The following social media apps are most likely to be abandoned by teens in coming years

With the passage of time, people change and along with that their interests in various things change. We use a variety of social media platforms as a getaway thing from daily life struggles. Internet users usually want to have their own space where they can be free from all sorts of judgments and that’s why they prefer different social media platforms. Sometimes with the passage, and the growth of huge users on a platform people start losing their interest. With the change in their interests, people feel bored to be on the same platforms repeating the same routine every day. And this is especially true for Generation Z, who born after 1996.

Young Adults lost their interest in Facebook

We’ve seen the era when Facebook was considered one of the most popular platforms in the world and it still is but over the past years there is a whole new world of social media apps on the internet. The preferences and interests of people change with the passage of time, they always crave for something new as a change.
