how you can use social media in a healthy way

set your intention:

what use do you want to make of social media?

which apps do you want to keep using and which not (or reduce their consumption)?

how much time are you spending on it? how much do you want to spend on it?

establishes limits of use:

you can activate or deactivate certain applications when you are no longer using them so that they do not distract you or add a time limit depending on how much time or how many days a week you want to use the app.

how to set the time of use?:

ios:

settings > usage time > limit app usage > add limit

you can also limit apps only in focus, work, do not disturb or whatever mode you have set.

settings > focus > the category in which you want to activate it > focus filters

android:

settings > well-being and parental controls > set time for your apps

pros and cons:

make a list of where social media is good for you and where it is bad for you. anything that is hurting you stop watching or following.

value your real time:

not having social media or having control over it brings you more in your life and personal growth. for example, how many of us have woken up and the first thing we have done was to look at instagram or another social network and that has made us lose time of our morning? instead you can do a short meditation or breathing to start the day off right, it also reduces stress and anxiety.

just think about how much you spend a week being stuck in social media and imagine what activities you could develop in that time.

other tips:

look for an activity you would like to try

socialize more with your friends

keep your cell phone away from you or in a “do not disturb” or “concentration” mode when you are engaged in an activity

spend more time in nature

uninstall or deactivate those apps that no longer benefit you, try it for a while.

don't take anything personally from what people may share there.

conclusions:

when you have a routine, things to do, you don't pay as much attention to being online all the time, so it's not such a hard task. i'm not saying stop using your phone but i'm writing this post for all those people who spend all day scrolling or really spend a lot of time watching tik tok or instagram, that's not healthy in the end.

of course you can still use social media but with knowledge and in a way that does not harm you or does not compromise your time too much. the most important thing is not to be glued to a phone watching what others do but enjoy your life.

Blocking Ads on Mobile Devices

Blocking ads on our phones is way harder than it should be so I figured I'd make some recommendations. These are not the only options out there, just the ones that I know and have used.

Please note that browser-level and system-level adblocking are complementary; you'll have the best experience if you use both of them together as they each block different things in different places. If you want a basic idea of how effective your combined adblocking setup is, you can visit this website in your mobile browser.

Lastly, there is some additional advice/info under the readmore if you're curious (EDIT: updated March 2025 to add more adblocking options for iOS and to add info about sideloading altered versions of social media apps that don't contain ads on Android and iOS).

Android

Browser-Level

uBlock Origin (for Firefox)

System-Level (works in all apps, not just browsers)

AdGuard

Blokada 5 (completely free version) OR Blokada 6 (has some newer features but they require a subscription)

iPhone/iPad

Browser-Level

AdGuard (Safari extension; free for basic browser-level blocking, requires a subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for custom filters)

1Blocker (Safari extension from an indie developer; can enable one built-in or custom filter list for free, requires a subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for enabling multiple filter lists and updating filter lists to the latest version automatically)

Wipr 2 (one time purchase from indie developer; simplest option to use, but also the least configurable. Best if you are looking for one time set and forget and don’t need any custom filters. Note that it does not have a system-level blocking option)

System-Level (works in all apps, not just browsers)

AdGuard (requires subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for system-level blocking)

1Blocker (can activate without a subscription, but requires subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license to enable system-level blocking AND browser-level blocking simultaneously)

AdGuard DNS only (this is free and does not require the AdGuard app, BUT I would only recommend it for advanced users, as you can't easily turn it off like you can with the app. Credit to this Reddit thread for the DNS profile)

Some additional info: browser-level blocking is a browser addon or extension, like you might be used to from a desktop computer. This inspects the HTML code returned by websites and searches for patterns that identify the presence of an ad or other annoyance (popup videos, cookie agreements, etc.). System-level blocking is almost always DNS-based. Basically whenever an app asks your phone's OS to make a connection to a website that is known for serving ads, the system-level blocker replies "sorry, I don't know her 🤷‍♂️💅" and the ad doesn't get downloaded. This works in most places, not just a browser, but be warned that it might make your battery drain a little faster depending on the app/setup.

Each of those types of blocking has strengths and weaknesses. System-level DNS blocking blocks ads in all apps, but companies that own advertising networks AND the websites those ads are served on can combine their services into the same domain to render DNS blocking useless; you can’t block ads served by Facebook/Meta domains without also blocking all of Facebook and Instagram as well because they made sure their ads are served from the same domain as all the user posts you actually want to see. Similarly, browser-level blocking can recognize ads by appearance and content, regardless of what domain they’re served from, so it can block them on Instagram and Facebook. However, it needs to be able to inspect the content being loaded in order to look for ads, and there’s no way to do that in non-browser apps. That’s why using both together will get you the best results.

These limitations do mean that you can’t block ads in the Facebook or Instagram apps, unfortunately, only in the website versions of them visited in your browser. It also means ads served by meta’s/facebook’s ad network in other apps can’t be blocked either (unless you're one of the rare beasts who doesn't use facebook or instagram or threads, in which case feel free to blacklist all Meta/FB domains and watch your ads disappear 😍; I'm jealous and in awe of you lol).

One note: some apps may behave unpredictably when they can't download ads. For example, the Tumblr app has big black spaces where the ads are, and sometimes those spaces collapse as you scroll past them and it messes up scrolling for a few seconds (UPDATE: looks like the scrolling issue may have actually been a Tumblr bug that they have now fixed, at least on iOS). Still way less annoying than getting ads for Draco Malfoy seduction roleplay AI chatbots imo though. And honestly *most* apps handle this fairly gracefully, like a mobile game I play just throws error messages like "ad is not ready" and then continues like normal.

One final note: on Android, you may actually be able to find hacked versions of Meta’s apps that have the ad frameworks removed. In some cases they are a little janky (unsurprisingly, apps don’t always take kindly to having some of their innards ripped out by a third-party), and they are often out of date. BUT in return you get an Instagram app with no ads whatsoever, and some of them even add additional features like buttons for saving IG videos and photos to your phone. However, use these apps at your own risk, as there is functionally no way to validate the code that the third-parties have added or removed from the app. Example altered IG app (I have not vetted this altered app, it's just a popular option): link.

It is technically possible to install altered apps on iOS as well, but Apple makes it much, much harder to do (unless you are jailbroken, which is a whole different ballgame). I'm not going to cover sideloading or jailbreaking here because even I as a very techy person eventually grew tired of messing with it or having to pay for it. If you're interested you can read more about the different ways to do sideloading on iOS here.

what is the best way to get safer/more anonymous online

Ok, security and anonymity are not the same thing, but when you combine them you can enhance your online privacy.

My question is: how tech literate are you and what is your aim? As in do you live in a country where your government would benefit from monitoring private (political) conversations or do you just want to degoogle? Because the latter is much easier for the average user.

Some general advice:

Leave Windows and Mac operating systems and switch to Linux distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu (both very user friendly). Switch from Microsoft Office or Pages/Numbers/Keynote (Mac) to LibreOffice.

You want to go more hardcore with a very privacy-focused operating system? There are Whonix and Tails (portable operating system).

Try to replace all your closed source apps with open source ones.

Now, when it comes to browsers, leave Chrome behind. Switch to Firefox (or Firefox Focus if you're on mobile). Want to go a step further? Use LibreWolf (a modified version of Firefox that increases protection against tracking), Brave (good for beginners but it has its controversies), DuckDuckGo or Bromite. You like ecofriendly alternatives? Check Ecosia out.

Are you, like, a journalist or political activist? Then you probably know Tor and other anonymous networks like i2p, freenet, Lokinet, Retroshare, IPFS and GNUnet.

For whistleblowers there are tools like SecureDrop (requires Tor), GlobaLeaks (alternative to SecureDrop), Haven (Android) and OnionShare.

Search engines?

There are Startpage (obtains Google's results but with more privacy), MetaGer (open source), DuckDuckGo (partially open source), Searx (open source). You can see the comparisons here.

Check libRedirect out. It redirects requests from popular socmed websites to privacy friendly frontends.

Alternatives to YouTube that value your privacy? Odysee, PeerTube and DTube.

Decentralized apps and social media? Mastodon (Twitter alternative), Friendica (Facebook alternative), diaspora* (Google+ RIP), PixelFed (Insta alternative), Aether (Reddit alternative).

Messaging?

I know we all use shit like Viber, Messenger, Telegram, Whatsup, Discord etc. but there are:

Signal (feels like Whatsup but it's secure and has end-to-end encryption)

Session (doesn't even require a phone or e-mail address to sign up)

Status (no phone or e-mail address again)

Threema (for mobile)

Delta Chat (you can chat with people if you know their e-mail without them having to use the app)

Team chatting?

Open source options:

Element (an alternative to Discord)

Rocket.chat (good for companies)

Revolt.chat (good for gamers and a good alternative to Discord)

Video/voice messaging?

Brave Talk (the one who creates the talk needs to use the browser but the others can join from any browser)

Jami

Linphone

Jitsi (no account required, video conferencing)

Then for Tor there are various options like Briar (good for activists), Speek! and Cwtch (user friendly).

Georestrictions? You don't want your Internet Provider to see what exactly what you're doing online?

As long as it's legal in your country, then you need to hide your IP with a VPN (authoritarian regimes tend to make them illegal for a reason), preferably one that has a no log policy, RAM servers, does not operate in one of the 14 eyes, supports OpenVPN (protocol), accepts cash payment and uses a strong encryption.

NordVPN (based in Panama)

ProtonVPN (Switzerland)

Cyberghost

Mullvad (Sweden)

Surfshark (Netherlands)

Private e-mails?

ProtonMail

StartMail

Tutamail

Mailbox (ecofriendly option)

Want to hide your real e-mail address to avoid spam etc.? SimpleLogin (open source)

E-mail clients?

Thunderbird

Canary Mail (for Android and iOS)

K-9 Mail (Android)

Too many complex passwords that you can't remember?

NordPass

BitWarden

LessPass

KeePassXC

Two Factor Authenticators?

2FAS

ente Authenticator

Aegis Authenticator

andOTP

Tofu (for iOS)

Want to encrypt your files? VeraCrypt (for your disk), GNU Privacy Guard (for your e-mail), Hat.sh (encryption in your browser), Picocrypt (Desktop encryption).

Want to encrypt your Dropbox, Google Drive etc.? Cryptomator.

Encrypted cloud storage?

NordLocker

MEGA

Proton Drive

Nextcloud

Filen

Encrypted photography storage?

ente

Cryptee

Piwigo

Want to remove metadata from your images and videos? ExifCleaner. For Android? ExifEraser. For iOS? Metapho.

Cloak your images to counter facial recognition? Fawkes.

Encrypted file sharing? Send.

Do you menstruate? Do you want an app that tracks your menstrual cycle but doesn't collect your data? drip.

What about your sexual health? Euki.

Want a fitness tracker without a closed source app and the need to transmit your personal data to the company's servers? Gadgetbridge.

What you need to know about the X (formerly Twitter) situation in Brazil

Without a representative in the country, the platform was suspended following a Brazilian Supreme Court ruling

When the clock turned from August 30 to August 31, 2024, if you were using X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil, your timeline likely started to have trouble loading, and the direct messages sent and received wouldn't update. Throughout the following day, some people could still use the social media platform, depending on their internet provider or whether they were connected via WiFi.

By September 1, X was already down. On their app, you'd read a message saying, “Posts are not being loaded. Try again,” followed by a timeline with posts a few hours old. Now, mainly people willing to use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) — which could lead to fines — can access the platform in Brazil.

The situation unfolded from the latest chapter in the feud between the platform’s owner, billionaire Elon Musk, and the Supreme Court justice in charge of investigating fake news and digital militias in Brazil, Alexandre de Moraes.

After X refused to comply with legal orders to block accounts of people investigated for threats to the Brazilian democracy and hold a legal representative in the country, Moraes ordered the suspension of the platform over the national territory. The justice issued an order to Anatel (Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency) and to Apple and Google so X's app would be blocked on iOS and Android, and removed from their online stores.

Penetration Testing Explained: Methods, Benefits, and Best Practices for Security Testing Services

Also typically called pen testing, penetration testing is a perfect mechanism for identifying and fixing security issues in an IT system of a company.

Knowing About Penetration Testing and Its Role in Vulnerability Testing Services

A simulated cyber attack on your computer system, penetration testing finds exploitable vulnerabilities. Pen testing companies replicate the behaviors of evil hackers in order to locate and fix security holes before they are taken advantage of. Vulnerability testing services play a critical role in this process by identifying potential risks.

Relative Value of Penetration Testing in Security Testing Services

One needs penetration testing for several different purposes. It guarantees conformity to industry standards and norms as well as helps to identify security issues. It is a fundamental part of the Risk Management strategy and could help protect the reputation of your company and enhance your general security posture at the same time. Penetration testing companies and vulnerability assessment services ensure that businesses stay protected.

Pen Testing Companies Offer These Benefits in Vulnerability Assessment Services:

Pointing up vulnerabilities before attackers do with vulnerability testing services.

Ensuring Compliance: Follow industry and legal norms (PCI DSS, GDPR).

Risk Control: Acknowledge and solve any security issues.

Maintaining Reputation: Steer clear of data leaks likely to damage the standing of your business.

Enhancing Security Posture: Raise general defenses against online vulnerabilities with security testing services.

Several Forms of Penetration Testing Conducted by Security Testing Services

Penetration testing comes in several forms, each of which concentrates on another part of the IT system of a company. Along with social engineering and physical penetration testing, these comprise network penetration testing, web application penetration testing, mobile application penetration testing, and social engineering testing.

Network Penetration Testing for Enhanced Security Testing Services

Network penetration testing is used to find flaws in the infrastructure of the network. This includes several settings and network equipment.

Point up areas of network infrastructure fragility using vulnerability testing services.

Scope covers switches, firewalls, routers, and other network hardware.

Web Application Penetration Testing by Leading Pen Testing Companies

Web application penetration testing assesses internet-based application security. It looks for issues in web servers, databases, and APIs that might be exploited.

Goal: Analyze web application security using penetration testing companies.

Scope calls for APIs, databases, and web servers.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing for Improved Vulnerability Assessment Services

Penetration testing of mobile apps assesses program safety measures for mobile devices. This kind of security testing service targets features unique to mobile platforms.

Goal: Find mobile application security issues.

Scope covers iOS and Android apps using leading vulnerability testing services.

Social Engineering Penetration Testing by Expert Pen Testing Companies

Penetration testing in social engineering looks at the human element of security. This type of penetration testing finds weaknesses in human behavior and processes.

Goal: Estimate human weaknesses using vulnerability assessment services.

Within scope include phishing, pretexting, and other social engineering techniques.

Penetration Testing Techniques Used by Security Testing Services

Penetration testing companies use different approaches, each with advantages and unique insights. The most commonly applied methods are white box testing, black box testing, and gray box testing.

White Box Testing by Penetration Testing Companies

White box testing calls for total system knowledge. Testers may view network configurations, source code, and system architecture. It is perfect for spotting certain weaknesses in already-known systems using vulnerability testing services.

Black Box Testing Conducted by Pen Testing Companies

Black box testing is where the tester is unfamiliar with the system in advance. This method replaces the perspective of an outside assailant, which is crucial for security testing services.

Gray Box Testing: A Combination Approach for Comprehensive Security Testing Services

Between white box and black box testing, gray box testing strikes a balance. Usually possessing insider knowledge, testers have a limited awareness of the system. It merges the realism of black box testing with the knowledge acquired from white box testing.

The Step-By-Step Process of Penetration Testing by Security Testing Services

The penetration testing process includes several crucial steps to ensure a thorough investigation. Vulnerability assessment services rely on these steps to identify and repair security risks.

1. Design and Scoping Planning for Effective Vulnerability Testing Services

The first phase consists of determining the test’s scope and spotting particular goals. Getting the necessary permissions and agreements falls under this phase as well.

Clearly specify goals: Indicate exactly the objectives of the test using security testing services.

Get Approvals: Ensure every necessary authorizer is in place.

2. Reconnaissance: Collecting Data for Advanced Vulnerability Assessment Services

Testers gather data about the target environment using both passive and active approaches.

Passive methods include WHOIS searches.

Aggressive methods include port scanning for penetration testing companies.

3. Exploitation: Simulating Attacks for Penetration Testing Companies

Attack Simulation: Find and target weaknesses using various tools and approaches.

Penetration testing companies use these techniques for thorough security testing.

4. Post-Exploitation: Analyzing Impact with Security Testing Services

Impact Analysis: Assess the effect of exploited vulnerabilities.

Gather further information to understand potential damage using vulnerability testing services.

5. Documentation: Reporting Vulnerabilities for Effective Pen Testing Companies

Documented Results: Write a comprehensive report outlining weaknesses.

Provide recommended solutions using vulnerability assessment services.

6. Retesting and Remedial Work for Continuous Improvement in Security Testing Services

Fix vulnerabilities found through penetration testing companies.

Run follow-up tests to verify all issues are resolved.

Best Practices for Ensuring a Successful Penetration Testing Process

Follow these best practices to guarantee a secure and effective penetration testing process:

Clearly state specific, measurable targets for penetration testing companies.

Complete Scope: Cover all relevant programs and systems.

Hire experienced and certified testers from security testing services.

Frequent Testing: Stay ahead of evolving threats with regular vulnerability assessment services.

Detailed Reporting: Provide comprehensive, actionable reports from pen testing companies.

Collaboration: Work closely with IT and security departments.

Continuous Improvement: Use findings to enhance ongoing security efforts.

Conclusion: The Role of Penetration Testing in a Strong Cybersecurity Strategy

A well-rounded cybersecurity strategy depends on penetration testing as a core element. By proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, businesses can safeguard their data, maintain compliance, and strengthen their security posture.

Implementing recognized methodologies and best practices ensures that penetration testing companies provide valuable insights, contributing to a safer and more secure environment.

For my American Friends

I feel now is a good time to spread this news. Much like how the internet came together to help share information with the Ukrainians for resisting Russia, I’m here delivering help of a similar nature to those that could be impacted by this latest election in the US. There are ways to communicate relatively securely, outside of Big Brother's social media. I bring this up so that we can minimize the amount of gatherable information that could be used to hurt you, or others you know, in the coming years as changes are made. I'm not going to tell you how or why to use them, I'm just going to provide you with the information.

WhatsApp – While not my personal favorite, since Facebook/Meta is the parent company, WhatsApp is free, globally popular, and widely-used, featuring the ability to lock chats with passwords, disappearing messages, photos and videos that are deleted after being opened, profile photo privacy, the ability to lock the app itself so that only your biometrics can unlock it, encrypted backups, the ability to set custom permissions for who can see you online or when you last used the app, and of course End-to-End Encryption for all conversations EXCEPT those with business accounts. WhatsApp is a good option for those who are not really technically savvy, but still value privacy – if one trusts Facebook/Meta to adequately protect their privacy. It does require a phone number to sign up, however.

Signal - Signal is an end-to-end encrypted messaging software. meaning that the contents of your conversation is secure. The protocol they use (which they created) is seen as the best known protocol for asynchronous messaging by cybersecurity researchers. It's so good that it has been implemented in WhatsApp and in Messenger's secret chats. This app has even been mentioned in the Right-wing author Jack Carr's Political Thriller about a Navy SEAL named James Reece, as being a preferred method of secure communication on the civilian side for operators. (Jack Carr is a former US Navy SEAL.) It's run by a Non-Profit organization called Signal Foundation, and it's mission is to "protect free expression and enable secure global communication through open source privacy technology." It allows secure messaging, voice calls, and video calls. The only downside is that app links to your phone number, so while your conversations and content are secure, who you are talking to is not. Signal is available on Windows, Mac, Andriod, Linus, and iOS.

Session - Session is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimises sensitive metadata, designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance. Session is an open-source, public-key-based secure messaging application which uses a set of decentralized storage servers and an onion routing protocol to send end-to-end encrypted messages with minimal exposure of user metadata. This means no phone numbers, no metadata for digital footprints, and censorship resistance. It features group chats, the ability to send documents, files, and images securely, and has added voice messages, though these can be spotty. It’s slow, but effective, and be downloaded on Android, F-Droid, iPhone, Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Briar - If you have an Android phone, Briar is another option you have. It features a decentralized network (it’s peer-to-peer encrypted, rather than relying on a central server), meaning messages are synced directly between user devices. It also means that even if the internet is down, it can sync via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or even memory cards, meaning information can continue to flow even during a crisis. In the event the internet is functioning, it can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. Other features: - Screenshots and screen recording are disabled by default - Each user’s contact list is encrypted and stored on her own device. - Briar’s end-to-end encryption prevents keyword filtering, and because of its decentralized design there are no servers to block. - Every user who subscribes to a forum keeps a copy of its content, so there’s no single point where a post can be deleted. - Briar’s forums have no central server to attack, and every subscriber has access to the content even if they’re offline. - Doesn’t require any user data like name and phone number. The downside is that it is text-only and limited to Android Devices, but they do offer Briar Mailbox to deliver messages securely to those who are online at different times. Briar’s goal is “to enable people in any country to create safe spaces where they can debate any topic, plan events, and organize social movements”

Protonmail - A free end-to-end encrypted AND zero-access encryption email service based out of Switzerland, you can safely email with peace of mind that your content is secure. Unlike Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and others, Proton's zero-access encryption means they can't even view the contents of your emails or attachments. As a Swiss-owned company they are not allowed to share information with foreign law enforcement under criminal penalty and they are politically neutral, meaning they won't be pressured by foreign governments. Furthermore, Switzerland has a constitutional right to privacy and strict data protection laws. Unlike companies in other countries, Proton cannot be compelled by foreign or Swiss authorities to engage in bulk surveillance.

Additional Information, from Proton’s Website: Switzerland has strong legal protections for individual rights, and in fact the Swiss Federal Constitution(new window) explicitly establishes a constitutional right to privacy. (In the US, this right is merely implied.) Specifically, Article 13 safeguards privacy in personal or family life and within one’s home, and the Swiss Civil Code(new window) translates this right into statutory law in Article 28.

In the US and EU, authorities can issue gag orders to prevent an individual from knowing they are being investigated or under surveillance. While this type of order also exists in Switzerland, the prosecutors have an obligation to notify the target of surveillance, and the target has an opportunity to appeal in court. In Switzerland, there are no such things as national security letters(new window), and all surveillance requests must go through the courts. Warrantless surveillance, like that practiced in the US where the FBI conducts 3.4 million searches per year(new window) with little oversight, is illegal and not permitted in Switzerland.

Switzerland also benefits from a unique legal provision with Article 271 of the Swiss Criminal Code(new window), which forbids any Swiss company from assisting foreign law enforcement, under threat of criminal penalty. While Switzerland is party to certain international legal assistance agreements, all requests under such agreements must hold up under Swiss law, which has much stricter privacy provisions. All foreign requests are assessed by the Swiss government, which generally does not assist requests from countries with poor rule of law or lack an independent judiciary.

Swiss law has several more unique points. First, it preserves end-to-end encryption, and unlike in the US, UK, or EU, there is no legislation that has been introduced or considered to limit the right to encryption. Second, Swiss law protects no-logs VPN(new window) meaning that Proton VPN does not have logging obligations. While numerous VPNs claim no-logs, these claims generally do not stand up legally because in most jurisdictions, governments can request that the VPN in question starts logging. So the VPN is only no-logs until the government asks. However, in Switzerland, the law does not allow the government to compel Proton VPN to start logging.

We’ve also fought to ensure that Switzerland remains a legal jurisdiction that respects and protects privacy.

Nearly every country in the world has laws governing lawful interception of electronic communications for law enforcement purposes. In Switzerland, these regulations are set out in the Swiss Federal Act on the Surveillance of Post and Telecommunications (SPTA), which was last revised on March 18, 2018. In May 2020, we challenged a decision of the Swiss government over what we believed was an improper attempt to use telecommunications laws to undermine privacy.

In October 2021, The Swiss Federal Administrative Court ultimately agreed with us and ruled that email companies cannot be considered telecommunication providers. This means Proton isn’t required to follow any of the SPTA’s mandatory data retention rules, nor are we bound by a full obligation to identify Proton Mail users. Moreover, as a Swiss company, Proton Mail cannot be compelled to engage in bulk surveillance on behalf of US or Swiss intelligence agencies. (Links can be found at: proton.me/blog/switzerland)

Social Media App Development in 2025: Top Trends, Technologies & Startup Opportunities

Social media has come a long way from being simple platforms for status updates and photo sharing. In 2025, it has evolved into a hyper-interactive ecosystem driven by AI, immersive experiences, and a strong emphasis on privacy. The shift isn’t just technological—it’s cultural. Users today demand innovation, personalization, and community. For startups aiming to enter the social media space, this is a golden era filled with opportunity and fierce competition.

In this blog, we’ll explore the latest trends in Social Media App Development for 2025, the technologies shaping the future, and why startups must partner with the right development company to build cutting-edge platforms.

The Evolution of Social Media: From Broadcast to Interaction

Social media platforms in the early 2010s were largely broadcast-based—users shared posts, and others reacted. Fast forward to 2025, and the model has flipped. Today’s platforms prioritize interaction, engagement, and real-time collaboration. Users expect more than passive content consumption; they want co-creation, immersive interaction, and community-driven experiences.

This evolution has been catalyzed by shifts in user behavior, emerging technologies, and heightened awareness around data privacy. Platforms like TikTok, BeReal, Threads, and niche social networks are redefining how people connect. Startups entering the space must not only catch up but also innovate beyond what currently exists in Networking App Development.

Key Features Users Expect in 2025

Modern users have elevated expectations from Social Media App Development. A feature-rich, responsive platform is no longer a luxury—it’s the bare minimum. Here are some core features that are shaping user engagement in 2025:

AI-powered content curation: Personalized feeds driven by advanced algorithms that understand user preferences.

Augmented Reality filters & virtual environments: Enhanced interactivity through AR-based lenses, live avatars, and digital try-ons.

Voice-first communication: With the rise of smart assistants and hands-free tech, voice notes, live audio chats, and AI-generated responses are mainstream.

Real-time collaboration tools: From shared reels to group editing, users want to create content together seamlessly.

Micro-communities: Users are moving toward intimate, interest-based groups over massive public networks.

In-app monetization: Creator tools, tipping features, and integrated eCommerce options are critical for user retention.

Startups that embed these features into their Custom Social Media App Solutions stand a stronger chance at engaging and retaining users in the long term.

Trending Technologies Driving Social Media Apps in 2025

To keep up with user expectations, startups must harness the most impactful technologies reshaping the Social Networking Solutions for Businesses. Here's a closer look at the top tech trends:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is the backbone of modern Networking App Development. From intelligent feed algorithms to content moderation, AI is driving automation, personalization, and user safety. In 2025, AI will also power chatbots, deepfake detection, voice synthesis, and hyper-targeted ad delivery.

2. Augmented Reality (AR)

AR has transcended novelty status. Social Networking App for Android & iOS uses AR for virtual meetups, 3D stickers, location-based lenses, and avatar customization. AR enhances user engagement and creates highly interactive storytelling opportunities.

3. Blockchain and Web3 Integration

Decentralized social platforms are gaining traction. Users are becoming wary of big tech monopolies and value transparency and ownership. Web3 platforms enable peer-to-peer interaction, creator monetization through tokens, and full control over personal data.

4. Machine Learning & Predictive Analytics

ML models are helping platforms predict user behavior, recommend connections, and drive real-time personalization. From discovering content to refining in-app ads, machine learning is behind the scenes of every interaction.

5. Edge Computing & 5G

With faster data transfer and reduced latency, 5G and edge computing enable smoother video calls, real-time AR overlays, and high-speed content uploads—even in remote regions.

Personalization and Data Privacy: The Two Pillars of Trust

While innovation drives user acquisition, trust drives retention. In 2025, the two most critical aspects users look for in a Social Media App Development for Entrepreneurs are personalization and data privacy, often perceived as opposites.

Apps must strike a balance between knowing the user and not overknowing them. Personalized feeds, ads, and suggestions are expected—but not at the cost of user data being sold or misused.

Startups must:

Clearly communicate privacy policies

Offer user-controlled data settings

Implement end-to-end encryption

Avoid invasive ad practices

Startups that build trust through transparent policies and responsible personalization will be better positioned to succeed in the long run with Custom Social Media App Solutions.

Why Startups Should Focus on Niche Communities

Mega-platforms like Facebook and Instagram cater to everyone, but that also means users often feel lost in the noise. In 2025, niche platforms are rising fast, providing users with spaces that reflect their unique interests, cultures, or professions.

Examples include:

Platforms for artists to share visual stories

Private networks for fitness enthusiasts

Local community apps built around neighborhoods

Discussion forums for specific professions or hobbies

By zeroing in on micro-audiences, startups can foster stronger engagement, brand loyalty, and monetization opportunities. These focused communities thrive on authenticity, active moderation, and user-driven content. Developing a Social Media App for Businesses that caters to these niches will enable entrepreneurs to connect with highly engaged users and meet specific needs.

Why Partnering with an Expert Social Media App Development Company Matters

Building a scalable, secure, and feature-rich social media platform in 2025 requires more than just an idea—it requires deep technical knowledge, UI/UX expertise, and future-ready architecture. This is where partnering with a seasoned Social Media App Development Company becomes critical.

Here’s how expert developers can elevate your idea:

Strategy & Market Research: Get valuable insights on your niche, competition, and what users want.

Technology Stack Selection: Experts help choose the best tools for scalability, speed, and security.

User-Centric Design: A great UI/UX can make or break your app’s success. Development companies have in-house designers who specialize in engagement-centric interfaces.

MVP to Full-Scale Launch: You can start lean with a minimum viable product (MVP) and gradually scale up without compromising performance.

Post-launch Support: Real-time monitoring, performance optimization, and iterative updates are essential after launch.

With proven experience in building Mobile App Development for Social Networking, Custom Social Media apps for Enterprises, and Networking App Development Services, a reliable development partner ensures your platform is not only innovative but also robust and future-proof.

Final Thoughts: Build the Future of Social Media—Start Today

The Social Media Platform Development space in 2025 is buzzing with opportunity for startups that are ready to innovate. From AI-powered engagement to decentralized platforms, the tools are all in place to create the next big thing. But success hinges on execution. Whether you’re aiming to disrupt a niche or build the next viral sensation, collaborating with a skilled Social Networking App for Android & iOS can make all the difference.

What is a Mobile Services Manager?

The Mobile Services Manager is a system app found on Android devices that plays a critical role in managing pre-installed applications and services. It operates in the background to ensure that the device’s apps are updated, functional, and integrated with the overall ecosystem.

Though often overlooked by users, this app serves as a central hub for managing essential services, particularly those tied to the manufacturer, carrier, or third-party software providers.

A mobile application development company specializes in creating innovative, user-friendly apps for iOS and Android tailored to meet client-specific needs.

Key Functions of Mobile Services Manager

1. App Management: The Mobile Services Manager manages pre-installed applications by ensuring they are up-to-date and functional. It may also enable or disable specific apps based on user preferences or carrier requirements.

2. Automatic App Updates: One of its primary functions is to keep apps updated without requiring manual intervention. The Yellow Ghost app, commonly referred to as Snapchat, is a popular social media platform for sharing photos, videos, and ephemeral messages.

3. Pre-installed Apps Installation: On certain devices, the Mobile Services Manager facilitates the installation of pre-loaded apps when a device is first set up or after a factory reset.

4. System Optimization: Managing resources efficiently helps ensure that the device runs smoothly without unnecessary strain from outdated or malfunctioning apps.

5. Carrier and Manufacturer Support: It acts as a bridge between the carrier or manufacturer and the user, ensuring specific apps and services required by the carrier are available and functional.

Media services encompass tools and platforms for creating, managing, and distributing digital content, including video, audio, and streaming solutions globally.

Benefits of Mobile Services Manager

1. Seamless User Experience: By automating updates and app management, users enjoy a hassle-free experience without the need for constant manual app maintenance.

2. Improved Security: Regular updates managed by this app can reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities by ensuring that critical patches are applied promptly.

3. Device Performance: Efficient management of apps and resources contributes to better device performance and longevity.

4. Convenience for Carriers and Manufacturers: The Mobile Services Manager simplifies the distribution of carrier-specific apps and updates, providing a streamlined way to deliver new features or services.

Finding social media profiles by email address for free involves using search engines, social networks, or specialized tools like Pipl and Lusha.

Concerns and Limitations

Despite its advantages, the Mobile Services Manager is not without criticism. Many users have expressed concerns about:

1. Unwanted App Installations: In some cases, the Mobile Services Manager installs apps that users may not want, leading to frustration and wasted storage space.

2. Resource Usage: Operating in the background, it can consume system resources such as battery life, memory, and data.

3. Privacy Concerns: Some users worry about the app’s permissions and its ability to access and manage other apps without explicit consent.

4. Limited Control: The app is typically a system-level application, making it difficult for users to disable or remove it without advanced technical knowledge.

To stop pop-up ads on Android, enable Chrome\u2019s pop-up blocker, install ad-blocking apps, disable unwanted apps, and check permissions.

Managing Mobile Services Manager

For users who want more control over their device’s behaviour, there are a few steps to manage the Mobile Services Manager effectively:

1. Restrict Background Data: Go to the app settings and restrict background data usage to minimize its impact on your mobile data.

2. Disable the App: If you find its functions unnecessary, you can disable the app from the system settings. Note that this may impact some pre-installed apps or services.

3. Use a Third-party App Manager: Some third-party apps allow users to manage system apps and gain more control over what runs on their device.

Safari on iPhone is Apple\u2019s default web browser, offering fast performance, privacy-focused features, and seamless integration with the iOS ecosystem.

Why is my internet so slow all of a sudden?

Sudden slow internet speed can result from network congestion, excessively connected devices, or ISP throttling. Outdated hardware, software updates, or malware might also contribute. Environmental factors, such as poor Wi-Fi signal or interference, can degrade performance. Restarting your router and checking with your ISP can help identify and resolve the issue.

Conclusion

The Mobile Services Manager is a crucial component of many Android devices, offering a mix of benefits and potential drawbacks. Android System WebView is a built-in system component enabling Android apps to display web content seamlessly, enhancing functionality and user experience.

While it simplifies app management and enhances security, its tendency to install unwanted apps and consume resources may be a source of frustration for some users. Understanding its role and learning how to manage it can help users make the most of their device while maintaining control over its functionality.

Samsung Internet pop-ups can be managed by enabling the browser\u2019s pop-up blocker, clearing browsing data, and adjusting site permissions in settings.
