Best 20 Social Media Apps That Will Rule in 2020
Mobile social media is famous, and is fashionably followed by a huge user base of 3.5 billion people around the globe.
Trending social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat have undoubtedly gained immense popularity and are dominating the social media via mobile devices. And this is something that even social media websites haven’t been able to deliver.
However, the scene is a bit different if we look at the brand names. For instance, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger have locked horns in a closed position to be on the top. Interestingly, these two apps are owned by Facebook Inc. and that’s the reason the competition is not that aggressive between the top social media platforms.
Though Instagram is also Facebook’s own social networking mobile app, yet the competition is more aggressive among the apps which are owned by different companies.
Between all the tussle between social media brands, Asian apps are also increasingly becoming part of the hot trend of social networking sites and mobile app, contributing to transforming the economies around the world.
