If you have decided to make a social media application, you will need to add certain features to your app that are crucial and that users are looking for.
Many people believe that the more features their app has, the more engaging their app would be but that is not the case. You have to add some specific set of features according to the trends that will make your app popular among the users.
So, what are those features? Well, below we have mentioned some of the features that you must add to your social application:
Simplified And Quick Login
Social media lets users connect to friends and family members across the world in an easy way and for this reason, most customers wish that the login process is also as easy and quick as communication. So, people who are looking to develop a social media application, they should make sure that their app has easy login options for the users.
You can try to integrate your social media app with other popular social media platforms out there to make it even more simplified. If your app is user-friendly and easy to log in then it will be in the minds of more users.
Friendly User-Interface
After the login option comes the user interface option. You should also make certain that your social media app does not have an over complex user interface. The whole point of a social media app is to provide such a platform where the content can be easily shared and accessed & users can communicate with each other without any complex process involved.
Instead of giving your app a very strong visual design, you should try to pay more attention to the functionality of the app. Try to make the user interface simple yet effective. Try to choose such colors that complement each other and are placed at the right positions just like you can see on the popular platform Omegle.
Customizable Profiles
People also like to have customizable profiles on social media and they like to update their profiles according to their mood, their activities, and their interest. So, your app should have the option to allow the users to upload their display pictures, video clips, their short intro or bio, and other such things but while implementing all of this, make sure that you are adding something unique to your app because such features are already available in tons of social media apps out there.
So, your app should have something unique that will attract the users towards your apps just like the app Chatroulette has a unique feature of pairing you up with random people from around the world.
Engaging Feeds
Why are social media applications like Facebook and Instagram so famous & popular? It is because these apps have managed to take over the world thanks to their ability to show real-time engaging content to the users. Social media has become a major part of most people’s lives where they express their views and thoughts.
Your app should have the ability to show real-time engaging content to the users. An example of this is Trend on Twitter in which you can find out what’s trending in a specific area or in the world.
Content Sharing
About 90% of the active social media users prefer to share all sorts of content with their social network and in recent times, it has been the best feature that users can share their favorite content and stay connected with each other even though they are far away from each other.
There are now different ways to share content such as photos, videos, and statuses. Currently, the most trending way of sharing content is through stories/statuses that allow people to view photos/videos for a time period of 24 hours.
