How Social Media Works ?

The purpose of these technologies also differs because social media encompasses so many various kinds of websites and applications. On most social media platforms, a user must first create a profile by typically entering their name and email address.

Users can produce and share content after creating a profile. For instance, a brand-new Instagram user can take a photo and upload it with a caption on their profile. Social media users can identify other users whose content they want to follow or comment on in addition to providing content for their own profiles. A user may "follow" another user, "add" them as a "friend," or "subscribe" to another person's page depending on the form of social media.

The "feeds" that social media platforms frequently employ let users navigate through content. Social media businesses utilize algorithms to choose the material that displays and the sequence in which it does so depending on a user's profile data. Content from "following" users as well as from companies who pay to advertise their content will be included in the feed.
