We all know how much the internet has changed in the last few years. It’s the same for everything else. Why go to the store when you can buy everything online? It seems like now we have apps that let us do everything from watching memes to organizing a group trip. So I wanted to dive into this topic and discuss the must-have apps of 2022.
YouTube
YouTube is the world’s most popular video-sharing website. YouTube was created in 2005 by three early employees of PayPal. Google bought the site in 2006 for $1.65 billion.
YouTube’s origins lie in a 2005 dispute between PayPal and another service called MobiTV over copyright issues involving clips from late 1990s TV shows like South Park and ER. Chad Hurley (one of PayPal’s co-founders) came up with an idea for an “online video sharing” service he called YouTube.
WhatsApp Messenger is the world’s most popular messaging app, with over 1.5 billion monthly active users. It’s free to download and allows you to send messages and make video calls for free, and even has stickers! If you want to share videos or photos with all your friends at once, WhatsApp makes it easy.
The group chat feature lets you connect with all your friends at once without clogging up your regular inbox. You can also use it in case of an emergency—like if there’s a dangerous storm coming your way—so people know where they need to go when they hear thunder rumbling in the distance.
Instagram is a photo-sharing app that has been around since 2010, and it’s pretty much the OG of social media. It can be used to share your everyday life with friends and followers alike, but it also serves as an excellent marketing tool for businesses.
Instagram is owned by Facebook, which means you can easily share content between the two platforms. Additionally, Instagram has more than 1 billion users worldwide—and over 500 million of them log in to check their feeds each day.
TikTok
TikTok is a short video app that lets you create and share short videos. It’s owned by Bytedance, which also owns the news aggregator Toutiao, as well as other popular social media apps like Douyin (the Chinese equivalent of TikTok) and Musical.ly (an app for adding music to your videos).
If you’re looking for an easy way to make funny or artistic videos with friends, this is one of your best options!
Reddit is a social news aggregation website where users submit content, in the form of either links or text posts. Other users then vote on the submissions, which are ranked based on popularity and relevance. The site generally tends to have a left-leaning bias.
Reddit has been around since 2005 and is still going strong. It’s become one of the most popular sites in the world for finding news and entertainment about topics you care about, as well as connecting with people who share your interests.
