What makes a good social media app

Social apps are feeds and profiles: fast content consumption, easy posting, notifications and the social graph that keeps people returning.

What these 63 social media apps have in common

The 63 apps here average 28 captured screens each; LinkedIn is the deepest at 957 screens, and 3 of them have 20 screens or more — enough to follow onboarding, the main tabs and settings end to end.
