Snapchat (launched in 2011) is an app that allows users to create video stories about their everyday lives with a catch - they expire after 24 hours.
Snapchat users can also send messages to others in forms of video and image.
The content of this platform is more lighthearted than other social media platforms.
Then in 2017, TikTok came to life.
Boasting a similar idea to the previously known vine, TikTok allows its users to create looping videos from 10 seconds to 60 seconds.
These videos can be seen algorithmically on the user feeds in terms of demographics and interests.
