Every day, they introduce new features to set themselves apart from the competition and attract users. Meanwhile, those of us on the other side of the screen try to keep up with them and adapt to the new features they introduce, although it can sometimes feel like an uphill struggle. That\u2019s why, in this post, we\u2019re sharing <strong>The 10 social media trends <\/strong>In 2024. Is TikTok still the users\u2019 platform of choice? Are videos or photos more popular? And will artificial intelligence go out of fashion? Read on to find out how to navigate this fast-changing landscape successfully! <\/p><h2>The 10 trends that will shape the future of social media in 2024 <\/h2><h3><strong>Use of Augmented Reality <\/strong><\/h3><p>Augmented reality is a form of technology that superimposes layers of virtual elements onto real-world images. In practice, we\u2019re talking about those typical Instagram filters with animal ears, or the viral videos on TikTok where you appear to be in Rome, when in fact you haven\u2019t even left the house. <\/p><p>Brands have already recognised the potential of this technology to promote their products and boost sales. That is why they have incorporated it into their strategy to<a href=\"https:\/\/educa.pro\/en\/trends-in-digital-marketing\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>digital marketing<\/strong><\/a> and have promoted initiatives such as trying out virtual products or listening to immersive narratives. In 2024, the platforms aim to continue integrating augmented reality to provide users with more immersive experiences and thus meet their needs. <\/p><h3><strong>TikTok\u2019s expansion<\/strong><\/h3><p>TikTok is here to stay. At least that will be the case this year. What started out as a platform solely for uploading dance videos has now gained millions of users by targeting specific niches and offering <a href=\"https:\/\/educa.pro\/en\/articles\/content-plan\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">contents<\/a> for all kinds of audiences. Whether you\u2019re looking for a job, are passionate about reading, or simply want to share your day-to-day life, TikTok is designed for you. With its unique focus on creativity and instant entertainment, it has become a key platform for self-expression, content discovery and social connection, as well as being the preferred social network for a large proportion of <strong>content creators<\/strong>. <\/p><p>Furthermore, this platform has influenced certain changes that have taken place in<strong> Facebook and Instagram<\/strong> who have had to prioritise the<strong> video format<\/strong> in order to compete with TikTok. At this point, we\u2019d like to remind you of something: before you take the plunge or launch your brand on this social media platform, consider whether your target audience is there and how they respond to the content you want to create. <\/p><h3><strong>Video remains the most popular format<\/strong><\/h3><p>If you\u2019re torn between sharing something with images or videos, we\u2019ll help you decide: go for the latter. In 2024, videos remain the star format, driven precisely by platforms such as TikTok. There\u2019s no set formula for success here: as a brand, you can create original content about what you offer or jump on trends that are already well-established on social media. Just make sure the videos are short and filmed in portrait format so they can be enjoyed more easily on a mobile. Also, don\u2019t force the content just to make it go viral. <\/p><h3><strong>Social media platforms are now search engines too<\/strong><\/h3><p>How many times have you searched for a brand on Instagram before turning to Google? You\u2019re not the only one who\u2019s done it. These days, it\u2019s very common to check out a brand\u2019s social media profiles first, look at their posts and read the comments before making a purchase. That\u2019s why implementing SEO strategies on these platforms is now essential. Hashtags alone are no longer enough: by 2024, you\u2019ll need to go one step further and optimise keywords so that you appear among the top search results. <\/p><h3><strong>Use of interactive videos<\/strong><\/h3><p>Videos will no longer be a one-way experience. Platforms are increasingly incorporating elements such as polls or questionnaires into videos to make them a two-way, interactive experience. This also leads to greater feedback between users and businesses. <\/p><h3><strong>Artificial intelligence is becoming firmly established<\/strong><\/h3><p>I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve got a friend who\u2019s taken a trip back to the \u201990s in a school yearbook with the help of the <a href=\"https:\/\/educa.pro\/en\/articles\/artificial-intelligence-for-businesses\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AI). Well, this year it will no longer be just a passing fad. Platforms have realised that AI has much more to offer and are integrating this tool to understand and anticipate users\u2019 needs, with more sophisticated recommendation systems and automated content moderation tools. <\/p><p>Furthermore, AI-powered content generation tools will continue to be favoured by users and brands seeking to speed up the creative process. In this case, if you use an AI-generated output as a multimedia element, you must make this clear to avoid misinformation. <\/p><h3><strong>Gamification on social media<\/strong><\/h3><p>Integrating games into platforms will be a trend this year to boost audience engagement and retain users. From challenges and rewards to scoring systems and competitions, gamification transforms the audience experience into a more dynamic and engaging activity. Furthermore, this trend not only promotes interaction between users, but also encourages the creation of creative and original content. <\/p><h3><strong>Listening to users is a priority<\/strong><\/h3><p>Companies are interested in what the <a href=\"https:\/\/educa.pro\/en\/articles\/unmasking-the-11-types-of-customers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">customer <\/a>about their brand. That is why they implement listening tools to understand what consumers need, find out their opinions and gain an insight into their feelings. Generally speaking, listening to users makes it easier to resolve problems, tailor marketing strategies, analyse emerging trends and manage the brand\u2019s reputation in real time. <\/p><h3><strong>The rise of broadcast channels<\/strong><\/h3><p>There are quite a few influencers and companies that already have a channel for sharing content, particularly on Instagram. They have found that this format allows them to come across as much more natural and to connect with their audience. To date, the relationship has been one-way, as only the channel\u2019s creators and moderators can post, although they do receive responses in the form of emojis from their followers. <\/p><h3><strong>More sharing and fewer \u2018likes\u2019: the new metrics<\/strong><\/h3><p>By 2024, the number of \u2018likes\u2019 a post receives will no longer be as important as the number of times it has been shared or saved. These metrics are less susceptible to manipulation and are geared towards genuine engagement and tangible business results. <\/p><p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about this and many other areas related to social media and how to use it, do feel free to follow us on the Educa.Pro blog. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p id=\"\">Is TikTok still the users\u2019 favourite?
