After Instagram, it's followed up by Facebook. Theses are the two major social media applications that consume my data. 

But the online football game which I'm playing currently is taking over as the application that consumes my data the most.

Of all the social media application that we have flooding the internet today, it's only one that I'm well aware of how bad it consumes data subscription more than any other and its the almighty Instagram social media site. I personally took out time to study and analyze how all the social media applications installed in my Samsung Galaxy J7 consumes my internet data, and after one month of study, I came up with the result that shows Instagram to be consuming 60 percent of my data and Facebook to be taking 30 percent of my data, then other applications taking the remaining 10 percent. After getting this statistical analysis reports on how my data is used, I had to take the decision and uninstall my Instagram application.

What consumes data the most are videos and pictures. So social media sites that allows users to post videos and pictures are Facebook and Twitter. Also note even after closing an application, it can still be running on the background.

It depends on the user's usage habits, but in general, video-based applications such as YouTube, Netflix, and Instagram tend to consume the most data. Additionally, streaming music services such as Spotify and SoundCloud can also use up a significant amount of data.

The amount of network data consumed by social media applications can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of content being shared, the number of users, the platform's algorithms, and the user's settings. However, generally speaking, social media applications that support video content tend to consume more network data than those that primarily rely on text or image-based content.

As of 2021, some of the most data-consuming social media applications include:

TikTok - a popular video-sharing app that allows users to upload and watch short-form videos. The app's algorithm is designed to keep users engaged by showing them videos based on their interests, which can lead to a lot of scrolling and watching.

Instagram - a photo and video-sharing platform that also offers features like stories and reels. Like TikTok, Instagram's algorithm is designed to keep users engaged and scrolling through content, which can lead to high data usage.

YouTube - a video-sharing website that allows users to upload, view, and share videos. YouTube's content is mostly user-generated, and the platform offers a wide range of video types, including music videos, vlogs, and tutorials, which can lead to a lot of data consumption.

Facebook - a social networking platform that allows users to connect with friends and family, share photos and videos, and join groups. Facebook's algorithms are designed to keep users engaged by showing them content that is relevant to their interests, which can lead to high data usage.

It's worth noting that the amount of data consumed by these applications can also depend on the user's individual settings, such as video quality and autoplay settings. Users can reduce their data usage by adjusting these settings and by using Wi-Fi whenever possible
