Top 45 Social Media Trends in December

From Hidden Social Media Likes to Meme-Making Apps

— December 29, 2019 — Tech
Some of the ideas that are explored in the top December 2019 social media trends include social media challenges, streamlined apps, virtual shops and interactive packaging. In the latter category, KFC created and artful and festive chicken bucket that shows real products people can win. Inside the FabFitFun Winter Box, users will find a Snapcode with a discount that can be shared with friends.

While Instagram is now testing hidden like counts on its platform, Twitter instated a new deepfake policy. Facebook introduced Facebook Pay, a Preventive Health tool, a new app for its users to participate in research and surveys called Viewpoints, as well as a Canada-exclusive meme-making app by the name of Whale.
