Social media apps that consume the most data
Just 30 minutes on Facebook can cost you 175MB of data, MyBroadband found in a recent comparison of the data usage of five popular social media applications including Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
Among the five top social media applications that MyBroadband tested, Facebook was the biggest data hog, while Twitter had the most efficient data usage — consuming 38MB during a half-hour session.
Our comparison was conducted in the iPhone apps of the social networks and consisted of scrolling through each application’s feed, reading posts, opening images, and watching short stints of videos. For LinkedIn we did various job searches.
