Top 55 Social Media Trends in July

From TikTok Scrolling Controls to Link in Bio Tools

— July 24, 2022 — Social Media
These July 2022 social media updates feature new ways to engage virtual communities. From TikTok scrolling controls to link in bio tools, these ideas aim to make social media platforms more user-friendly. On the business side of social media, companies can now use GoDaddy's new bio-linking tool, providing brands with a simple solution for promoting their content via a built-in link in their profiles.

While social media scrolling is fun and highly entertaining, some users feel it takes up too much of their days. TikTok has opted for a solution to control screen time and curb endless scrolling. Dubbed the Screen Time Break, users can now control the amount of time spent in a single session on the app through the new locking feature. Social media platforms are increasingly bettering themselves to fit into the modern lifestyle.
