New Delhi | Jagran Technology Desk: Socializing is important, and no matter how much people criticise this generation for being hooked to their smartphones all the time, it is nearly impossible to survive even a day without technology now. Owing to this, a day has been dedicated to social media on June 30, which is observed as World Social Media Day 2021 globally. 

As the day is here, we bring you the top 5 Indian social media apps which we can proudly use in our own languages too. Here, take a look:

Hike

Hike is one of the most successful social media apps of India. This is a chatting platform and is similar to WhatsApp. This app was launched in 2012 and is well-known for its user interface. Hike is also loved by Indians for its quirky stickers which add the desi element in chatting.

Koo

Koo is India's own version of microblogging site, Twitter. Here, you can talk, express your views and share audios and videos like Twitter. This app also gives you a facility of using Indian languages.  

Friends

When TikTok was banned, it gave birth to many new apps and Friends was one of them. This Indian app lets you create content in form of videos from any corner of the world. Created by Mrityunjay Patil and his aced team of professionals, this app can work as proud desi replacement of TikTok.

Share Chat

In this app you can form or be a part of various groups like PubG Gang, environmental groups, English speaking and many more. You may even create video content like TikTok here as well. This app too provides 15 Indian languages to choose from.

Mitron

Another alternative to Tiktok, this app lets the users create video content with filters and different features. Apps like these flooded the market when the Indian government decided to ban many Chinese apps like TikTok.
