Social Media App Design Tips

Expert advice for designing a great social media app

Content Is the Interface

In social apps, user content IS the design. Minimize chrome and navigation. Let photos, videos, and text fill the screen. The UI should be invisible when scrolling.

Design for Thumb Reach

Core actions (like, comment, share) must be within easy thumb reach on large phones. Bottom navigation is essential. Avoid critical interactions in the top 20% of the screen.

Engagement Loops

Design for notification → action → reward loops. Red badge on notifications, smooth pull-to-refresh, satisfying like animations. These micro-interactions drive retention.
