Social media applications are the most dynamic field right now. They are constantly changing their features based on user behaviors.

By Milap ChavdaPublished 3 years ago 5 min read

A social media app should have certain features that make it stand out from the crowd. While every traveler has their preferences, there are certain features that most people look for in their apps. Here are some of the top features that travelers want to see when using a social media app.

Share photos and videos

The ability to share photos and videos with friends and family is one of the most important features of a social media app for travelers. It’s also very important that you can share them with fellow travelers, your digital assistant or guide, the world at large, or even the media if you have an amazing experience.

Live-streaming

It is the most popular type of content on social media. It’s also the fastest growing on social media, with an average of 80 million hours watched daily. Live streaming has multiple uses within your business and increased traffic can be achieved in a variety of ways.

Real-time stories are a great way to use live streaming through storytelling. People love stories and they don’t necessarily want to read them or hear them—they need to be able to see what you are talking about for it to resonate with them in a meaningful way.

You could use this form of storytelling for a product review, a behind-the-scenes look at something you are working on, or just about anything else that will help tell your brand story effectively.

Connect with fellow travelers

The ability to connect with fellow travelers is one of the most important features of a social media app for travelers. As you know, traveling is an individual activity, but it can still be lonely. You want to meet people who are going through the same experiences as you, at least on some level. You want to get advice and tips from other people who have been there before and learned from their mistakes (or success).

The second most important feature of this type of app is planning trips, which can be done by using a variety of methods: posting pictures, sharing stories or articles about your favorite places (or least favorite), sharing photos from your trip, and so on.

Travel groups are another popular feature where users can meet each other through common interests related to travel (e.g., hiking or scuba diving). These groups usually have several moderators whose job is to keep things organized and fun for all members involved.

Meet new people

If you are someone who loves to meet new people, then this feature is for you. You can use this app to make new friends and even find travel buddies. This is a great way to explore the world together, in a group of people that have similar interests!

In addition, it's also possible to share your travel experiences with other people through this app. Through this feature, users can ask questions about anything related to traveling (e.g., how do I get there?) or receive advice and recommendations from other users (e.g., where should I stay?).

If you love sharing stories about your travels then our social media app is the perfect place for that! You can share photos of yourself at different destinations around the world, write posts about your adventures abroad or ask questions that will help others plan their next trip abroad as well (#OOTD: Outfit Of The Day).

Create travel groups

Creating a group of people to travel together is one of the most useful features of a social media app for travelers. In this way, you can share photos and videos with a group and talk about trip experiences, tips, and tricks.

A social media app is a great way to connect with other travelers before your trip so you can plan on meeting up during your travels. Sharing your itinerary is another good idea that helps other people know what kind of things are going on in their city or country.

Organize events

One of the best things about this app is the ability to organize events. You can organize events for fellow travelers, you can organize events for local people, and you can even organize events for your travel group (if you're in one).

This app also makes it easy to create an event in a private or public location. This way if you want to hang out with your friends and meet some new ones, all you have to do is post about it on social media!

The best part? You don't need any specific equipment or skills—just download the app, search through its directory of activities, then pick one!

Direct messaging or a digital assistant or guide

  • Chat with friends & family
  • Connect with a virtual assistant
  • Communities to find people who share your interests. (to make friends and plan trips together)
  • Geolocation sharing

    Location features are a great way for travelers to connect with each other and make the most of their time abroad. If you're traveling alone, location features can help you find new friends in your destination city. If you're traveling with a partner or group, they can help you find local businesses, restaurants, and events that cater to your interests.

    When using location-based apps during your travels, it's important to keep personal safety in mind at all times. Ensure that no sensitive information like credit card numbers or addresses is shared on these platforms—this includes taking down Facebook profile pictures before posting them publicly!

    Most sought-after features in social media apps for travelers

    The most important thing to look for in a social media app for travelers is the ability to share photos and videos. It’s also nice if they can connect you with other travelers and help you meet new people. If it allows you to plan trips, then that’s even better!

    The other features are also great because they allow more opportunities for connecting with friends who live locally or have recently traveled there, as well as meeting up with local hosts. And finally, there should be an easy way for users to organize events so that everyone knows what's going on at any given moment.

    If possible, make sure the app has a secure messaging system so that users feel comfortable sharing their info without fear of hackers stealing it.
