This qualitative research uses an interview survey method and collects data by using references, journals, articles, and interview results, which include several questions about how the use of social media affects students' current lifestyle. This research shows that students spend more time on social media. Whatshapp, Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram are the most widely used social media. In general, smartphones are used to access social media for more than five hours every day.
