<![CDATA[Social media has now become a part of the daily lives of elementary school students, including students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). The presence of social media has a significant influence on children's social interaction patterns, both in terms of how to communicate, build friendships, and in the formation of social character. This study aims to examine the influence of social media on the social interaction patterns of students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) by using a literature review from relevant studies in Indonesia in the last five years. The results of the study show that social media has a positive impact in the form of improving digital skills, expanding friendship networks, and facilitating communication between students, teachers, and parents. However, social media also has a negative impact, such as a decrease in the intensity of face-to-face communication, the emergence of individualism tendencies, and the potential for digital addiction. Thus, it is necessary to assist parents and teachers in the use of social media so that the benefits are more dominant than the negative impacts.]]>
