There are the likes of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and WhatsApp, just to mention a few, which generate millions of traffic monthly.

Importance of Social Media Networks and Examples
Social media networks have become an integral part of our lives. They are used for personal, professional, educational, and marketing purposes. People use them for different purposes, like sharing their thoughts, expressing their emotions, or promoting their product/service.
In a social media network, users can share content, which includes text, images, and videos. The content can be in the form of updates from people’s lives, essays, or reports on an event.
Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly known as Twitter) have been used to share images and status updates about important events like the deaths of celebrities or world leaders.
People also use social media networks to communicate and share ideas.
Advertisers use social media networks to target their advertisements based on the interests of the users on those networks.

The platform has been downloaded over 10,000 times on the Google Play Store and garnered over 700 reviews, which are full of positive remarks from users encouraging people to give it a try.
The social media platform was officially released to the public in 2022 by a young Ghanaian guy named Acheampong Israel. This app was launched in Ashtown, Kumasi.
According to Israel, what is most unique about his platform is that users are able to share posts on other social media platforms they already use without leaving the Stayplain application.
According to the brilliant app developer, it has been his dream to achieve the feat for years, since he was still a student.
When I was at the University (UDS Wa campus) in the year 2015, I planned to develop a local social media application. So, by God’s grace, I started working on it until December 2021, when the dream came to pass. In this local social media app, we have a new feature that allows users to post content on any of these platforms at once. With Stayplain, you can connect with your loved ones in a whole new way! Our app lets you share text messages, pictures, videos, audio, polls, and more all within one platform. We developed this app to connect all tertiary students in Africa, especially Ghana, together to share ideas, make connections ………
The brilliant app developer makes a passionate call on Ghanaians, especially to rally behind him and use their own social media platform designed by a Ghanaian youth.
