The findings of the study shows that WhatsApp is the most frequently used soedcial media followed by Facebook, Twitter Instagram and other social media. The findings of this study shows that most reason which pushes students to use social media networks is talking to their friends on different issues rather than studying. This shows that most students like to chat rather than studying.
