All the chat apps are just a faster form of email, not fundamentally different from what my dad was doing on his computer in 1994. Social media can be browsed from a computer as well, so when a smartphone displays Instagram, it does a computer's job.
Do you have teen-age girls you interact with regularly? Tik-Tok is a form of performance art. We get short videos several times a week from our granddaughters. Their phone is just their studio camera, microphone and editor. Hitting upload is just assumed.
