This data reveals which places in Scotland can’t get enough social media and the most popular apps in each area over the last year. Despite being one of the biggest social networks, Facebook didn’t appear as a top search for any area. Rather, apps such as TikTok, Instagram, and WhatsApp had the highest interest on Google search.”
