As of today, social media addiction was an ever-growing problem in the 21st century. In addition, there has been limited research on social media during or after a Movement Controlled Order (MCO) in Malaysia. In general, young people prefer to use social media more than older people (Ortiz-Ospina, 2019).
However, there had been a study that said students would easily get addicted to social media. As a result, it was critical to understand the origins, effects, and treatments of social media addiction.

As the times changed, the application trends of social media would vary for different market needs. The above information can show that social media has not only had a negative impact on the students of Malaysian universities and colleges. In fact, social media has still had certain benefits and good influences on the academic performance and life of Malaysian university and college students.
