The 2026 World Happiness Report has indicated that increased use of social media may be associated with lower levels of life satisfaction among individuals.
The report noted that people who are more inclined to use social media platforms tend to report reduced happiness and overall well-being.
The World Happiness Report is released annually to mark the International Day of Happiness, celebrated on March 20.
It ranks countries based on citizens’ self-assessment of their quality of life and general well-being.
