Authors : Bensoula Noureddine .

Abstract

Recent reports and statistics have confirmed a significant development in the use of mobile phones and smart apps, jumping from 03.16 billion in 2016 to 06.5 billion in 2022 and projected to reach 08 billion in 2028 )Taylor, P, 2023). In this study, we look for the use of smart applications by university students in Algeria and recognize the variables that drive their relationship with this technology, like the role of gender variables, age, social status, and occupational status, as well as the range of applications consumed by this category such as recreational applications, social, educational, news, and religious. Our study relied on the analytical descriptive curriculum and interview tool distributed to 340 individuals from the Camp University of Algeria. The most important findings of the study were that the use of smart apps was almost complete. and emphasized the role of individual variables in the choice of applications. Each social group seeks to satisfy its psychological and social needs through these means.
