FaceTime is one of the most commonly-used apps. iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac allow seniors to video chat over FaceTime. Check in on your granddaughter\u2019s first day of school or Group FaceTime for larger gatherings like holidays. Other apps and online platforms that will help you stay connected include:<\/p><ul><li>Zoom<\/li><li>Skype<\/li><li>Marco Polo<\/li><li>Google Hangouts<\/li><li>Google Duo<\/li><\/ul><h2>Stay Connected Through Social Media<\/h2><p>One of the simplest ways to share the joys of day-to-day life is through social media. Facebook is the most popular social media platform, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2021\/06\/01\/facts-about-americans-and-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">69 percent of Americans<\/a> utilizing its services. According to the Pew Research Center, the number of seniors on Facebook increased by 11 percent from 2018 to 2019. The research group attributes this popularity to the platform&#8217;s versatility and ease of use. You can chat, expand your social network by adding new friends, and share photos and videos. Other social media platforms to consider include:<\/p><ul><li>Instagram<\/li><li>Nextdoor<\/li><li>ThirdAGE<\/li><\/ul><h2>Schedule a Virtual Game Night<\/h2><p>Playing board games with friends and family may be one of your best memories of childhood, and the fun doesn\u2019t have to stop if you are separated by distance.
