News feed: This feature displays a list of posts from the users that a user follows. The posts can be sorted by date, popularity, or other criteria. This feature can also include the ability to like, comment, and share posts.

Messaging: This feature allows users to send and receive private messages with other users. The messages can be text, images, or videos. This feature can also include the ability to create group chats.

Notifications: This feature alerts users of new activity on their accounts, such as new followers, likes, comments, or messages. Notifications can be displayed on the website, in the app, or sent via email or push notifications.

Search: This feature allows users to search for other users, posts, or hashtags. The search results can be displayed in real-time as the user types, and can be filtered by different criteria.

Hashtags: This feature allows users to add hashtags to their posts to make them more discoverable. Users can also click on hashtags to view other posts with the same hashtag.

Integration with third-party APIs: This feature allows users to sign up or log in using their social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google. It can also include the ability to share posts on other social media platforms.

Real-time updates: This feature allows users to receive updates in real-time without having to refresh the page. This can be achieved using WebSockets or server-sent events.
