This study aims to explore the effects of social media on academic achievement. A descriptive methodology was employed, using a sample of 60 students. The results indicated that these platforms assist students in dialogue and discussion, facilitate communication with peers, and aid in reviewing daily lessons. However, it was observed that social media can negatively impact students' focus during study sessions. The findings also confirmed that there are no statistically significant differences in the impact of social media on academic achievement among University students based on gender. The study recommends conducting further research in diverse communities to better understand the effects of this phenomenon.
