It is becoming more well recognised that the promotion of certain body images in traditional media may have negative effects, especially those on mental health conditions like depression.

Social media is distinctive because it enables users to showcase their most appealing photographs while deleting those they deem undesirable. Peers, who have a significant impact on a person's body image, are frequently seen in this setting. According to studies, both young men and women who use social media have anxieties about their bodies.
