Abstract

An increasing number of people are using mobile devices to access social media because of the quick development of both social media and mobile technology. User satisfaction with mobile applications or social networking services is the main topic of current study. Perceived benefits, including perceived utility and enjoyment, are significant predicators of users' general satisfaction with mobile applications. Compared to regular mobile applications, mobile social apps differ in that users' strong social ties and influence can have an impact on how satisfied they are with the product.The variables impacting users' satisfaction with mobile social apps have not been the subject of many studies.Using the ideas of network externalities and herd behavior, we developed an integrative research model on user satisfaction with mobile social apps in this study. By polling users of a widely used mobile device.WeChat, a mobile social app, we statistically demonstrate that users' perceived gains from the service are significantly influenced by network externalities and herd behavior. Additionally, we discover the strong mediating roles that perceived advantages play in the relationships between user happiness and herd behavior as well as network externalities and user externalities. Both mobile social app developers and marketers, as well as consumers, can benefit from our findings.
