Social Media World Records

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, China, was 13 when the HP Foundation's HP LIFE program presented his certificate of completion for Inventory Management, one of its free online business courses, on November 5, 2026. His screen recording shows the course marked completed on his HP LIFE dashboard, then the certificate itself in his name with its serial number. RecordSetter opened that serial on HP LIFE's own certificate page, which shows the same name, course and date, and took his age from the date of birth he supplied. Thirteen and already managing stock.

K Srivastava was added to a busy WhatsApp group on 23 August 2026 and did not open it for nine days. In the video, the chat opens on WhatsApp's own banner reading 17,111 unread messages, which ticks up to 17,112 as another message arrives mid-clip, directly below the notice marking the day K Srivastava joined. RecordSetter checked the count against that in-app counter, and this record's rules allow messages from a group chat. Message text and members' details are pixelated in the video to protect the group's privacy.

Nico Tous runs Hisy, a Spanish-language Minecraft channel, and its 52-second Short "¿Puedes Hacer Esto?", Spanish for "can you do this," went up on April 15, 2025. In a YouTube Studio screen recording made on September 27, 2026, he opens the Short's analytics and steps through the subscriber chart as it climbs past a million and levels off at 1,026,703, which is YouTube's own count of net subscribers gained from that one video. RecordSetter matched the channel and the 27.8 million views shown in Studio against the public Short. Under a minute of Minecraft, over a million new subscribers.

Dennis Jarvis of Lashmeet, West Virginia, and Angie Short of Rutledge, Tennessee, traded 5,900 consecutive Facebook pokes in spring 2026. The pair kept a running count in their Messenger chat, calling out each milestone from 200 on March 21 to 5,900 on May 20. The video steps through those dated milestone messages.

Abdul Rehman of Karachi, Pakistan, opened the Profile pictures album on his own Facebook account, where Facebook's counter reads 1,855 items. His three-and-a-half-minute screen recording then scrolls through the album, a wall of selfies, portraits, flags, calligraphy and slogans, before returning to the same 1,855 count at the top. The result comes straight from Facebook's own album total. That is a lot of first impressions.
