This study is a literature review that aims to synthesize and explore the impact of social media usage on learners’ achievement (students and university students). This literature review analyses various studies and research articles that examine the relationship between social media usage and students’ academic performance. The research method used is qualitative with a literature review technique. Journal searches were conducted on Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, covering 2015-2022. Screening and selection of studies resulted in 122 articles, with a final set of 13. The collected data was analyzed using literature review techniques according to predefined categories in the PRISMA diagram. The findings of the study indicate that there are both positive and negative impacts of social media usage on student achievement. Positive impacts include easier access to learning resources, collaborative opportunities, and improved student communication. However, there are also negative impacts, such as distraction, decreased focus, and reduced study time. This study concludes that social media usage has a significant impact on student achievement, but excessive usage can disrupt study concentration and lead to a decline in student performance.
