“…Furthermore, some studies have recommended the minimization of the sequence of actions required on SNS by providing simple features [2,42,46]. For example, Ting-Yi et al [46] redesigned the Facebook interface by removing minor functionalities and limiting interface functionalities to only include interactive functions such as online chatting and communication. Their experiment showed that the redesigned interface was preferred over the original Facebook interface by older adult users [46].…”

Their experiment showed that the redesigned interface was preferred over the original Facebook interface by older adult users [46]. Further, Arfaa et al [2] found that older adults encountered scrolling issues when more than one feature, such as "Find Friends" was available on the top and left side navigation.…”

“…(Note: In this systematic review, we did not impose a particular definition of older adult but included all studies reporting on 'older adults'). Hence, an individual might be considered an older adult if aged 55 and older [8,46], or 60 and older [11,13,27,32,34,39,48], or 63 and older [19], or 65 and older [2,3,7,20,21,26,28], or 71 to 92 [25]. As a result of the reporting differences across studies, the explored research findings correspond to different age groups.…”

Social networking site (SNS) inaccessibility remains a barrier for many older adults. Increasingly, research has sought to address these shortcomings with recommendations for design. However, commercial uptake of these findings remains limited, in part, due to the scattering of recommendations across publications, heterogeneity in the SNS systems and features examined, and a lack of sensitivity within the existing guidelines to the heterogeneity of the target demographic. To counter these challenges, we conducted a systematic review following a thematic synthesis approach of 25 empirical studies on SNS design recommendations for older adults. From these, we synthesized a cohesive set of ten distinct design recommendations. These include ensuring an easy-to-use interface, improving social connection features, ensuring personal privacy, and introducing customized features and personalized content. In synthesizing the results, particular care was taken to capture the ways in which population diversity moderates recommendations. The results of this review can serve as a resource for designers and practitioners working on inclusive SNS for older adults. They also highlight the need for additional research into understanding user diversity in relation to SNS accessibility.
