<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this article, we explored the fractional order mathematical modelling of social media addiction. For the fractional order model of social media addiction, the free equilibrium point <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ E_{0} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, endemic equilibrium point <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ E_{*} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, and basic reproduction number <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ R_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> have been found. We discussed the stability analysis of the order model of social media addiction through the next generation matrix and fractional Routh-Hurwitz criterion. We also explained the fractional order mathematical modelling of social media addiction by applying a highly reliable and efficient scheme known as q-Homotopy Analysis Sumudu Transformation Method (q-HASTM). This technique q-HASTM is the hybrid scheme based on q-HAM and Sumudu transform technique. In the end, the numerical simulation of the fractional order model of social media addiction is also explained by using the generalized Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method.</p>
