“…The next step is to acquire an image (copy) of the device to preserve original evidence and recover relevant artifacts. To extract data from the device, researchers use one of the three acquisition methods: logical acquisition [19,21,42,64,65,67,69,170,171], full file system [46,64], or physical acquisition [32].…”

Social media applications have been ubiquitous in modern society, and their usage has grown exponentially over the years. With the widespread adoption of these platforms, social media has evolved into a significant origin of digital evidence in the domain of digital forensics. The increasing utilization of social media has caused an increase in the number of studies focusing on artifact (digital remnants of data) recovery from these platforms. As a result, we aim to present a comprehensive survey of the existing literature from the past 15 years on artifact recovery from social media applications in digital forensics. We analyze various approaches and techniques employed for artifact recovery, structuring our review on well-defined analysis focus categories, which are memory, disk, and network. By scrutinizing the available literature, we determine the trends and commonalities in existing research and further identify gaps in existing literature and areas of opportunity for future research in this field. The survey is expected to provide a valuable resource for academicians, digital forensics professionals, and researchers by enhancing their comprehension of the current state of the art in artifact recovery from social media applications. Additionally, it highlights the need for continued research to keep up with social media’s constantly evolving nature and its consequent impact on digital forensics.
