President Obama has a stellar social media presence. From his mic drop videos to his appearances on Jimmy Kimmel, Barack Obama knows how to stay cool with millennials.
The White House also doesn't fail to remind us that he is, indeed, a social media president.
Among the many social media firsts credited to him the ones that stand out are that he's the first to have @POTUS on Twitter, the first to go live on Facebook from the Oval Office, the first to answer questions from citizens on YouTube, and the first to use a filter on Snapchat.
The President of the United States, First Lady, the White House. all have their own Twitter accounts. Fun fact: It passes on to the next President as soon as he assumes power.
If you're a fan of President Obama's @POTUS Twitter account, don't worry - he isn't going to go completely offline.
Obama's official @POTUS account will be taken over by the next president Donald Trump on January 20, 2017, even as Obama's tweets will move over to a new handle, @POTUS44.
According to the White House website, the account will retain its more than 11 million followers, but start with no tweets on the timeline.
All of Obama's tweets will also be archived by the National Archives and Records Administration and easily available for reference by the public.
The White House is also looking at newer ways to ensure all this data is preserved.
So, President-elect Trump need not worry. He'll still have all the followers on social media handles and be able to start afresh without any previous tweets.
