However, the Tapswap frenzy has also raised concerns among health professionals about the potential for excessive screen time and its associated risks.  

The Tapswap craze shows no signs of slowing down, with more Nigerians joining the frenzy every day. As the app continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how it shapes the digital landscape in Nigeria and beyond.
