× Recently I've been using a YouTube and a Snapchat.
✓ Recently I've been using YouTube and Snapchat.
Use of the indefinite article 'a' before proper nouns for app names is incorrect. App names like YouTube and Snapchat are uncountable brand names and should not take 'a'. Remove 'a' to make the sentence natural.
× I watch videos to learn about Isles band uh requirements and study techniques, and I follow Snapchat accounts that shake quick tips boss help me prepare and more thoroughly for the test.
✓ I watch videos to learn about IELTS band requirements and study techniques, and I follow Snapchat accounts that share quick tips to help me prepare more thoroughly for the test.
Multiple issues: incorrect noun 'Isles' should be 'IELTS' (proper noun), 'shake' is a wrong verb and should be 'share', and 'boss' is inappropriate; likely intended 'to'. Also 'more thoroughly' should follow 'help me prepare' with 'to'. The present simple is appropriate here for habitual actions.
× Mostly I just cannot using YouTube and Tiktok which allows me to make relaxations especially after my work day.
✓ Mostly I just use YouTube and TikTok, which allow me to relax, especially after my work day.
'Cannot using' is ungrammatical; replace with 'use'. 'Tiktok' should be 'TikTok'. The relative clause must agree in number: 'which allow' because two apps (YouTube and TikTok) are plural. 'Make relaxations' is unnatural; 'relax' is correct. Maintain present simple for habitual actions.
× I usually discover new apps throughout recommendations from my friends and family members as a personal understandments often highlight useful features, and I also browse App Store chats and read reviews to compare functionality and ratings before downloading.
✓ I usually discover new apps through recommendations from my friends and family, as personal recommendations often highlight useful features, and I also browse the App Store and read reviews to compare functionality and ratings before downloading.
Use 'through' not 'throughout' for means. 'Recommendations' fits better than 'understandments' (incorrect word); replace with 'personal recommendations'. 'Family members' can be shortened to 'family'. Use 'the App Store' (definite article) and 'browse the App Store' rather than 'App Store chats'. Sentence simplified for clarity and correct prepositions.
× Over the next future years, I'd like to probably use apps that can help me to prepare my speaking skills and probably prepare more deeply TOEFL exams.
✓ Over the next few years, I'd like to use apps that can help me prepare my speaking skills and prepare more thoroughly for the TOEFL exam.
'Next future years' is redundant; use 'next few years'. 'I'd like to probably use' is wordy and uncertain; 'I'd like to use' is clearer. 'Help me to prepare my speaking skills' should be 'help me prepare my speaking skills' (omit 'to'). 'Prepare more deeply TOEFL exams' is ungrammatical; use 'prepare more thoroughly for the TOEFL exam'. Use singular 'exam' or 'the TOEFL exams' depending on context; singular is more natural here.
