The Advancement of technology has changed the social and academic lives. It provides a facility for people to communicate anywhere at any time diversely such as electronic mail, instant messages and social networks. A use of social network is common among the students’ and also builds a distraction for students. It is crucial for researchers to get an attention to investigate the role of social network (Facebook) in academic areas where its influences on students’ live with various activities and involves them in a different process of channels. To determine the multitasking inversely affect health and academic performance while using Facebook with different activities i.e. sharing, posting, chatting and playing games with access of internet and use of different devices during class time and study time. This study investigates the impact of using Facebook on the academic performance of university students. We conducted Correlation analysis, and Regression analysis extracted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to examine the correlation between students using Facebook in the higher academic career. The results show Facebook with academic performance has a negative relationship and medium correlation with Multitasking has positive that Facebook is not the only factor to enhance multitasking but also enhance other activities of Facebook that can effect on students which mean there is relationship between multitasking and using Facebook where Health factor has low correlation and negative relationship might get the cause to indirectly affect the students’ academic performance.
