Objective: to report the experience of using social media to promote health actions in older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: this is an experience report of the extension project entitled "Grandma and grandpa wired: connected to the Internet toward quality of life", carried out from April to December 2020, mediated by synchronous and asynchronous interactions, using digital tools and discussed in light of the Active Aging Policy and the Decade of Healthy Aging. Results: the virtual approaches were based on the information and the fight against fake news about Covid-19; emotional support; health promotion; and the use of technology. Conclusion: it was evidenced that the guided use of social media by older adults contributes effectively to the maintenance of social relationships and health promotion in the perspective of healthy aging, even during a health crisis of global repercussion.
