Comment:

 > Currently the WordPress user profile edit page contains fields for
 Website, AIM, Facebook User UR, Google Talk, Instagram URL, LinkedIn
 profile URL, MySpace profile URL, Pinterest profile URL, SoundCloud
 profile URL, Tumblr profile URL, Twitter @username, Wikipedia page, Yahoo
 Messenger, and YouTube Channel URL. It does not yet contain 3 of the
 newest and fastest growing social media platforms online.

 The only fields that WordPress core adds are `Website, AIM, Yahoo, Jabber`
 and only for really old WordPress installs (and that is to be removed in
 #44374). A fresh install will only have `Website`.

 All of the other fields which you've referenced are being added by a
 plugin, most likely [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-
 seo/blob/0031b1b85c60d127dcd458cbd89a54d3099c9afe/admin/class-
 admin.php#L311-L325 Yoast SEO], but there are a number of other plugins
 which offer this functionality.

 WordPress Core isn't going to add more recent social platforms to the user
 profile, leaving that for plugins.
