pickerInput showing numeric values instead of characters

Here is my dummy dataframe and variable social which hosts the unique texts to be populated in pickerInput in global.R
social_media <- c("Facebook","Instagram","YouTube","Snapchat","Twitter")
founder <- c("PersonA","PersonB","PersonC","personD","personE")
hits <- c(23,56,76,33,12)
DF <- data.frame(social_media, founder, hits)
social <- unique(DF$social_media)
in app.R, I have implemented pickerInput as follows:
library(shinyWidgets)
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
titlePanel("pickerInput"),
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
pickerInput("social","social media", choices = social, multiple = FALSE, options = list(deselectAllText = TRUE,actionsBox=TRUE))
)
,
mainPanel()
))
server <- function(input, output)
shinyApp(ui, server)
When I run the app, the list shows only values and not the texts. What could I be missing or not doing so as the choices appear?
r shiny

Try this line of codesocial <- as.character(unique(DF$social_media))

Your variable social is of type factor. That´s why pickerInput() displays numerical output.
If you avoid creating factor:
DF <- data.frame(social_media, founder, hits, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
it will display the choices as characters.
