No there is not. Why do you think your app needs to know this? Whatever you're trying to do can probably be achieved another way. I can think of no scenario where knowing what apps are present can benefit your app. Twitter/Facebook links will go to the appropriate website if no app is installed. – pumpkinszwan Dec 25 '14 at 06:39

Sorry but there isn't a way to know what other apps are installed on Windows Phone 8.1 and below. I have asked this question to Microsoft as I have a similar need. I have asked to have it included in next release of the OS.
I'm curious, why do you need to know if Facebook or Twitter are available?
