Selena had decided to take a break from social media to preserve her mental health in 2018. Now three years since, she opened up about what inspired her to part with the apps and how her decision impacted her life.

Stating that she doesn’t have any apps on her phone now, Selena said she texts her assistant with content and captions she wants shared online. She even claims her new relationship with social media has proven to work out for the better.

“I say that because that’s a huge, significant part of why I feel like I’ve been as healthy as I have been,” she said. “I’m completely unaware of actually what’s going on in pop culture, and that makes me really happy. And maybe that doesn’t make everybody else happy, but for me, it’s really saved my life.”

The Only Murders in the Building star said that she “snapped” and almost deleted her Instagram account when she was the third-most followed person on the platform.

“I was just, like, This is too much of my personal life spread out everywhere, and it just felt uncontrollable,” she added. “I just thought, ‘I don’t get anything from it. Nothing is giving me life.’ I wanted to delete it altogether, but my team was smart enough to convince me not to.”
