They keep making social media apps more difficult to delete and get rid of.

For Snapchat not only do you have to wait 30 days to delete your account.

Now if you reactivate your account you have to wait 3 more days to even delete your account again.

You didn't have to wait 3 days to delete your account if you reactivated it but now they have added this which is just another way to make it more difficult to delete social media.

They just keep making these apps harder and harder to delete and stay off of.

At least you have to have true determination to delete them. It gets that authentic desire out of you. It's not that bad if you're really set on it.

I deleted my instagram account 2 months ago after waiting 30 days. I didn't care because I was sure that was the right call, and still am.

Earlier this year I deleted my Steam account after 8 years, after having to wait 30 days as well. With costly games, hundreds of hours played, rare items, etc.. Don't regret nothing.

It's good that you can't entirely delete your account on a whim because you might really regret it later. So forcing you to wait weeks to mull over your decision is quite wise in my opinion.

I deleted my Facebook in 2013. Only WhatsApp, text, mail. Should be enough if people want to contact me.

You really know who your friends are when you have no social media anymore. No surprise, shockingly little and that was over 10 years ago, probably now it's even worse.
