Social media is a big hook for millions but even then, many couldn’t wait to delete some of the popular social media apps in 2023 as per an industry report. The Most Wanted to be Deleted is basically a list which looks at the apps that people wanted to delete and were searching for details on the internet to make it happen.
These apps vary based on their features and purpose. You have Instagram and Snapchat that let you share updates with friends and other people, while you have TikTok and Reels that host user-generated content for public viewing. Then, you can’t ignore the impact of WhatsApp and X (formerly Twitter) that have their own following.
Existence of these apps means tech companies are forced to bring tools like screen time that limits their time on these apps. But which of these apps were most popular but at the same time make it to the list of wanted to be deleted, the details provided by TRG Data Centers gives us the answer, which will most definitely shock you.
The Most Wanted To Be Deleted App Of 2023 Goes To
Instagram was the app that millions wanted to delete from their smartphone in 2023. That’s right, as shocking as it may sound, the Meta-owned app was a hot topic on the internet, purely because people were searching for how to delete their Instagram account. The report points out that an average of 1 million people searched for steps to delete Instagram that comes to over 12,000 searches.
Latest data suggests Instagram caters to 2.4 billion active monthly users, so it is unlikely that search results convert to actual deletion from users. Either way, Instagram has evolved to offer photo hosting, video creation via Reels and even messaging. The fact that millions are looking to leave the platform suggests these additions aren’t being liked by everyone.
Other Apps That People Wanted To Delete In 2023
The second most ‘to be deleted’ app from the report is Snapchat. The platform had 130,000 searches from users who wanted to delete their Snapchat account. Besides these two other social media apps making the top 5 are Twitter (now called X), Telegram and Facebook. This report seems to suggest that millions are looking to delete their social media accounts but that’s not the case with all of them. WhatsApp, YouTube and TikTok are the apps that got the least number of ways to delete searches on the internet this year.
