That's okay. Start by just removing the apps from your phone. Your account stays intact, but you break the habit loop. After 30 days without the app, you can decide if you want to go further.

Before You Delete Your Account

1. Delete the Apps First

Remove the apps from your phone before starting the deletion process. This breaks the habit and makes it harder to give in during the grace period.

2. Download Your Data

Every platform lets you export your photos, posts, and messages. Do this first—once deleted, it's gone forever.

3. Notify Your People

Get phone numbers and emails for people you actually want to stay in touch with. Real relationships don't need algorithms.

4. Expect Dark Patterns

They'll guilt trip you, show memories, email constantly. It's designed to make you stay. Recognize it for what it is.

Your Farewell Post

Make your exit count. Post this before you delete—it's your last chance to reach everyone and maybe inspire them to do the same.

The Quick Exit

Best for Stories/Threads

I'm out. ✌️ This app took enough of my time. Reach me: [your phone/email] If you're thinking about leaving too: signoff.social

The Explainer

Best for Feed Posts

This is my last post here. I've spent [X hours/years] on this app. That's time I'll never get back—time I could have spent on things that actually matter. The algorithm isn't designed to make me happy. It's designed to keep me scrolling. I'm done being the product. If you want to stay in touch: 📱 [your phone] ✉️ [your email] If you're feeling the same way I did, check out signoff.social — it helped me finally do this. See you in real life. ✌️

The Challenge

Maximum viral potential

I'm deleting this app. Here's why you should too: • The average user spends 2.5 hours/day here • That's 38 DAYS per year • The algorithm is designed to addict you • The people who built it don't let their kids use it I calculated how much time I've lost: signoff.social/calculate It was enough to make me quit. My contact info is in my bio. See you on the other side. Who's brave enough to join me? 👇

The 30-Day Break

For those not ready to fully delete

I'm taking a 30-day break from this app. Not deleting my account (yet). Just deleting the app. I want to see what life is like without the endless scroll. Without the algorithm deciding what I think about. Without the phantom phone checks. If you need me: [phone/email] If you want to try it too: signoff.social/remove See you in 30 days. Or maybe not. 👋

Copy, customize, post. Use their network against them one last time.
