DELETE THE APPS

You don't have to delete your accounts today. Just get the apps off your phone. That's the hardest part—and the most important.

Why This Works

  • •The app is the addiction delivery system. Remove the delivery system.
  • •You can still check on a browser if you really need to. You just won't.
  • •No FOMO—your account still exists. Your followers are still there.
  • •After a week without the app, you'll wonder why you ever had it.

The Safety Net

This isn't about going cold turkey forever. It's about breaking the habit loop. Your account stays intact. Your data stays safe.

If after 30 days you desperately need Instagram back, you can reinstall it. But here's the thing: you probably won't want to.

THE 30-DAY CHALLENGE

Delete the apps. Just for 30 days. Mark which ones you've removed:

HOW TO DELETE APPS

iPhone

  1. 1.Press and hold the app icon until it jiggles
  2. 2.Tap "Remove App" or the minus sign
  3. 3.Select "Delete App" (not "Remove from Home Screen")
  4. 4.Confirm deletion

Pro tip: Also delete from your App Library and disable auto-download

Android

  1. 1.Press and hold the app icon
  2. 2.Drag to "Uninstall" or tap the info icon
  3. 3.Confirm uninstall

Pro tip: Go to Settings → Apps to fully uninstall system apps

WHAT TO EXPECT

Days 1-3

The Phantom Reach

You'll reach for your phone constantly. Your thumb will go to where the app used to be. This is withdrawal. It passes.

Days 4-14

The Quiet

The urge fades. You'll notice how much time you have. You might feel bored—that's okay. Boredom is where creativity lives.

Days 15-30

The Clarity

You'll wonder why you ever spent so much time scrolling. The thought of reinstalling will feel absurd.

Tell the World

Make your challenge public. Post it before you delete the apps—accountability helps, and you might inspire others to join you.
