Selena Gomez is speaking about how her four years hiatus from social media has helped her mental health.

It may come as a surprise to her over 300 million Instagram followers, but Selena Gomez hasn’t used the app herself in over four years.

In a new interview with Good Morning America, the superstar spoke about her decision to step away from social media, and the internet itself, for four and a half years and what it’s done for her mental health.

“It has changed my life completely,” she said. “I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people. I understand how powerful the internet is, and in so many ways it’s done the best things for the world. But for me, I get to my news that is actually important I get through people in my life.”

For now, Gomez curates her posts and has a team behind her accounts, she shared. She told GMA that “growing up in the spotlight” taught her a lot growing up, and that she “took the necessary steps” to avoid the spotlight at times.

Gomez announced back in September 2018 that she was stepping back from social media. A month later, Gomez reportedly checked into a mental health treatment facility to address her depression and anxiety after she suffered an “emotional breakdown.”

In 2020, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer revealed that she had been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.
