Selena Gomez has revealed she's deleted Instagram from her phone.

The singer who is one of the most followed people on the social media APP with over 152 million followers – says 'she's ditched the app for her mental health.'

Talking about the site the 26 - year  - old called it “dangerous” and “unhealthy”, particularly for young people who spend a lot of time on it.

In a bid to reduce its impact on her life, Selena has deleted the app from her mobile and uses someone else's phone if she wants to post something.

Speaking with US radio host Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa earlier this week, Selena said:

“It would make me depressed.

"It would make me feel not good about myself, and look at my body differently.

"I used to use it a lot but I think it's become really unhealthy for young people, including myself, to spend all of their time fixating on all of these comments and letting this stuff in.”

Speaking to the New York Times back in 2017, she said: “I delete the app from my phone at least once a week.

"It's like they [the trolls] want to cut to your soul.

"Imagine all the insecurities that you already feel about yourself and having someone write a paragraph pointing out every little thing - even if it's just physical.”
