Deleted mine about a year ago. Thought I’d miss out on things after deleting it, but the only thing I was missing out on was focusing on my own life more.

[@HenWangOfficial]

Exactly!

[@lancearchibald6499]

I notice the uptight feeling when I’m looking at Snapchat and then I look at all the people leaving me on delivered or open and it makes me feel like shit so I search for maybe old people I haven’t snapped in a while. I am going to delete it tomorrow. Sick of it

[@HenWangOfficial]

Absolutely. It's tiresome to keep up with. Let me know how it goes!

[@fahmimaulana7255]

how it goes?

[@lance_auto]

Deleted it yesterday. I realized almost nothing good had everrrr come out of it. I’m already feeling better and hope to spark some new friendships in the near future without any need for snapchat to be in the way.

Your voice is very calming!!!! Loved the style of your video, keep up the good work 💘 greetings from germanyyyyy

[@visionhustlefreedom]

Great video! I deleted it a few weeks ago and I am experiencing the same types of feelings. I miss it a little, but I'm glad that I deleted it. I know it's only going to be a bigger and bigger positive as time goes on

ive been seriously debatin deleting snap. i get so caught up looking at crushes snapscore and its just soo demoralizing seeing them "ignoring" me

[@HenWangOfficial]

you should. it's worth it even if it feels weird at first

[@TL0857]

same bro i do that everyday so ima js delete it

[@kiraxo3]

i hadn’t been on snap as much because i’ve been trying to focus on my mental health and enjoying life without it, as i’ve been spending time with my friends people would get mad at me or text me complaining about how the streak ended, like okay? there’s more to life than a stupid streak number so what if we lost our 148 day streak, i used to be consistent with sending them back but ive been focusing on other things. somebody will be going through a midlife crisis or having a mental breakdown and you’re worried about a snapchat streak you don’t get paid for? it’s crazy

[@HenWangOfficial]

That's awesome man. You're right-spending time with your friends is much more valuable than those streaks haha.

[@JR-xt4nk]

I’m going through a hard time right now as im being attacked by the rumor machine. I’ve always had my social apps muted so I couldn’t get notifications. I’ve been lowkey addicted to social media for a long time and I’m hoping by making this change I’ll be able to focus on myself and live life authentically. I’m ready to start a new page in my life.

[@HenWangOfficial]

You got this!

[@Rosa-xu7qy]

Ive been thinking of deleting for a while now,i overthink so much when on delivered and opened and it really messes with my mind and my mental health has been really bad for months so i think deleting snapchat will maybe help.But i feel guilty that im going to delete it and i dont know why i feel guilty.

[@HenWangOfficial]

Go for it and see how it goes! It may actually ease your mind after a while and help you connect with the people who you are close with and not just on the app.

[@valteraa]

I honestly I kept it cause of female but I’m not pursuing anymore and on top of that 27 years old . I need get rid of it

[@Antmanprodzz]

Thank you so much you have helped me ❤

[@ziadeliwagd]

Great video definetly needed it! You have a really good voice

[@liamstewart7303]

I'm sort of at that stage where I’m tired of Snapchat. I just have it hard losing the ability to talk to someone instantly. How do I get over this addiction?

[@HenWangOfficial]

I asked my friends to text me and then deleted snap. It sucks for a week but after that it gets better

[@user-sl6rc6py2v]

Deleted mine since 2019

[@AndThenShlack]

great video

[@antosciecierski]

How long do you have to have Snapchat before it generally becomes "addictive"? I've had it for a month and I'm a bit concerned now (even if I don't use it often)

[@HenWangOfficial]

If you use Snap mindlessly and find yourself checking it when you're bored, I'd consider that an addiction. But if you use it with intention and to check up on your friends in a non-superficial way, it can be a nice thing to have. For me, I just avoid using it altogether so I don't get carried away.

[@careforjusticealways]

the app is a little pointless, i’m deleting it, it’s gonna suck but I know it’s important

[@HenWangOfficial]

Let me know how it goes! It's always hard at first, but It's absolutely worth it-like making space in your head for other things in life.

[@BEACHDUDE71]

[@WCameraMan]
