A 5-day level 4 lockdown starting 11:59pm tonight. There goes my Valentines and Chinese New Year plans.

(Level 4 lockdown: No leaving the house unless it’s essential and even then no travel further than 5km)

Deleting WhatsApp was reasonably easy, deleting Instagram was more challenging.
I really liked IG and was utterly gutted when I first heard FB had purchased them.
I’ve continued using IG for a very long time since then but decided it’s time to delete that app as well.

After seeing WhatsApp in-app notification today, I messaged my friends telling them that I would be deleting the app.

I’m sad to report that I’ve received a lot of pushback, ranging from: “it’s too late to keep things from the Zuck” to, “it’s too hard to move to another app.”
