That time she finished up promoting her album: That being said, her or her team kept her feed alive during the “break.”

In an interview on Good Morning America in April 2022, she maintained she didn’t go on the internet for “ four and a half years.” She probably meant three and a half, considering it had only been three and a half years since her Instagram announcement. Gomez claims the break lasted far longer than that. She posted on Instagram January 14, 2019, to wish fans a happy new year. How long did she last? One hundred and 13 days. “Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I’d see on Instagram. I didn’t need to see what everyone was doing,” she said. “And the unnecessary hate and comparisons went away once I put my phone down.” In an interview with Fast Company in 2023, she recalled her split with Bieber and her subsequent IG detox. “I created a system where I still don’t have my passwords,” she revealed to InStyle. Obvi.” By January 2022, she was still keeping her social media under lock and key. “Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings. Reason: Her final breakup with Justin Bieber. That time she was really susceptible to toxicity:

What we do know is that she posted 19 times in March 2016, when she surpassed bestie Taylor Swift to officially become the most followed person. How long did she last? With this specific announcement, it’s unclear if she went cold turkey or if she was only using Instagram sparingly. Which is why I’m kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit.” I always end up feeling like shit when I look at Instagram. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about. It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to. “I sort of freaked out,” Gomez told Vogue in a March 2017 cover story. Reason: Becoming the most followed person on Instagram. That time she put her mental health first: Hasn’t the Selena + Chef host done this before? And how long have her breaks lasted? Naturally, we had to cook up a list. “I’m off social for a while,” she wrote in her most recent “Goodbye to All That.” “I’m focusing on what really matters.” Hours later, she logged back on, denying the rumors that Timothée Chalamet allegedly dissed her at the awards ceremony in a comment on an E! News Instagram post.

We say probably because it’s impossible to identify just how often she leaves, considering the ephemerality of Instagram stories and the speed at which she returns. It’s probably the seventh time Gomez vowed to give up the internet, only to find herself unable to escape the temptation of posting. The Instagram break felt shorter than Jo Koy’s opening monologue. Her latest departure came on January 9, after the Only Murders in the Building star became the target of gossip at the Golden Globes two days prior. Throughout the past eight years or so, Selena Gomez politely declined to engage in social media on multiple occasions. Photo: Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for Rare Beauty
