The Amazing Stuff

Would you like to know if people are unfriending you on Facebook as it happens? I’m not convinced it’d do much for my ego, but it seems like there is a real market for it as people strive to be popular on social media. Tapping into this market is a new app, Who Deleted Me, which gives you all the bad news from your Facebook account the moment it happens.

Now available on Android, as well as a plugin for Chrome and Firefox browsers, it instantly reveals a list of contacts who have unfriended you every time you log in to Facebook. Liking the sound of all this so far?

Sadly you won’t be able to see who has unfriended you pre-installation, but once the app is in your possession you can see exactly which so-called ‘friends’ have cut you loose. Even that guy who you used to like but hasn’t replied to any of your message for weeks…

Shit, this could get awkward.

“Social media can make it easy to feel like everyone else is awesome and perfect all the time, but that’s really never true,” Goff wrote on Facebook. “Part of the solution, I think, is more people opting to take a moment here and there to be real and show what’s behind the smoke and mirrors, because it’s relevant for y’all to know that this isn’t reality.”

To prove that, this hairdresser posted her two selfies taken just days apart

“We should keep in mind that behind every pretty face or perfect lifestyle is a regular person”

“There’s really no point in comparing amongst ourselves because this is all cultivated”

“I think of all the young… girls, who are influenced by media in this way, and I think about how badly I know I’d feel if I were a teen today, trying to cope with ever more perfect females all over the place”
