I found the same thing work the best for me, but not always.
Deleted Facebook 2 years ago, Instagram 1 year ago. The only social media account I have today is on Twitter and I am thinking about deleting that one.

It is true that you can feel a bit isolated from everyone, but it pushes you to go out with people and ask them what have they been up to, send them a message etc. I find the time spent on that much more valuable than the time spent on social media. While it is true that you can get up to what people are doing, I found that I spend the least amount of time getting up to date" with people I know and much more just scrolling through and "exploring" on all of these social media sites.

If you feel similar, I highly recommend you to delete any of the social media apps.
