ββπ Relationship Status with Facebook: It's Complicated!
More than a quarter of #Facebook users in the US πΊπΈ say they have deleted the app from their phones over the past year, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center.
- 26% say they have deleted the app from their phones.
- 42% say they have taken a break from checking Facebook for several weeks or more.
- 54% say theyβve adjusted their privacy settings over the past year.
The interesting fact remains that the younger users deleted the app more often the older users. They've also taken more breaks from it. Whether it's sort of a backlash to the idea that #SocialMedia is a poor use of time, or CambridgeAnalytica scandal and/or something else, distancing themselves from Facebook app seems to be a conscious decision.

ββπ² You Only Have Six Days to Save Your App
From an analysis of over eight billion installs, across acquisition types, platforms, and verticals, Adjust found that marketers have less than six days (after the last app open) to re-engage users before they uninstall.
The study also found that the rate of uninstall varies across verticals, ranging from less than three hours to more than 15 days after the initial installation.
Despite the rate at which users uninstall apps, this does not mean all is lost. The study also found that 34% of users who uninstall an app are willing to re-download it again further down the line.
