Kylie Jenner now the second woman in the number of subscriptions on Instagram with over 396 million followers. despite this ELLE November cover star is currently offline due to his own mental health.

In her interview, she explained that she has reduced her use of social networks. “My friends and I are laughing because it’s hard to keep up with the Internet these days. It’s exhausting,” she said. “When I was posting 24/7 — waking up, what I’m eating for breakfast, what I’m wearing for the day, the color of my nails, what car I’m driving, where I’m going — I didn’t have a busy schedule. I didn’t work that much; I didn’t have kids and I had more time. If you’re not posting three times a day on TikTok, you’re falling behind.”

Jenner uses Instagram and Pinterest to find young designers to collaborate with for her fashion label, Khy. She recently added another classic millennial app, albeit secretly: “I just got Tumblr again. I’m always looking for inspiration.”

However, the star remembers its use. She said she sometimes deletes her social media apps from her phone for a week to be more present with people.

As a mother of two, Jenner also tried to protect her children, six-year-old Stormi and two-year-old Air, from the Internet. She will talk about their lives from time to time, but values ​​control over what people see.

“When I share my children, I want it to be from me or from their father (Travis Scott), she said. Her children don’t have their own accounts and don’t intend to, Jenner added. “It’s not socializing for as long as possible.” She joked that she hoped they would stay “until they left the house.”

Even with these restrictions, Jenner can’t keep her daughter completely offline. “Stormi will come home and she’ll know all the TikTok dances,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Where did you learn that?’
