Selena Gomez says four years without using the internet has improved her mental health.

CNN reports that the singer, once known as "the queen of Instagram", hasn't used the internet for four and a half years.

According to the publication, Selena said in an interview with Good Morning America that staying off the internet has changed her life completely.  

"I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people," she said. "I understand how powerful the internet is, and in so many ways it's done the best things for the world. But for me, I get to my news that is actually important I get through people in my life."

Selena once had the most followers on Instagram, and still has over 300 million followers on the app. Currently, the star is promoting the mental health platform Wondermind, which she co-founded. 

The singer has been candid about her experiences with bipolar disorder and says the aim of the platform is to help those in need.
