Actor Amandla Stenberg has discarded her iPhone to preserve her mental health and has encouraged other young people to do the same.
The 18-year-old actress has admitted she no longer has a smartphone with which she can connect to the internet, as she believes the constant connection to social media was having a negative impact on her mental health, reported Contactmusic.
"Amid all of the chaos in the world right now, it's so important that everyone actively works to preserve their mental health so that we're able to heal and create change.
"I got rid of my iPhone, and that was essential in preserving my mental health," Stenberg said in an interview to Teen Vogue magazine.
Instead, the "Hunger Games" actress now uses a flip phone.
