Deepika Padukone left her legion of fans in shock as she deleted all her tweets and Instagram posts on December 31 night. The actor, who is quite prolific on social media, has zero posts and tweets as of now.

In a tweet on Tuesday, WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton joined the chorus of voices calling on people to delete the social network. His advice to users to stop using the service is notable because WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.

WhatsApp is making a significant change to the way it lets people "unsent" messages.
