The study aims to conduct an experimental study on female students at King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia, where female students (150 individuals) abstained from social media (Twitter, Snapchat, WhatsApp, YouTube, and Instagram) for three days. Results revealed that participants experienced significant differences in social relationships (family / friends), academic performance, and the use of other means of communication (watching television, reading books, and talking on mobile) before and after abstaining from social media, while no differences were found in self-esteem and writing. Results of content analysis also showed that Fearing of Missing Out (FoMO) among students decreased significantly after the third day of the experiment compared to the first day.
