Could it be time to unlike Facebook?

The world's largest social network is apparently just not cool anymore, with teenagers now spending more of their time on Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat.

Here are six reasons why it could be time to join the Facebook exodus.

Bumping into someone you have recently deleted could be even worse.

4. Your jealous of your ex-girlfriend / boyfriend
