I also know one friend, who changed her phone number multiple times. When I asked her about it, she told me her ex kept trying to reach her. I am actually friends with her ex’s sister. She told me her brother never did anything like that, but she was the psycho one who texted him, pretending to be someone else just for attention.
I personally do that to detox, when u look at social media, you'll see others' pda in stories and posts which may make u feel more like shit when u are already trying to get over someone, thinking this was you a few days/weeks/months ago. Then the algorithm will also specifically show u all the cute reels/posts you used to send to your partner. You'll smile for a moment and the first instinct would be to send it to them but then you'll realize you aren't together anymore so that would sting even more. So it's for the good to deactivate social media to cope better and in a more healthy way.
I think your pretty spot on, but ill add that it also happens when the only reason they were on the app to begin with was you. For example, I have a particular chat messenger I like to use so she used it because it was my preference. Once we ended she deleted that app to my knowledge.
Usually it's because I'm going through a pretty rough period emotionally and trying to take time for myself/ commit to self-care. Breakups hurt. I sometimes just don't have the energy or desire to be on social media because of breakup sadness.
They don't want to be reminded of their ex or don't want to be constantly stalking their ex. Breakups are hard sometimes you need to disconnect and take some time away from everything.

Block Is Best Instead. lolxxoo
A lot of people do this after a break up to help get over them. Out of sight out of mind.
and yes if an ex keeps trying to contact them when they don’t want to talk then that’s another reason they block.
I don't bother with 'this one'' or 'that one' being right. My feeling is, if the break up isn't amicable then no contact is the way to go.. ALWAYS!
Don’t really know. I generally have zero social media presence and I like it that way. Seems like a time-drain and unnecessary distraction to me.
It shouldn't be difficult to realize some people just want to be left alone and social media is mainly the lowest form of interaction anyway. It's a way of disconnecting while you're trying to recover from bad times.
A lot of people do that to take a break from everything. Social media is a big factor where people see your actitvies and whatever you post. ALso if you share mutual friends that is another reason why.
Most times people do that when they don't want to communicate with their ex. But in this situation it looks like she's up to no good!
Because they don't want stalker exes causing drama. They probably don't deactivate they just block you.
think it's just they wanna be left alone. at least for a while. so they cut off all communications with people
