After taking part in Asia's Next Top Model, rising Indonesian model Aldilla Zahraa has had to adapt her social media habits.
She has to make sure that her posts on Instagram or Snapchat does not spoil anything about the reality show, which premiered on March 9.
'I deleted some photos to revamp my Instagram profile and I can't post anything because my hair is short,' she said, referring to the makeover she got during the show.
In Cycle 4, Aldilla and fellow Indonesian contestant, Patricia Gunawan, bunked together in a Singapore apartment with 12 other contestants hailing from nine countries across Asia.
Each week, they are competing to give their best pose and cat walk in the hope of snatching Asia's top model title.
Looking back at the show, filmed from November to December 2015, Aldilla said she learned many lessons.
'The show, apart from modeling, taught me so much about confidence. I tended to doubt myself,' the 23-year old said.
Born on June 27, 1992, to a family of British, Palestinian and Indonesian descent, Aldilla and her family moved from Jakarta to the UK when she was four years old. After spending 10 years in Europe, she spent her high school years in Australia and subsequently studied interior architecture at Taylor's University in Malaysia. She just started her modeling career two years ago.
Aldilla's gadget and app choices reflect her life as a model and an interior designer.

iPhone 5s
I am not a gadget freak. Most of the time, I use my iPhone 5s. I chose it because I love the phone's operating system. Samsung phones, for example, seem complicated to me.
I forget about the laptop type. I use the laptop mostly for interior design. To create 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images, I employ Autocad, SketchUp and 3ds Max software programs. Sketching 3-dimensional images is very time consuming and hard. At one point, I almost cried when drawing these images.
Apps
I use Instagram and Whatsapp to stay connected with my friends and family. I just started using Snapchat and it is really fun!
