ANDREW WILLIAMS
I got negative feedback anyway. But now I don’t care about the negative opinions of people online, I only care about the opinions of people I love and respect.
What’s your favourite social media platform?
My top three are Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. If I’m having a stressful time I like looking at something mindnumbing but with TikTok I set a timer on my phone of 20 minutes. Without it I’d be on there for hours.
What’s the most disappointing tech purchase you’ve made?
When I was younger I had an electronic diary. It was like a dictaphone and was advertised as only being accessible to the owner’s voice via a password. But it turned out anyone could get access to it using the password – including my three brothers, who were listening to my diary for a year without telling me. I only found out when I did a diary entry about kissing my first boy and they asked me what I’d been up to.
You vlog about fitness. Do you use any healthrelated gadgets?
I’ve moved on to Olympic weightlifting. I use the Wodify app. I enter what weights I can lift and then it works out the one-rep maximum I should aim for, or tells me to do it at 70 per cent for a certain number of reps, which is how you get your weights up. I used to run a lot and I have Under Armour Bluetooth running shoes. They’re connected to the Map My Run app, which helps you elongate your strides.
