Many young people use instagram as their camera app. By "detect when they delete their selfies", I'm assuming, that they were explicitly detecting when someone would take a selfie (noting it as selfie, of course), and then immediately deleting it after

possibly before they ever uploaded it as a post.

Edit: the article doesn't say anything about this though, in fact it only mentions "selfie" once other than the title.
