Are you planning a huge digital detox, trying to protect your privacy from social media behemoths, or simply need a break from Instagram? Have you ever wanted to quit using yourย Instagram accountย but don’t know how to deactivate or delete it? Here’s some assistance.
If you want to get the social network out of your life, you have two options: one permanent and one temporary. We’llย teach youย how to accomplish both, as well as download your Instagram data so you don’t lose access to any photographs or videos you’ve uploaded over time.
Deactivate Instagram Account temporarily
You can choose toย temporarily deactivateย yourย Instagramย account, which allows you the chance to revive it at a later time, if completely deleting your account seems a little too definitive to you. You’ll need to accomplish this on your computer or through a mobile browser, just as when you delete an account.
Step 1) Use the web browser on your PC or a mobile device to visit instagram.com. Click the “log in” button after entering your login information.
Step 2) Select “profile” by clicking your profile photo in the top right corner of the browser window.
Step 3) Click the “edit profile” option once you are on your profile page.
Step 4) Click the “temporarily deactivate my account” link at the bottom of the page once you have scrolled all the way down.
Step 5) choose a choice from the drop-down menu. Then, you’ll be prompted to enter your password again. After doing so, click or press the “temporarily deactivate account” option.
Yourย Instagramย account is now inaccessible. You won’t be able to log back in without reactivating it, and other users won’t be able to search for it.
Deactivate Instagram Account Permanently
While you may access the mobile app to request your data, you must use a web browser on aย computerย or mobile device to access the Instagram website to delete your account.
Step 1) Go to the Instagram deletion page via a web browser. Enter your login information and click “log in.”
Step 2) A dropdown menu will now appear. You may choose one of eight reasons for deleting your account here. Choose any of them.
Step 3) Other users, including your followers, will no longer be able to see your Instagram account. If you change your mind about deleting your account, you have 30 days to log back in with your username and password and have the deletion reversed.
Overall, cancelling or deactivating your Instagram account is an easy procedure. Unfortunately, there is no method to do it via the iPhone or Android apps, but using a browser only minimally complicates the deleting procedure. Use one of the best VPNs for Instagram if you’re in a restricted country.
