How to delete or deactivate an Instagram account
Users have the choice to either permanently remove their Instagram accounts or deactivate them temporarily. Here's how to accomplish both.
Deactivating an account to safeguard personal information or restricting the usage of social media apps to lessen distractions can be challenging. Users frequently question what the best way is to remove their personal information from online platforms among the many choices available. Users on Facebook and Instagram have two options for requesting the temporary or permanent removal of their personal data: deactivation and deletion.
Instagram, a site owned by Meta, allows users to permanently remove their accounts or temporarily deactivate them.
An account's deactivation prevents followers from seeing the user's posts, likes, and comments. Furthermore, the profile will no longer be searchable by other platform users.
