To delete your Instagram account, follow these steps:
Using a Web Browser:
- Log in to Instagram: Go to instagram.com and log in to your account.
- Go to Delete Your Account: Visit the Delete Your Account page directly. You may need to enter your login information again.
- Select a Reason: From the dropdown menu, select the reason you are deleting your account.
- Re-enter Your Password: You will be prompted to enter your password again to confirm.
- Delete Account: Click on the red button that says Permanently delete my account.
Using the Instagram App:
Currently, you cannot delete your account directly through the Instagram app. You’ll need to use a web browser, either on your phone or computer.
Important Notes:
- Backup Your Data: If you want to keep your photos or data, consider downloading your data before deleting your account. You can do this in the app under Settings > Security > Download Data.
- Deactivation vs. Deletion: If you want to take a break but not delete your account permanently, you can temporarily disable it instead. This option is available in your account settings under Edit Profile > Temporarily disable my account.
- Permanent Action: Deleting your account is permanent. All your photos, comments, likes, and followers will be removed, and you won’t be able to reactivate the account or retrieve any data.
