Setting up an Instagram account is really simple, and reading the feed and reel is a ton of fun. But have you ever considered deactivating or permanently deleting your Instagram account?
In this guide, we will explain how you can delete your Instagram account.
What Happens When You Delete your Account
Your profile, pictures, videos, comments, likes, and followers will all be permanently deleted when you terminate your account. You can briefly disable your account if you simply want to pause for a moment.
You might decide to sign in and download a copy of your data from Instagram (such as your images and posts) before cancelling your account. You won’t have access to Instagram’s Data Download function once your account has been terminated.
Your account and all of your information will be permanently wiped 30 days after your request to have it deleted, and you won’t be able to get it back. The content is inaccessible to other Instagram users during those 30 days and is still governed by Instagram’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The deletion procedure may start and take up to 90 days to finish.
