How to delete instagram account

Today I'm going to tell you how to delete your Instagram account or temporarily deactivate it. Before we start, first you must know the difference between temporarily deactivating and permanently deleting Instagram account.

Difference between Temporarily Deactivating and Permanently Deleting IG account:

Temporarily deactivating: When you opt for temporarily deactivating your IG account, then all your posts, profile picture, username, tagged posts, comments and likes will not appear on your profile until you reactivate your account again. If you wish to reactivate your Instagram account again you just need to log in normally as you do.

Permanently deleting: If you wish to permanently delete your Instagram account, then all your posts, comments, likes would be permanently deleted. Unlike temporarily deactivating, you cannot restore your profile nor you can log in with username and password. Also, you cannot create another account with same username.

Permanently delete your Instagram account:

Follow these simple steps to delete your Instagram account permanently-

Step 1: Login your account on website (you cannot delete using app).

Step 2: Now, go to "Delete your account" page of Instagram.

Step 3: Select the reason you want to delete your account.
