Thankfully, there&#8217;s a way to do both. This article outlines the steps required to permanently delete your Instagram account or deactivate it temporarily. Using these steps will help you delete Instagram data from your phone, and ensure that no one else can access your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_your_phone_number_from_Instagram\"><\/span>Removing your phone number from Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To remove your phone number from Instagram, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to make sure that you have an account linked to your email address. Once you have done that, navigate to your account and select the &#8220;Profile&#8221; tab. From here, you can either delete or keep your number. Note that your phone may still show up, so you should check your mobile browser to be sure. Removing your phone number from Instagram may be as simple as deleting your account.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, go to your Instagram profile and tap on &#8220;Personal Info.&#8221; You should then input a valid e-mail address and turn off Two-Factor Authentication. Once you&#8217;ve done that, tap on &#8220;Delete&#8221; in the phone number box. Then, tap on &#8220;Clear&#8221; to confirm the deletion. It is that simple! You can also choose to remove your phone number from Instagram at any time.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve verified your email address, you can remove your phone number from Instagram. To do so, you&#8217;ll need to sign in to Instagram and tap on the &#8220;Profile&#8221; icon. Once you have selected &#8220;Edit Profile,&#8221; click on &#8220;Personal Information&#8221; and choose &#8220;Delete Phone Number.&#8221; After this, you&#8217;ll receive a confirmation email. Once your phone number is removed from Instagram, you&#8217;ll be able to unlink it from your profile again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_your_Instagram_account_permanently\"><\/span>Deleting your Instagram account permanently<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a mobile phone, you can delete your Instagram account permanently through the browser. This will make your account completely invisible to other Instagram users. The delete option requires you to enter your Instagram password and confirm the action. However, you have 30 days to cancel the action. Hence, you should delete your Instagram account as soon as possible. To do this, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>After deleting your account, you will have to re-enter your password to access your account. It will take about a month for the data to be completely removed, and you might be able to get the same username again. In addition, if you have deleted your account more than 30 days ago, Instagram may be able to restore it if they find any information about legal issues or terms violation.<\/p>\n<p>Delete Your Instagram account from your phone is easy, but you have to follow certain instructions. First, you should go to the Instagram website and log in as the account you want to delete. Then, select the reason for deleting your account and click Permanently Delete. You should now see a message asking you to re-enter your password. You should have a confirmation message within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_deactivating_your_Instagram_account\"><\/span>Temporarily deactivating your Instagram account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re feeling the need to disconnect from your Instagram account, you can temporarily disable your account on your phone. This action will hide your profile, comments, likes, and more. Disabling your Instagram account is easier than permanently deleting it, which Instagram does after 90 days. Once your account is deleted, you can&#8217;t reactivate it with the same username, and Instagram will not allow you to re-register using the same username again.<\/p>\n<p>The process of deactivating your Instagram account on your phone is not difficult. Simply sign in with your username and password, and click on &#8220;Temporarily disable your account.&#8221; After that, you must enter your password again to sign back into your account. Then, you can reactivate your account by logging back into the app. If you reactivate your account, make sure to change your password.<\/p>\n<p>While temporarily deactivating your Instagram account on your phone is easy, there are certain details you should remember. The first thing to remember is that Instagram saves all your data. This way, if you ever want to reactivate your account, you can restore it in a few minutes. Your account will disappear from other accounts&#8217; lists and will no longer be visible to your followers. It will not be possible for others to unfollow you if you&#8217;re hiding your account, so it&#8217;s best to use this method if you&#8217;re sure that you&#8217;re going to have to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Instagram Account on Phone If you&#8217;re considering deactivating or deleting your Instagram account, you&#8217;ve probably wondered how to delete your phone number from the social network.
