To do this, navigate to the settings menu and scroll to the bottom of the screen until you find the section titled &#8216;Log Out.&#8217; Most mobile devices hide this section by default, so you&#8217;ll need to access it manually. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select the linked account you want to remove.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporary_deactivation\"><\/span>Temporary deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can temporarily disable your Instagram account if you feel overwhelmed by its constant updates. If you find yourself scrolling through your account all day, it may be time to take a break. Fortunately, temporary deactivation on Instagram is a simple procedure. All data in your account will be deleted once you deactivate it, so you should always download your photos and other important information before you choose to deactivate it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to restore your account after temporary deactivation, you can follow the instructions provided by Instagram. To restore your account, log in and click on &#8216;Settings&#8217;. After you enter your login and password, click on &#8216;Temporarily deactivate my account&#8217;. After the process has been completed, you&#8217;ll be booted back to the Instagram homepage, but your account will be hidden from search results.<\/p>\n<p>To return to your Instagram account, log in and select the reason for your temporary deactivation. Next, enter your password and choose Temporary deactivation. Your account will remain hidden from your followers and mutuals for the time being. You will lose all posts, but you won&#8217;t lose any data. Just be sure to log in again when you&#8217;re ready. It&#8217;s as simple as that!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Logging_back_in\"><\/span>Logging back in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve removed your Instagram account and are now thinking of logging back in, it&#8217;s a good idea to make sure you&#8217;ve logged out on Facebook first. While you can delete your login information from the app, it&#8217;s likely to still be saved if you&#8217;ve changed your password. If that&#8217;s the case, you will need to confirm your action to log back in.<\/p>\n<p>You can log back in after deleting an account on Instagram by going to its settings and selecting the &#8220;Log out&#8221; option. By doing so, your Instagram account will remember your login information and default to the last one you used. After you log out, you can choose to disable this feature. Otherwise, you can log back in and confirm your removal. Then, simply follow the steps above to reactivate your Instagram account.<\/p>\n<p>To remove the account that Instagram has remembered on your phone, you will need to delete your saved login details in the app. You can do this by clearing the Instagram application&#8217;s storage. This will remove the account from your phone, as well as the login information. It&#8217;s important to follow these steps if you want to ensure that you don&#8217;t accidentally forget your username and password. But first, make sure you log out of the app. You&#8217;ll need to do this before deleting the app&#8217;s password and information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Timeframe\"><\/span>Timeframe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The timeframe for deleting an account on Instagram has been expanded to thirty days, following the guidelines set by Apple. However, there are a few ways to delay the deletion of your account on Instagram. One way is to post on the app that you&#8217;re canceling your Instagram account. If you later decide that you want to keep your account, you can log back in to the service. This method is not recommended as it&#8217;s easy to be re-registered with the same username.<\/p>\n<p>While Instagram is not responsible for deleting your account on its own, it does delete accounts after three days of inactivity. It&#8217;s also possible that you&#8217;ve violated the terms of service. In that case, you should be patient and understand that the process could take a little while. But it&#8217;s worth the wait. The account will eventually be deleted. However, if you&#8217;ve been unable to unsubscribe from the Instagram app, you should contact Instagram Support to ask them to delete your account.<\/p>\n<p>The process to permanently delete your Instagram account can take several days. In some cases, the deletion of an account can take up to 90 days. In such cases, users may choose to delete their account after 90 days to prevent it from being permanently deleted. However, it&#8217;s important to note that while the deletion process may take several days, all information and posts will remain on the Instagram platform for at least 90 days. This way, you can make sure that your Instagram account remains private and is not accessible to others.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"252\" width=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rwQJUbl18p0\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete an Account on Instagram In order to permanently delete an account on Instagram, you&#8217;ll need to log out of the platform.
