Even after the request goes through, there’s a grace period provided for people to undo the deletion process by simply logging in before the set deadline. When users try to do it through the app following the same steps mentioned earlier, they’ll need to confirm the ‘request’ a couple of times. Instead, they can just directly view any person’s Instagram profile link, provided that the account is set to public.ĭeleting an Instagram account is a tedious process by design because of its permanent nature.
Users who initially signed up for an Instagram account with the intention of merely viewing posts by celebrities and other public figures and zero desire to post their own content may also want to consider deleting their account if only to lessen the number of online profiles they have to manage. The same goes for people who are especially concerned about privacy and the amount of personal data they have online. If a person rarely uses Instagram or has had a bad experience interacting with others on the platform, it may be best to go the account deletion route. Users can get this done by going into the ‘ Settings’ page of the Instagram app, going to ‘ Account,’ and tapping ‘ Delete account.’ They can choose ‘ Deactivate account' and follow the onscreen instructions. Any accumulated posts, comments, likes, and messages can be visibly accessed once the account is reactivated by logging in again. Temporarily deactivating an Instagram account - which can only be done once per week - no matter how long the profile remains in stasis, will retain the profile's existence on the platform it will merely hide the account from followers and viewers. Both situations have the potential to be resolved short term, so in case the desire to jump back into Instagram is still there, temporary deactivation is key. It may also be an effective way to take a break from seeing things online that may be causing a negative impact on one’s mental health. Account deactivation may suit those who spend too much time on their devices and desire to regain time for in-real-life activities.
However, not everyone necessarily wants to lose all the progress they’ve made on their personal account.
There are many legitimate reasons to want to stop using Instagram.
