How to deactivate Instagram Account

August 26, 2022 by Hasan Abbas Leave a Comment

Temporarily deactivate Instagram AccountIn terms of user base, Instagram is up there with the major social networks. While the site has put in a lot of effort to ensure that its users stick around, there will always be individuals who need a break and decide to suspend their membership. Despite its ease, the corporation has chosen to “hide” this procedure. Here we will explain how to temporarily deactivate Instagram Account.

Instagram (and other social networks) hates to see any of its members go, even if it’s only for a little while. The fact that the app doesn’t even give you the choice to delete your account is evidence of this. The technique requires access to the social network through a mobile or desktop browser.

Note that your profile, images, comments, and likes will be hidden until a fresh login is performed after you deactivate your account. You may only request to be deactivated from the social network once per seven days. You may make your Instagram account private or ban certain users if you merely want to restrict access.

However, if you’d like to temporarily deactivate Instagram, you may do so by following the steps below.

Disable or delete?

The most extreme measure is deletion. If you delete your account, everything associated with it will be deleted forever, including images, videos, comments, likes, and follows. But if you change your mind within 30 days, you may always reactivate your account with a fresh login. If you’re dead set on permanently removing your Instagram account, we’ve got a whole walkthrough for you.

But if you need a break, turning off Instagram is your best bet. After all, the request will just cause your profile to be inaccessible to others, and reactivating it is a simple process.
