how to deactivate instagram account

Deactivating your Instagram account is similar to Facebook and allows you to take a break from the platform without permanently deleting everything. Here's how to do it on the Instagram app:

1. Open the Instagram app and log in to your account.
2. Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
3. Tap on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner.
4. Go to "Settings" and then "Accounts Center".
5. Under "Account settings", tap on "Personal Details" and then "Account ownership and control".
6. Choose "Deactivation or deletion".
7. Select the account you want to deactivate (if you have multiple accounts).
8. Choose "Deactivate account" and tap "Continue".
9. Re-enter your password for confirmation and tap "Continue" again. 1 Select a reason for deactivating your account (optional) and tap "Continue".
10. Finally, tap "Deactivate account" to confirm.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Deactivating your Instagram account hides your profile, photos, and comments from others.
• Your information is still stored by Instagram.
• You can reactivate your account anytime by logging back in.
• Deactivating won't remove your information from apps that use Instagram Login.
