Deleting an Instagram account is a simple process, but it's important to keep in mind that once you delete your account, you won't be able to recover it or the content on it.
If you're sure you want to delete your account, here's how to do it:
- Open the Instagram app on your phone or tablet, or log in to Instagram on the web.
- Go to your profile page by tapping the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen (on the app) or clicking on your username in the top right corner (on the web).
- Tap or click on the three lines in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Settings" from the menu that appears.
- Scroll down and tap or click on "Privacy and Security."
- Scroll down to the "Account" section and tap or click on "Delete Your Account."
- You'll be asked to choose a reason for deleting your account. Select the reason that best applies to you, then tap or click on "Permanently delete my account."
- Enter your password when prompted, then tap or click on "Permanently delete my account."
Keep in mind that it may take a few hours for your account to be fully deleted. During this time, you won't be able to log in or access your account.
If you're having trouble deleting your account or have any other questions, you can reach out to Instagram's support team for assistance.
