How to Delete Your Instagram Account

Instagram now allows you to delete your account from directly within the Instagram app. This article shows you how it’s done.

Instagram Feature 2
To comply with Apple’s updated App Store guidelines, Instagram in June 2022 added an option in its app for users to delete their account on the service.

Previously it was only possible to delete your Instagram account by logging into a web browser on a desktop browser or mobile device. However, Apple told developers that apps offering account creation must also support account deletion from June 30, 2022, so Instagram had to add the feature.

If you want to delete your account, be aware that account deletion is permanent and it removes your profile, photos, videos, comments, likes, and followers.

That said, there is a 30-day period in which you can change your mind about deleting your account, so you can log back into Instagram after requesting deletion if you want to stop the deletion.

Note that instead of deleting your account, you could always deactivate your Instagram account temporarily, and all of your content will be hidden until your enable it again by logging back in.

Here are the steps to deleting (or deactivating) your Instagram account on iPhone.

  1. Launch the Instagram app.
  2. Tap the profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
  3. Tap the three lines in the top-right corner.

  4. Tap Settings.
  5. Tap Account.

  6. Tap Delete account near the bottom of the menu.
  7. Confirm by tapping Delete Account (or Deactivate Account).

Instagram also lets you hide your status, which prevents anyone from knowing when you were last online or last active on the service. To learn how it works, check out our dedicated how-to article.
