However, quite a number of people are willing to remove their Instagram accounts now. For some users, the reason is too much advertising, where others are fed up with all kinds of bots. In order to deactivate your account, you may waste a lot of time searching the settings, but if you really want to get rid of your page in Instagram, this video is the shortcut to your goal. That's because we will show you how to disable an account for some time only and how to remove it completely. So let's begin. Hello friends!

The first is to deactivate it temporarily, and the other suggests removing it for good. First of all, let's see how to disable an Instagram account temporarily. The easiest way to do it is from a computer. Open your page and click Edit Profile. Then click the line Temporally Disable My Account below. In the next window, you will have to give the reason why you decided to disable your account, and then enter the account password to confirm the start of the blocking process. Finally, click the button Temporally Disable Account. A serious advantage of this method is that the account gets enabled again as soon as you sign in from the app. In addition to temporarily disabling, there is one more way which can help you remove your page for good. Removing an Instagram account is an irreversible process, and as soon as you do it, you are going to lose all your photos, videos and other information, including your followers. So my advice is to begin with temporarily disabling your account, and in that case you will be able to restore it. However, if you have made a decision to remove your account forever, well, then let's see how it can be done. After deleting the account, you cannot sign up again with the same username or add such username to another account. Before deleting your account, let's find out how to download a copy of all your information. In Instagram, you can get a copy of all the stuff you have posted. You can do it from both a PC-based browser and a mobile app. If you are using a browser, go to your account and open Settings. Select Privacy and Security. Scroll down until you see Data Download and click Request Download. Give the email address where you'd like to receive the link for downloading data and your Instagram account password. After some time, check the mailbox you have given for an email containing the link to your data. Click Download Data and follow the wizard directions to download all your information. If you are using a mobile app, go to your account and tap on the three lines button. Open Settings by tapping on the gear shape icon below. Then Security. Download Data. Give the email address where the link should be sent and then tap Request Download. Enter the account password and assume you will receive a message to your email address. Click Download Data and follow the wizard directions to download all your information. To remove an account completely, you will need to follow the direct link. In the description below this video. If you haven't signed in to Instagram yet, do it. The removal is only possible by using a browser from PC, and it's impossible to remove your account from the Instagram app on your phone. A bit later in today's video, you will see how to delete an Instagram account from a smartphone. But now, after following the link, you will see an account removal window asking you for the reasons why you decided to remove your Instagram account. Select an item from the list and enter the password to confirm it. Now, all you have to do is to click on this button to have your account removed forever. And your account will be gone for good. Recently, the tab containing the option to delete an Instagram profile from a smartphone was removed. The app is updated constantly in an attempt to keep the user's attention as long as possible. After all, most of its functions to take, upload and modify pictures is available in the mobile version. In order to remove Instagram from your phone, run the app, open the settings and browse to Help – Help Center. You can change language options below if necessary. Click on Managing your account and then Delete your account. In the next page, select How do I delete my account? And then tap the link Go to the Delete your account page. At this stage, you should select which you'd like to use – the browser or the app. Give the reason for removing Instagram and click Permanently Delete my account to confirm your decision. As a result, your Instagram account will be removed completely and you won't be able to sign in. If you need to remove the application itself from a smartphone, watch another video on our channel, and the link is in the description as usual. If you try to sign in after the account was deleted, you will see this message. The username you entered doesn't belong to any account, please check your username and try again. It means the account is gone and can't be recounted. That is why you should always consider the possible consequences before removing your account. What if you want it back someday? And that is all for now. Hopefully, this video was useful. Remember to click the Like button and subscribe to our channel. Hit the bell button to receive notifications and never miss new videos.
