Go to your profile photo and click it.


Choose a profile.


Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Edit Profile next to your username.


"Temporarily disable my account" should be selected.

To temporarily disable an account, click the Temporarily Disable Account option.


All you have to do to reactivate your account is log in to Instagram from any device.


How To Permanently Delete Instagram Account


Deleting your Instagram account permanently is more difficult than temporarily deactivating it. You must submit a request to Instagram to have your account deleted, and the firm may take up to 90 days to do it. Here’s how to do it:


Use a computer to access Instagram.


To get started, go to the Instagram delete Account page.(https://www.instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/permanent/)


Choose a reason for cancelling your Instagram account from the drop-down menu.


-"Permanently Delete My Account" should be selected.


Instagram will inform you that your account and all of your information will be permanently destroyed 30 days after you submit your request. It could take up to 90 days to remove everything you've posted. Instagram, on the other hand, states that it may keep a copy of your data in its backup after the 90-day period has passed, and that it will only utilise it in the event of a disaster, software mistake, or other data loss, or for legal concerns, violations, or damage prevention efforts.
