How to Deactivate Your Instagram Account
Instagram is a great way to connect with friends and family, share your photos and videos, and discover new content. But sometimes, you may want to take a break from Instagram or delete your account altogether.
If you're thinking about deactivating your Instagram account, here's what you need to know:
* What happens when you deactivate your account?
When you deactivate your account, your profile, photos, comments, and likes will be hidden from other users. However, your account information will still be stored by Instagram. If you reactivate your account within 30 days, all of your content will be restored. After 30 days, your account and all of your content will be permanently deleted.
