Should You Deactivate or Delete Instagram?

Delete your Instagram if you want to leave the platform for good. If you are unsure about permanent break, deactivate your account for 30 days. 

Keep in mind that deleting your Instagram account is permanent — profile, followers, photos and videos, comments, and likes will be lost forever. Deactivating your account is temporary and you can reactivate it anytime.

Deciding to deactivate or delete Instagram depends on your personal circumstances and social media usage goals. You may want a digital detox, more privacy, or fewer unwanted distractions.

 Or you may be concerned about user data protection, child safety, mental health, fraud risks, or Instagram hackers.

If you just want a break from Instagram, deactivating your account will hide it temporarily until you are ready to return.

How to Reactivate Your Instagram Account:

To reactivate your Instagram account, simply log in. Open the app and enter your username and password to regain access. 

The only additional step is to agree to the terms of use, which is only required if the terms have changed since your last login.
