If you want to leave Instagram you have two options: delete your account and leave the social media network permanently, or deactivate your account and stay on the platform indefinitely. Alternatively, you can turn it off for a while. Here you will learn how to deactivate or delete your Instagram account.
Before you delete your Instagram account, think about whether you really want to do so. You will not be able to reactivate your account, and all your content, followers, comments, and favorites will be permanently lost. If you think you can restore everything later, consider deactivating your account instead of deleting it.
