How to delete Instagram account temporarily

Instagram can be too distracting at times, you must admit. Aimlessly scrolling for hours and hours through the feed and Reels can become quite addictive, we have all been there! If you are planning to get detox from Instagram for a while, you can always choose to deactivate your account for some time or delete the account temporarily. Notably, you cannot temporarily disable your account from the Instagram app, instead, you will need a laptop or computer to do it.

How to delete your Instagram account temporarily

Here is a step-by-step guidebook on how you can disable your Instagram account from your laptop/computer:

  1. Open your Instagram account on your computer/laptop
  2. Click on the profile picture in the top right corner
  3. Go to “Edit Profile” and scroll down
  4. Tap on the “Temporarily disable my account”
  5. You will then need to enter a reason for making this decision from options: too busy/too distracting, privacy concerns, too many ads, created a second account, concerned about my data, can’t find people to follow, just need a break and something else.
  6. Once done, enter your password and click on “Temporarily Disable Account” and you are good to go.
