How to delete your Instagram account in Android

 It might hurt to think about your Instagram account. There is a method to get rid of these traces, whether you've shared too many intimate facts about your life on your shiny new Android tablet or you're sick of social media. However, you must take severe action before canceling an Instagram account. Before moving on, you might want to copy your Instagram data as you cannot undo this decision. If not, we show you how to remove your account information from any reliable device—and that includes web browsers and iOS and Android—that you own.

Deactivating versus deleting

If you are unsure about this choice but would like to have the responsibility of managing your social media account removed from your plate, think about deactivating your account. Instagram accounts are kept private after they are deactivated, but all of your data is retained and the account itself remains intact. Your Instagram profile might be reactivated if you connect back into the app or website. However, keep in mind that if your goal is to remove yourself from the internet, this might not be the best solution for you. Until you remove it, your data is still stored with Meta.

Go to your Instagram profile, click the Edit Profile option, then navigate to the Accounts Center page to cancel your account. Instead of removing your account from there, you can choose to deactivate it.

How to delete an Instagram account on Android 

After deleting an Instagram account, the username becomes available for purchase. If the account name is still accessible, you can re-register with it. Recall that you have 30 days to retrieve your account if you decide to change your mind before it is deleted from Meta's database. Before committing to the permanent deletion, we advise you to make a backup copy of your data (request download data).

Here are several examples of utilizing an iPhone and an Android phone. These instructions apply to any device that has the Instagram iOS and Android apps installed.
