To delete Instagram using your phone's app, you'll need to find the " Account ownership and control" section in the settings menu and select "Deactivation" or "Deletion."

Deleting your Instagram account is not immediate. Once a request has been made, Instagram confirms a deletion date that is 30 days later. Your account will be temporarily disabled during this time and then permanently deleted if you don't log in within the 30 days.

Whether you’re deleting your old, embarrassing social media account , reducing the amount of information you share online , or decreasing the number of social media platforms you're active on, deleting or deactivating your Instagram account is a straightforward process.

Here’s how to permanently delete your Instagram account from the phone app:

  1. Tap your Profile > Menu > Settings and privacy > Account Center.

    Tap the profile button, menu icon, Settings and privacy, then Account Center.
  2. Tap Personal details > Account ownership and control > Deactivation or deletion.

    Tap Personal details, Account ownership and control, then Deactivation or deletion.
  3. Select the account you want to delete, then select Delete account > Continue.


    Select the account you want to delete, then tap the button next to Delete account and tap Continue.
  4. Re-enter your password, select the reason for leaving, then tap Continue. Your account will now be deleted in 30 days.

    Select the reason why you want to delete your Instagram account, then tap Continue.
