How to delete Instagram account

This tutorial shows you how to permanently delete an Instagram account from an Android, or iPhone using the official Instagram application or a web browser.

Instagram Account delete and deactivate.

Deleting an Instagram account is a permanent, irreversible action. However, if you just want to take a break from Instagram without losing your posts, you can temporarily disable your account. Disabling an Instagram account doesn't delete any photos, videos, rolls, comments, likes, etc., but hides them temporarily. This implies that they won't be apparent until you reactivate your record by signing in with your username and secret key. You can also just offload the Instagram app to reduce the annoyance.
