Things to consider before deleting your Instagram account

Now let's take a look at what you should know before you delete your Instagram account so you don't regret it later.

Differences between permanently deleting and deactivating an Instagram account

If you feel it's time to take a break from Instagram, one of the biggest social networks, you have two options: delete or deactivate your account. There is a big difference between the two.

Suspending your Instagram account will hide your comments, likes, all your photos, videos, follower count and other details. Once you temporarily deactivate your account, no one will see your profile, but you will still have access to things like your private messages. Deactivation is easily reversible and you can pick up where you left off at any time by logging into Instagram via the app or website.

Once you delete your account, Instagram permanently deletes all content on your profile, including photos, reels, mentions, comments, likes, and follower list. If you want to access your profile data in the future, we recommend that you download a backup copy before deleting your account.

A deleted Instagram account cannot be recovered after 30 days

Once you hit the delete button, your Instagram account is no longer publicly available. However, you have 30 days to change your mind. If you decide to return to Instagram, log back in with your username and password to regain access to your profile.

After 30 days from the deletion request, Instagram will permanently delete all your data - you will not be able to use or recover your account. Therefore, we recommend that you save your Instagram photos, videos, archived posts, DM exchanges, and other relevant information before deleting your account.

Back up and download your Instagram account data before deleting

Instagram allows you to manage your data and download it if you decide to delete your account. Back up your photos, published stories, reels, archived posts and other data in case you need them in the future. Remember – once you delete your Instagram account, the Instagram data downloader will no longer be available.

Here is a step-by-step guide to download Instagram data on the Instagram app and website.
