How to Delete an Instagram Account on an iPhone

Deleting an Instagram account can be a daunting task, especially if you’re using an iPhone. Instagram accounts are linked to your Apple ID, so deleting an Instagram account on an iPhone requires you to delete the app itself and then delete your account.

To delete an Instagram account on an iPhone, you’ll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the Instagram App

The first step in deleting your Instagram account is to uninstall the Instagram app. To do this, simply press and hold the Instagram app icon until all of the app icons start to shake. Then, tap the “X” that appears in the top-left corner of the Instagram app icon.

If you’re using an older version of iOS, you may need to open Settings, select General, select Storage & iCloud Usage, select Manage Storage, and then select the Instagram app. Then, tap the “Delete App” button.

Step 2: Delete Your Instagram Account

Once you’ve uninstalled the Instagram app, you’ll need to delete your Instagram account itself. To do this, open Safari and go to Instagram.com. Log in to your account and go to your profile page. Tap the “Edit Profile” button and scroll to the bottom of the page.

At the bottom of the page, you’ll find the “Delete Your Account” link. Tap this link and select the “Permanently delete my account” option. You’ll be prompted to enter your password to confirm your identity. Once you’ve entered your password, your account will be permanently deleted.

Step 3: Clean Up Your Apple ID

Once you’ve deleted your Instagram account, you’ll need to make sure that your Apple ID is no longer associated with the account. To do this, open the Settings app on your iPhone and select your Apple ID at the top of the page.

On the Apple ID page, select the “iTunes & App Store” option. Then, select the “Apple ID” option and select the “Sign Out” option. Once you’ve signed out of your Apple ID, you can sign back in with a different Apple ID or delete the Apple ID entirely.

Step 4: Reinstall the Instagram App

Finally, you can reinstall the Instagram app on your iPhone. To do this, simply open the App Store, search for the Instagram app, and tap the “Install” button. Once you’ve installed the app, you can create a new account or log in with an existing account.

Once you’ve completed these steps, your Instagram account will be deleted from your iPhone. Keep in mind that it may take some time for the account to be completely deleted from Instagram’s servers.

Deleting an Instagram account on an iPhone isn’t as difficult as it may seem. By following these steps, you can delete your Instagram account quickly and easily. Good luck!
