How to temporarily deactivate an Instagram account

If you've decided you want to take a break from Instagram, you can simply deactivate your account instead of deleting it. After deactivation, your profile will be hidden from other users until you reactivate it by logging in again. This is not a drastic deletion that can cause you to lose your posts and other data. You can only temporarily deactivate your Instagram account on a Mac or computer, and the procedure is as follows:

  • First, you need to go to the site Instagram.
  • In case you haven't already login, do so.
  • Once you've logged in, tap on in the upper right corner your profile icon.
  • A drop-down menu will open, in which click on the box Profile.
  • This will take you to your profile page where you press the button Edit profile.
  • Now all you have to do is tap on at the bottom Temporary deactivation of your own account.
  • After clicking, just select reason for deactivation a ask password to your account.
  • Confirm the deactivation by clicking the button Temporarily deactivate your account.

So, the above method can be used to deactivate your Instagram account. Once you deactivate, your profile will be hidden and other users will not be able to find you on Instagram. In addition to the profile itself, your photos, comments and hearts will also be hidden until you reactivate your account. Reactivation can be done simply by logging into your account in the classic way. You can only deactivate your account once a week.
