与其母公司Facebook一样， ^(Facebook)Instagram对隐私丑闻并不陌生。

除了在其“下载您的数据^{(Download Your Data)}”功能中发现的安全漏洞（泄露了一些用户的密码^{(leaked some users’ passwords)}）之外，该平台还有其他几种方式对您的隐私构成威胁。  

例如，默认设置会自动跟踪用户的位置^{(tracks a user’s location)}，他们的 DM 服务更新会通知其他用户您何时处于活动状态以及您上次活动的时间，以及分享您的应用内活动，例如评论、喜欢和更多与其他用户。

更糟糕的是点赞、评论、Insta 名人^{(Insta-famous)}的竞争，这种竞争已经失控，对一些用户，尤其是年轻一代产生了心理影响。

How To Delete An Instagram Account

Like Faceboоk, its parent corporation, Instagram is no stranger to рrivacy scandals.

Besides the security flaw found in its Download Your Data feature, which leaked some users’ passwords, there are several other ways the platform poses a threat to your privacy.  

For instance, there’s the default setting that automatically tracks a user’s location, the update to their DM service that informed other users when you’re active and the last time you were active, plus sharing your in-app activity such as comments, likes and more with other users.

Worse still is the competition for likes, comments, and being Insta-famous, which was getting out of hand and had psychological effects on some users, especially the younger generation.

Whatever your reason for wanting to do away with it all, we’re going to show you how to delete an Instagram account once and for all. 

How To Delete An Instagram Account

Like Facebook, Instagram also gives you the option to disable or delete your account. 

Temporarily disabling your account hides all your photos, comments, likes and your profile until you log back in to reactivate it. Permanently deleting your Instagram account removes all your photos, comments, videos, likes and your profile for good, and you won’t be able to get any of it back. 

Note: Once deleted, you can’t sign up again with the same username, add it to another account or reactivate it.

How to Temporarily Disable Your Instagram Account

To temporarily disable your Instagram account, sign into Instagram from a browser on your computer or mobile device (not with the Instagram mobile app). 

1. Click or tap your profile photo at the upper right side. 

1. Next, click or tap Edit Profile.

1. Scroll down and click or tap Temporarily disable my account.

1. Go to the drop-down menu next to Why are you disabling your account, and choose an option. 

1. Re-enter your password.

Note: You’ll only see the option to disable your account after selecting a reason from the drop-down menu and entering your password.

1. Click or tap Temporarily disable account.

If you can’t remember your password or username, you won’t be able to sign in to disable your account temporarily. However, you can try some of the tips below if you forgot your Instagram username or password:

Reset your password using your phone number, email address or Facebook account. To do this, go to the Instagram app and follow the steps below depending on your device:

For Android, tap Get help signing in on the login screen, select Use Username or Email, Send an SMS or Log In with Facebook. Enter your details and follow the instructions.

On iPhone, tap Forgot Password on the login screen, tap Username or Phone, enter your email address, phone number or username and tap Next.

If you don’t know your username or can’t locate your account, ask a friend to go to your profile and screenshot your username, or check for an email from Instagram with your account information. When entering your username, exclude the @ symbol and see if it brings up the correct username as you type it out on the login screen.

There are other things you can do if you don’t want to disable or delete your account. For example, you can block people or set your posts to private instead.

Permanently Delete Your Instagram Account

Once you take the steps below, you won’t be able to sign up again using the same username or add it to a different account. You cannot reactivate it either. Only follow these steps if you really want to permanently delete your Instagram account.
