Once the Instagram app is open, tap on the Profile icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to your profile page.

Step 3: Access Settings

In your profile page, look for and tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner. This will open a menu with various options. Scroll down and select Settings.

Step 4: Go to Account Settings

In the Settings menu, scroll down until you find Account. Tap on it to access your account settings.

Step 5: Deactivate Your Account

In the Account settings, scroll down until you find Temporarily deactivate my account. Tap on it to proceed with deactivating your Instagram account.

Once you’ve selected the option to temporarily deactivate your account, Instagram will ask you to provide a reason for deactivating. Choose the appropriate reason from the provided options or select Something else if none of the options apply to you. After selecting your reason, re-enter your password to confirm the deactivation.

Step 6: Confirm Deactivation

After entering your password, tap on Temporarily Deactivate Account. Your Instagram account will now be deactivated, and your profile, photos, comments, and likes will be hidden until you reactivate it.

Note:

If you decide to reactivate your account, simply log back in with your credentials. Reactivating your account is as simple as that!

Deactivating your Instagram account on Android is a quick and easy process that allows you to take a break from social media or step away from Instagram permanently. Remember that deactivating is different from deleting your account entirely. If you’re unsure about permanently deleting your account, deactivation gives you the flexibility to return whenever you’re ready.
