IT'S good to take a break from social media every now and then.
You could decide to permanently delete your account, but if you simply need a breather and want to come back to Instagram at some point in the future, here are the steps to follow.
With over two billion subscribers across the world, Instagram is one of the most popular social media networking sites in the world.
The platform allows its users to share pictures with their followers, whilst engaging a conversation.
But over time, some subscribers may want to take a break from having an Instagram profile.
Here we take you through the steps to deactivate your account:
You can keep your Instagram account deactivated for as long as you like.
There's no time restriction.
Once you've done it, your profile along with all your pictures and posts will be hidden.
Friends won’t be able to contact you over the app and even your profile URL will draw a blank.
But if you change your mind, not to worry, you can reactivate your account by simply logging back in on the app.
As a rule of thumb, Instagram will ask you to wait at least 24 hours before reactivating your profile as it takes some time to process your request.
Make sure you disable your account rather than delete, otherwise you only have 30 days to bring it back from the dead before your profile is lost forever.
Even though your profile is hidden or deleted, it does mean Instagram does still have your personal data.
If this is what you’re worried about, you have to contact the company directly and ask them to delete it.
You can't deactivate your Instagram account temporarily on a mobile.
Instead you can do it via a web browser.
Here are the steps that you need to take:
