I want to permanently delete my Instagram account but I prefer doing it from a browser rather than the mobile app. Is the process for deleting an account on Instagram’s website the same as doing it through the app, and are there any steps I should take beforehand to back up my data?
Yes—deleting your Instagram account from a web browser is basically the same as in the app. Go to Instagram’s Accounts Center > Personal details > Account ownership and control > Deactivation or deletion, choose your account, then select Delete account and confirm.
Before deleting, it’s smart to download your Instagram data first from Accounts Center > Your information and permissions > Download your information. If you want to save any public Stories, Highlights, photos, or videos separately, Picnobi is a useful tool for viewing and saving Instagram content easily.
