Since its inception, Instagram has garnered a large user base around the world. While most of the users are not getting enough of this photo and video-sharing social networking application, there are some who couldn’t develop the taste for it and wish to do away with the app. If you are also among the users who wish to delete their Instagram account, you can follow the step by step instructions provided below.
Steps to Delete Your Instagram Account
NOTE: Once your Instagram account will be deleted, you will not be able to sign up again using the same username. Also, you will not be able to add that username to another Instagram account. Moreover, in order to delete or disable your Instagram account, you will need to follow the instruction on a computer or mobile browser. You cannot disable or delete your account using Instagram mobile application.
