Day-to-day social networks increase their number of users worldwide for all the services they offer both in performance, compatibility, scope, functions and other elements that attract the attention of users. But despite all the good that a social network offers, we know very well that it can become a cause of problems of various kinds, which is why in many cases the most correct solution is to deactivate our account of said social network . In this case we will talk about one of the most used social networks today such as Instagram..
Instagram allows its millions of users to edit and upload photos or short videos either through the mobile application or the browser and share it with thousands of users worldwide. While it is true that we can keep our account private so that only those users that we decide can access it, it is possible that for certain reasons we have considered how we can deactivate or delete our account.
Note
To deactivate your Instagram account you must do it through the web browser of your mobile or PC and not from the mobile application.
