How To Delete Instagram Account (New 2026 Update)
Description: Here's how to permanently delete your Instagram account with the new 2026 layout.
Instagram keeps moving the delete option around in its settings and Accounts Center, so this shows a foolproof way to reach the deletion page with a quick settings search.
You'll choose permanent deletion instead of deactivation, get the chance to download your data first, and learn about the one-month window where logging back in recovers your account.
Shown on iPhone, and the same steps work in the Instagram app on Android.
