[@TrevorNace]

Did this work for you?
Yes? 😀 Give me a shoutout in the comments!
No? 😢 Leave a comment with your problem and we'll figure it out together.

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Yep!

[@blakerabizadeh]

AMAZING! It sucks that Instagram keeps on changing where I’m to find deactivation button, thanks for this video!

[@Miscellaneous_master]

I know!! I need a break from instagram and just want to deactivate for a while

[@iCarroller]

Because they don't want you to

[@christopherlaieta1977]

Because they're pos scumbags

[@skepticbronxqueen5005]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I was getting more stressed trying to find the deactivate button than actually using the app.. lol Thanks again.

[@joshua.olatunji]

Thanks, Trevor! I wonder why Instagram keeps moving the deactivate button around. That's a bit toxic iif you ask me.

[@alu_nessa]

Right

[@vickiwalker3818]

You made it so simple and easy. I’ve watched other videos which kept me going in circles and not able to deactivate. Thank you!!!

[@25UnfilteredwithSinegugu]

Thank you! Short, sweet, and on point!

The only video I came across which was actually Very helpful! Thanks xo!

[@liveandlearn1876]

Thank you so much. I have been trying for months to deactivate my account and finally you helped me. God bless you ❤️❤️

[@jwhubert91]

You are a SAVIOR! Thanks for telling us about the search function. That seems to be the only place to find it. Pro tip: When they ask you why just hit "Something else". Many of the other options try to trick you into keeping your account and don't let you get back to the deactivation screen easily.

[@hajile3560]

Why do people can still message me even I deactivated my account?

[@eshlyn-o9e]

If we have deactivated our account for a long time can we get it back ????

[@kholofelomohatli6834]

Hi Trevor, I managed to deactivate account and a few minutes later it says Account reactivated without me logging in. I can still see my deactivated account, how long does it take till my account no longer shows

[@JRWJ2K]

Thank you! OMG They just like to make it difficult to you. I guess I'm getting old and sometimes is difficult to navigate through the endless menus to cancel or deactivate the account. It's like calling to cancel a credit card :D

[@berkakb]

Thank you, it worked. I wonder is it going to be activated whenever I want, or do I have time to log in again? Scared to make it deleted permanently.

[@Shake95SerbiaRap]

Thank you man
Good video!

Hi Trevor, thanks a lot for this video! Do you know if there's a time limit for the temporary deactivation, after which your account is permanently deleted? I wouldn't want to lose my photos, stories and saved contents. Thanks! Marzia

[@VanessaWilde-sl5pu]

Hi Trevor!
I want to keep my linked newer IG account name. I tried to replace the name I like on top of the old name but it naturally says it’s being used. Can I delete the original account and then the newer account (that I unlinked) will now take over? Or does the original account deleted delete both?

[@queenkada369]

How long can I temporarily deactivate for before losing everything permanently?

[@arshdeepsingh8735]

hey guys, i could really use some advice from u guys, so i have been trying to deactivate my IG account for over a month, it does log me out, but it never actually deactivates my account, as my friends can still see my account and send messages, and still even if i try to do that again, it says i have to wait for over a week, even if it wasnt even actually deactivated in the first olace, so i could really use some input from you guys
Thanks!

[@darriussyiemlieh21]

Same bro any idea to fix that?

[@tayetiwoni]

Same problem

[@denisehoshor5298]

I deactivated mine, in my head apparently for one month. I came back on and apparently everybody could still see everything. So I was the only one it was deactivated for. Lol

[@bksalkrook8716]
