Are you finding it challenging to concentrate on your studies due to constant Instagram notifications? Do you feel trapped in a vicious cycle of scrolling through reels and watching influencers’ study vlogs instead of hitting the books? It’s time to take control and break free from this destructive pattern.
The solution is simple: deactivate your Instagram account. Instagram only allows you to deactivate your account once a week. Frustrating, right? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with a foolproof method to bypass this rule.
Here’s how you can deactivate Instagram account without waiting a week:
- Delete your Instagram account instead of deactivating it
- Instagram provides a 30-day buffer period after you initiate the deletion process
- Your account remains hidden from public view during this time
- Reactivate your account within the 30-day window to avoid losing it permanently
Now, let’s explore the difference between deactivating and deleting your Instagram account:
Deactivate Instagram account:
- Temporarily hides your likes, comments, and profile photos
- Everything becomes visible again once you reactivate your account
- Easy to reactivate by simply logging back in
Delete Instagram account:
- Permanently removes your account, including photos, comments, likes, followers, and followings
- Account disappears from the digital world and cannot be restored after the 30-day period
