FAQs

1. What happens when I delete my Instagram account?

You'll no longer log into your Instagram app, but anyone who has saved your photos can still see them in their feeds. Your photos will still exist on the website and other platforms (like Facebook). Therefore, if you want to remove all traces of yourself from the internet, you'll need to make sure you've deleted any posts from these other sites too.

2. Will I lose all my photos if I delete my account?

No—you can download a backup of all your photos from your Settings page before deleting your account. If you're worried about losing content, we recommend downloading it as soon as possible.

3. How do I know if someone has unfollowed me?

You'll see an alert on the top left corner of the app when someone unfollows you, but this doesn't happen immediately. It usually takes at least 24 hours for Instagram to detect that someone has unfollowed you, although it can sometimes take longer than that.

4. How long does it take for my Instagram account to disappear?

It depends on how many followers you have. If you have more than 7500 followers, it will take up to a week for your account to be deleted entirely from Instagram's servers. If you have less than 7500 followers, your account should only take about an hour to disappear.
