How To Deactivate Instagram Account Temporarily And Activate Again

Описание: Need a break from the scroll? 📱🧘‍♂️ In this 2026 updated tutorial, I show you exactly how to temporarily deactivate your Instagram account and—more importantly—how to activate it again when you’re ready to return.

I’ll walk you through the new Meta Accounts Center layout, which has changed where the deactivation settings live. I’ll also explain the "Once a Week" rule and show you how to ensure your data stays safe while you're away. Whether you're on an iPhone, Android, or PC, this is the most current step-by-step guide for a digital detox.

💡 Step-by-Step Instructions:
How to Deactivate (iPhone & Android)
Open Instagram Tap your Profile icon.

Tap the Three Lines (Menu) Settings and privacy.

Tap Accounts Center (at the very top).

Go to Personal details, Account ownership and control.

Tap Deactivation or deletion and select your account.

Select Deactivate account and tap Continue.

Enter your password and select a reason.

Pro-Tip: If you don't want to come back in exactly 7 days, make sure to change the "Automatically reactivate" setting to "Don't reactivate automatically."

How to Activate Again
Simply open the Instagram app or go to Instagram.com.

Log in using your Username (or email/phone) and Password.

That's it! Logging in automatically restores your entire profile, including your photos, followers, and messages, exactly as you left them.

⚠️ Pro-Tip for 2026:
Instagram only allows you to deactivate your account once every 7 days. If you reactivate your account and immediately decide you want to go back into hiding, you’ll have to wait a full week before the deactivation option becomes available again. Also, remember that deactivating Instagram will also deactivate your Threads profile if they are linked!
