Introduction
Instagram is a social media app that works on smartphones and computers. It allows its users to share photos and short videos with other users, launched in 2011 and owned by Facebook in 2012 with a $1 billion deal in addition to shares.

You can be freed from this feeling by resorting to one of two ways in which they can get rid of an Instagram account, namely, delete the account once and for all with all the data on it, or close it down.
The account is temporarily and partially disabled, then returned to it if the user wishes, and using the same registration data.
