How to Deactivate Instagram Account (2025 METHOD)

If you want to take a break from Instagram without deleting your profile permanently, deactivating your account is the best option. This 2025 method will show you how to do it step-by-step, and you can reactivate your account anytime by simply logging back in.

Start by opening your *browser* (since the Instagram app doesn’t allow deactivation directly). Go to the *Instagram website* and *log in* with your username and password. Once you’re signed in, click on your *profile picture* in the top-right corner and select **Settings**.

Next, scroll down and find the *Temporarily Deactivate My Account* option. It’s usually located under the *Edit Profile* section. Click on it, and Instagram will take you to the deactivation page.

Instagram will then ask you to select a *reason* for deactivating your account — pick any option that fits, such as “Too busy/too distracting” or “Need a break.” After selecting a reason, enter your *password* again to confirm your choice.

Finally, click **Temporarily Deactivate Account**, and your Instagram profile will be hidden from everyone. All your photos, likes, comments, and followers will remain saved, and you can reactivate the account anytime by logging in again.

That’s it! You’ve successfully deactivated your Instagram account using the quick and simple 2025 method.
