If you decide to take a break from social media networks, you might want to know how to remove your Instagram account from the app. Bear in mind that this is different than deleting your Instagram account. You are essentially removing it from your phone or tablet. Luckily, Instagram removal is a relatively straightforward process. This article provides you with a detailed, step-by-step guide on removing your Instagram account from your iPhone or Android Instagram app. How to Remove an Instagram Account from the iPhone AppRemoving an account from the Instagram app on iPhone is simple and only takes a few steps. Instagram allows you to have up to five accounts and switch among them without logging out. You can easily remove one of the accounts from the phone at any time. As previously mentioned, It’s important to note that removing an Instagram account isn’t the same as deleting it. It won’t show up on your phone anymore when you remove it, but you can still log back in anytime you want. Also, other people can still see your account once you remove it from your profile, mainly because the account is still active. If you have one or more Instagram accounts on your iPhone and you want to remove one, follow the steps below:
By following the steps listed above, you ensure that Instagram doesn’t remember the account info on your device. Now, you can repeat the steps mentioned above to log out. As previously mentioned, your Instagram account is now removed from your device but remains an active account. Therefore, you can log back in anytime by entering your username and password again. Regardless, people can still search for your Instagram profile and view it when you delete it from your smartphone because you still have the account.

To temporarily disable your Instagram account, you have to log in using a computer or a mobile browser.
Now, your existing Instagram account (not a profile on your phone) is disabled. Nobody can view your profile, posts, comments, likes, or anything related to your Instagram account until you enable it again by logging in from any device.
