[@skepticbronxqueen5005]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I was getting more stressed trying to find the deactivate button than actually using the app.. lol Thanks again.

[@beautytamut8749]

The only video I came across which was actually Very helpful! Thanks xo!

[@tanaszn3350]

Man thank you bruh this worked fasho I’m glad you ain’t clickbait like these other channels

[@vickiwalker3818]

You made it so simple and easy. I’ve watched other videos which kept me going in circles and not able to deactivate. Thank you!!!

[@blakerabizadeh]

AMAZING! It sucks that Instagram keeps on changing where I’m to find deactivation button, thanks for this video!

[@Pink_pr1ncess]

I know!! I need a break from instagram and just want to deactivate for a while

[@iCarroller]

Because they don't want you to

[@christopherlaieta1977]

Because they're pos scumbags

[@joshua.olatunji]

Thanks, Trevor! I wonder why Instagram keeps moving the deactivate button around. That's a bit toxic iif you ask me.

[@jwhubert91]

You are a SAVIOR! Thanks for telling us about the search function. That seems to be the only place to find it. Pro tip: When they ask you why just hit "Something else". Many of the other options try to trick you into keeping your account and don't let you get back to the deactivation screen easily.

[@liveandlearn1876]

Thank you so much. I have been trying for months to deactivate my account and finally you helped me. God bless you ❤️❤️

[@sinegugusibisi]

Thank you! Short, sweet, and on point!

Hi Trevor, thanks a lot for this video! Do you know if there's a time limit for the temporary deactivation, after which your account is permanently deleted? I wouldn't want to lose my photos, stories and saved contents. Thanks! Marzia

[@mikeanderson5558]

Thanks man. Great video got to the point

[@poonamjangra]

oh thank you very much for the on-point video.

Thanks! NEw update scambled everything up and this video really helped!

[@ashianarizal]

Thank you for this video! It got right to the point.

[@JRWJ2K]

Thank you! OMG They just like to make it difficult to you. I guess I'm getting old and sometimes is difficult to navigate through the endless menus to cancel or deactivate the account. It's like calling to cancel a credit card :D

[@user-zh4mw6ef2r]

Thank you! So effective and easy.

Hi Trevor, I managed to deactivate account and a few minutes later it says Account reactivated without me logging in. I can still see my deactivated account, how long does it take till my account no longer shows

[@berkakb]

Thank you, it worked. I wonder is it going to be activated whenever I want, or do I have time to log in again? Scared to make it deleted permanently.

[@genghislad6195]

Thanks for the help, I don't know why instagram hides that

[@Fury.999]

Very useful, thanks❤

[@lostsoulz1]

Thanks bruh it's so easy man

[@damir_ko]

Thank you 👍 helpful video. Why do they hide this from an edit profile topic. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@VanessaWilde-sl5pu]

Hi Trevor!
I want to keep my linked newer IG account name. I tried to replace the name I like on top of the old name but it naturally says it’s being used. Can I delete the original account and then the newer account (that I unlinked) will now take over? Or does the original account deleted delete both?

[@PrabhuKeshri]
