Step 1: Open the Instagram App
Firstly, locate the Instagram app on your mobile device and open it.
Step 2: Access Your Profile
Once the app is launched, tap on the icon resembling a person’s silhouette in the bottom right corner to access your Instagram profile.
Step 3: Go to Settings
In your Instagram profile, locate the three lines icon (also known as the hamburger menu) at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it to open the menu options.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the menu, where you will find the “Settings” option. Tap on it to access your Instagram settings.
Step 4: Disconnect Your Account
Within the settings menu, scroll down until you find the “Logins” section. Tap on the “Logins” option to view the connected accounts.
Here, you will see a list of accounts associated with your Instagram app. Find the account you want to disconnect from and tap on it.
On the next screen, you will find the option to “Remove” or “Disconnect” the account. Tap on this option to disconnect the account from your Instagram app.
Step 5: Confirm Your Decision
Instagram will display a confirmation message asking if you are sure about disconnecting the account. Read the message carefully and tap “OK” or “Confirm” to proceed with the disconnecting process.
Step 6: Account Disconnected!
Congratulations! You have successfully disconnected the Instagram account from your app. The account will no longer be associated with your profile, and you will no longer receive notifications or messages related to that account.
Now you can freely connect to a different Instagram account, if desired, or choose to take a break from using Instagram altogether.
- Pro Tip: If you ever want to connect the same account again, you can easily do so by following the login process from the Instagram login page.
- Note: Disconnecting your Instagram account from the app will not delete the account or its content. Your account information and posts will remain intact; they will simply not be accessible from the disconnected app.
We hope this step-by-step guide has assisted you in disconnecting from an Instagram account. Taking breaks from social media can be refreshing and provide a new perspective. Remember, you have the power to control your online presence!
