Instagram isn't what it used to be. It is not only about photos, but a significant part of the content consists of videos and also advertisements. If you are also annoyed by how far this network, which like Facebook or WhatsApp is owned by Meta, has reached, you can cancel it. So here you will learn how to delete Instagram account.
The Instagram app has appeared in the company's App Store Apple on October 6, 2010, in Google's Google Play store, then on April 3, 2012. Right after that, on April 9, 2012, Facebook (now Meta) CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to acquire Instagram for an estimated $1 billion. For a while, it kept its original intention, but in an effort to keep up with the competition, it gradually added the functions of Snapchat as well as TikTok, and now it is, let's face it, about anything but photos. If you're tired of it, you can easily delete your account - temporarily or permanently.
