JAKARTA - Some time ago Meta announced that starting June 30, iOS users can permanently delete Instagram accounts, which previously could only be done on the web.

"Starting June 30, 2022, apps submitted to Stores that support account creation must also allow users to initiate deletion of their accounts within the app," Apple said in a developer blog.

Now, all you need to know is how to do this. Here are the steps you have to do:

Open the Instagram app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the Profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. Now tap on Hamburger menu in the top right corner. Select Settings, followed by Accounts on the next page. On the Accounts page, scroll down and tap Delete Account. On the next page, Instagram will ask you to choose between deactivating your account and deleting it, and the Deactivate Account option will be automatically highlighted. Tap the Delete Account option at the bottom. Instagram will give you one more chance to make sure this is what you want to do. To confirm, tap Continue Deleting Account.

It's worth noting, if you choose to permanently delete your account, you still have 30 days to change that decision. This is in accordance with Apple's guidelines which say that account deletion takes time after initiation.
