How to permanently delete Instagram account from iPhone using official Instagram app or web browser.
Account deletion and deactivation
Deleting an Instagram account is a permanent, irreversible action. However, if you just want to take a break from Instagram without losing your posts, you can temporarily disable your account. Deactivating an Instagram account does not delete photos, videos, clips, comments, likes, etc., but temporarily hides them. This means that they will not be visible until you reactivate your account by logging in with your username and password. You can also just download the Instagram app to reduce the irritation.
