Instagram has added a much-anticipated feature specifically for iOS / iPhone users. Despite being one of the most popular apps in the world, Facebook is pretty slow to update Instagram. It often takes months, sometimes years, to add basic and demand functions. And to be fair to Instagram, this is how most social networking apps work (just ask all Twitter users about the edit button). That said, today the long wait for an Instagram feature is finally over.
Facebook has released a new social media app update to ensure that the app complies with Apple’s App Store guidelines, which dictate that all apps require an account removal option. In other words, you can now delete your account directly from the app, something you couldn’t do before.
Why is this option only added now? Well, we don’t know why Instagram has chosen to never add it before, but it probably has something to do with the fact that it doesn’t want to make it easy to delete your account. Now seems like a random time to reverse this philosophy, but it’s not your choice, as Apple gave all apps a June 30, 2022 deadline to add an account deletion option if a creation of an account is offered. account.
Prior to this update, Instagram users on iOS had to use the web browser version of the social networking site to delete their accounts. Of course, most people use Instagram exclusively through the app, so this was never very convenient. Again, this was probably by design.
If you decide to delete your account, a 30-day grace period will be activated in case you can change your mind. In other words, your account will not be completely deleted until 30 days after it was initially deleted.
