Has your Gram been giving you a headache lately?
No, not your grandma (although your answer may be the same). We’re talking about Instagram. Maybe you want a break from the constant, almost addictive urge to scroll through the feed and see what everybody’s doing all of the time.
How to see your oldest comments on Instagram
You’ll be happy to know you can temporarily disable your account (we should note this is separate from permanently deleting your account). By disabling your account, you can take your break, remove the temptation for a bit, and come back whenever you’re ready. Instagram will let you re-enable your account.
To disable your Instagram, follow these steps:
1. Log into your Instagram profile on a computer (not through the app on your phone)
2. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and select “Profile” from the dropdown menu

4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click “Temporarily disable my account”

5. You’ll then be asked to select a reason why you’re disabling your account (you can’t skip this part)
6. Enter your password when prompted
7. Click “Temporarily disable my account”
Your account will be temporarily disabled. But as we said, when you’re ready, just come back and re-enable it. No worries. Enjoy the Insta vacation.
