Deactivating or deleting a social media account can seem like a very easy thing to do. All you have to do is confirm you are deactivating or deleting your account, and the account will be disabled temporarily or permanently deleted according to your choice, right? Wrong. 

It is rather common for us to expect that our request for deactivating or deleting our account will go through immediately after we have correctly entered all necessary information required and will not be reactivated until we do so ourselves. However, it can be exasperating when those expectations go down the drain due to the platform’s rules and regulations. You do not get the pop message saying that your account has been deactivated or deleted accordingly you were expecting. 

We sometimes have to wait, for example, a week or so, to deactivate our account. This is the case with deleting your accounts on Instagram's ever-so-popular social media platform.

The people’s favourite photo and video-sharing social networking service became popular and well-known amongst people very quickly and, to this date, continues to climb the ladder of fame. As such, the social networking service takes many precautions to ensure its users' safety and security.

Hence, there are some restrictions in place regarding deactivating an Instagram account. It is probably because they wish to keep their site free from spamming and suspicious activities. As users of the platform, regardless of whether it is just Instagram or not, it is usually favourable for us to abide by the platform's rules and regulations since we agreed to follow its terms and conditions.

How to Deactivate Instagram Account 2 Times in A Week?

There are many reasons why you might want to deactivate your Instagram account. One of the most common reasons happens to be the need to focus on more significant things in your life, such as studying for upcoming exams, directing all of your attention on a new, potentially profitable business endeavour or maybe you just wish to take a break from social media for a little while. 

As mentioned previously, Instagram restricts the deactivation process of its users’ accounts. For instance, it happens to one of the social media platforms where once you have deactivated and then reactivated your account, you will have to wait at least a week from the reactivation date to deactivate your account again. So how exactly can you deactivate your Instagram account twice a week?
