Instagram tries to keep pace with any of the operating systems it works with, so this time it will also comply with the Review Guide requested by the Apple App Store. Now any user can easily delete their Instagram account, all from the iPhone app. It should be noted that this action was fully possible, however it was more complicated to carry out.
Why introduce this option?
The information was provided by TechCrunch. The medium indicates that this social network, part of Meta, now allows users an option to delete or deactivate their Instagram account for iOS. The reason was to comply with the requirements of the Apple App Store review requirements. In the stipulations it happens that all the apps they have to give the user the opportunity to create an account, they also have to grant the function of deleting it whenever they want and within the app.
An Instagram insider made his own statement regarding the official Instagram post where they indicate this important change.
