How to delete Instagram accounts parammently


Sick of seeing perfect vacation pictures? Break up with Instagram once and for all.Instagram (and social media in general) can be a blessing and a curse. With more than 1 billion users, the photo sharing platform is a great way to keep up with what friends and celebrities you love are doing. But it can be tiring to feel like you have to document everything you do, and the onslaught of "picture-perfect" moments from everyone else's lives can increase anxiety.


 

If Instagram is feeling like a ball and chain, you may be considering getting rid of your account. Follow the instructions below to temporarily disable or permanently delete Instagram.

Keep in mind that once you delete your account, this action can't be undone. All your photos and account history, including followers, likes and comments, will be permanently removed and you won't be able to sign up using the same username if you ever create another account.

If you're uneasy about permanently erasing everything or would rather just take a break from the social network, Instagram has a temporary deactivation option. This allows users to disable their account for a period of time and return to it later, meaning that your profile, photos, videos, comments and likes will be hidden from other users while your account is deactivated and will all reappear when you choose to reactivate it.

Google Maps gains Assistant driving mode, viable alternative to Android Auto app

  Android Auto can be found in many modern vehicle head-units, but if you don’t have a compatible radio, Google provides a standalone app that simulated the experience: an interface that only allows access the most important messaging, music, and calling apps while doing it in a way that minimizes distractions. Last year at Google I/O, the company announced a new driving mode was coming, and its now rolling out to Android users in the US. The new driving mode is kind of like if Android Auto was fused into Google Maps, with an emphasis on Google Assistant. We saw a prompt in Google Maps just before beginning a navigation route that introduced the new interface.

You also get super-simplified music control. The title of the current podcast or song appears here, and there’s ...
