Instagram now allows the public an account deletion feature to permanently remove their social media accounts on the iOS platform directly for the iPhones. It prevents the people from the need to go to web browsers to access the account deletion page, as it was unavailable before.
Apple App Store's new guidelines requested this from many platforms that presented a June 30 deadline.

Instagram now allows the public to delete their accounts straight from their iOS devices, and it is a part of Apple's recent App Store Guidelines that request this from developers. The company said that this is the compliance that companies would have to make so that it may remain on the Apple App Store or face a ban from the platform.
Apple gave app developers until June 30 to add this feature, part of its data collection and storage, among its legal clause under the guidelines. Deleting an Instagram account before this requires the public to use a PC's browser to continue with their needs.
Users may still use the Instagram Permanent Account Deletion via the browser for their requests to remove them from the social media platform.

How to Delete Your Instagram Account via iOS
Users need to update their Instagram app to the latest version to have the "Delete Account" feature available on their iOS devices. Instead of the many options to click on before account deletion or a temporary deactivation, users may now head to their Profiles, choose the Settings, click Accounts, and scroll to the Delete Account option for their needs.
Instagram and its Features
One of the latest features that Instagram is allowing the public to use is the "disappearing" messages for its DMs, and it would help the public automatically remove sent messages for their needs. Meta is updating Instagram regularly and offers different features for users to enjoy, allowing them to achieve a lot via the application.
It also has this new Age Verification tool that will help the public get more from the company, allowing everyone to verify their age when creating an account correctly. It is accurate, says initial reports, but some claim that its partner in the tool, Yoti, faces different disputes for the not-so-average looking person.
Meta has a massive plan for Instagram to be the go-to application for all multimedia needs, particularly with its recent adoption of Reels that allow vertical short video content.
Now, the latest offer of the company complies with the App Store guidelines that require the developers to provide a way for people to delete their accounts without computers. It will allow people to do this with the mobile device easily, and it helps settle disputes instead of needing a new device to continue with its deletion.
