Will deleting your Instagram account also delete your Instagram messages from both sides? No, the other person will still see your messages, but you will lose the ability to delete them. Use UnSendAll to delete your DMs from both sides before account deletion.

If you've looked up articles on How To Delete Instagram, you've probably wondered - will deleting your Instagram account also delete the Instagram messages associated with your account?
Unfortunately the answer is no. Upon deleting your Instagram account your messages will still be present in the inbox of the person you sent your messages to, the only difference is that your profile picture will be removed, and your name will say "Instagram User". The worst part is that deleting your account will also remove your ability to delete your messages from both sides permanently.
If you want the message content of a message you sent to be deleted from your side, and the other person's you must unsend all of your Instagram messages with them.
Instagram only allows a user to unsend Instagram messages one by one, so we created UnSendAll.
With UnSendAll, you can unsend all your Instagram messages before deleting your account, making sure that your messages, along with your Instagram account are both deleted, once and for all.
