Deleting an Instagram account does not automatically delete messages from the recipient’s inbox. Messages will remain visible to others unless they choose to delete them. If you want messages removed from both sides, consider manually deleting them before your account deletion or asking the recipient to delete the conversation. Remember, account deletion is irreversible, and recovering messages afterward won't be possible.
