Archiving an Instagram account directly through the app is not an available feature. However, you can archive posts individually by going to the post, clicking on the three dots above it, and selecting 'Archive.' If you want to deactivate your account temporarily, go to your profile on a desktop browser, select 'Edit Profile,' and choose 'Temporarily disable my account.'
