Lana Del Rey has made her Instagram account private multiple times, citing a need for privacy and a desire to take a break from social media. In June 2021, she announced that she would be deleting all of her social media accounts, including Instagram, because she needed "privacy and transparency" . However, she has since created a new Instagram account that is currently public. It is unclear why she has made her Instagram account private in the past, but it may be related to her desire for privacy or to avoid negative comments and criticism on social media.
