    The other day I tried making a google account for an assignment my prof wanted (bro wanted presentation to be specifically on google slides and video uploaded on youtube). Google now required you to have a physical smartphone to make an account, you have to press a button that sends some kind of api that sends google an sms from your phone.

    So I just told my friend to upload it for me

      That’s some bullshit. Google Classroom should be included by the district if they want you to use Google apps.

    That’s something to do while we still can, Instagram doesn’t let me delete my own account :/ Tried reaching the support multiple times, I’ve been completely ignored

    Congratulations. Starting this year i got rid of facebook account but not completely because messenger is probably most popular messaging app in my country for some reason but still it is a great feeling

    have been deleted

    recover

    🙄

    At least write “is scheduled to be deleted” to make the lie not as obvious.

      I assume that the account is not usable after this. So it is a logical delete and the physical delete is scheduled. I don’t know what would be a better way to phrase it, that would not confuse the users.

      I am not trying to defend google, I just had similar UX issues at work.

          Could be, but it’s more likely that the delete gets put into a message queue and gets processed when the deletion service can handle it. These large deletions are computationally expensive.

          Its similar to why the exports take so long to process
