Time out: Louis Tomlinson's ex Briana Jungwirth has deleted her Instagram account
Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, she wrote: 'Taking a break from @Instagram due to obvious privacy concerns.'
Despite deleting the tweet some time later, the brunette beauty - who regularly posts selfies and snaps of her darling son - has since had her Instagram page removed from the popular platform.
Her commitment to stay off Instagram comes after her account was mysterious hacked last week and taken over by an unknown user, who posted a series of screenshots.
The hacker wrote in a short message: 'I hacked her to show her she needs to be careful with her Instagram account. Believe it or not I'm actually helping her a lot now she knows that she can't just put her information anywhere.'

Hitting back: Later regaining control of her account, Briana took to Twitter to hit back at her hacker
Later regaining control of her account, Briana took to Twitter to hit back at her hacker: 'You seriously have nothing better to do than hack an innocent mother's Instagram. You are sick.'
Her deactivated account comes after her stepfather threatened the owner of several One Direction fan sites with a lawsuit.
TMZ reports Brett Clark sent a letter to a woman who runs several websites for the band, alleging she has posted 'lies' about Briana, Louis and their baby son Freddie.
Clark apparently alleges the woman has called Briana a 'gold digger' as well as 'insulted her hair' and made untrue suggestions as to Freddie's parentage.

However, the woman has countered that Clark is the 'harasser' in the case and she has a right to express her opinion.
Briana has suffered prior Internet vitriol from a section of One Direction fans following the birth of Freddie Reign in January 2016.
Last month, she hit back at trolls who made vindictive comments following the end of her relationship with Jayk Purdy.
Defending herself at those labelling her an 'attention seeker' and 'delusional' she wrote: 'Some of u are so mean. u don't know my story u just think u do. if u don't truly know someone, give them a chance. surely u'll be surprised.
Social media silence: Despite deleting the tweet some time later, the brunette beauty's Instagram page has since been removed from the popular platform.

'People assume so much of my life. its crazy how much u don't know. I have so much respect for all of u cause I don't know what u go through,' she added.
Briana went public with the singer at the beginning of November, posting multiple Instagrams of the pair together.
However, the relationship swiftly turned sour, with the star revealing the end of the romance in a brief tweet last week: 'Wow to think you were someone special. my bad! you’re beyond f***ed up!' she wrote.
'Never have I been played that bad. #stayingsingle.'
