The following are issues that customers reported to GetHuman about Instagram customer service, archive #316. It includes a selection of 20 issue(s) reported February 28, 2022 onward. If you have a similar customer service issue, this page will help you find current, up-to-date answers and solutions.
I manage the corporate Instagram and Facebook accounts for BVO BEACH MOVEMENT, which were created in [redacted] when the company was established. Recently, when logging into my Instagram account, I was prompted to enter my date of birth. Mistakenly, I entered the company's founding date instead of my own birth year. This led to my account being blocked as I did not meet the minimum age requirement.
I followed the instructions provided to dispute this issue, but encountered a bug preventing me from proceeding. Contacting Facebook and Instagram support did not yield any solutions as there are no direct contacts available. I am reaching out for assistance as this account block is adversely affecting my work in communication.
If anyone knowledgeable in this area can offer advice or help resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Losing access to this account would be detrimental. Your support and guidance are valued, and I am open to compensating for your assistance.
Thank you for considering my request.

I have access to the password, email, and phone number, but the issue is that I am not receiving the SMS code, or when I do, it automatically logs me into a different account linked to the same number. It also asks for backup codes, but I don't have them available at the moment. The last time I accessed my account was on 28.02.[redacted]. I lost access because I noticed that there was an attempt to log into my account from another device, so I removed all active sessions from my account settings. As a result, I logged out from my device and couldn't log back in. I used the number [redacted]2 to register the account pltnkvlr and the email @[redacted] I used an iPhone for registration.

My Instagram account, _brandi_nvsa_, was hacked. I have reported it and had others report it, but unfortunately, nothing has happened so far. The hacker changed all my personal information, making it impossible for me to log in. They are sending fraudulent messages about investing money to scam my followers. Instagram help doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong. To me, it is impersonation and fraud. I want the account to be taken down as soon as possible. I've had that account since [redacted] and gone through several life changes with it. The account was originally probably_sleeping, then thriving_n0t_serviving, and now _brandi_nvsa_. The hacker changed the personal information to theirs. It is essential to remove the account as someone is pretending to be me to harm others.

Bonjour à tous,
Je travaille pour l'UMIH38 et je gère l'association des Maîtres Restaurateurs de l'Isère. J'ai récemment créé un compte Instagram pour améliorer notre visibilité, mais j'ai découvert qu'un autre compte avait été créé avant le mien. J'ai essayé de contacter cette personne, mais je n'ai pas reçu de réponse. Malheureusement, je n'arrive pas à signaler ce compte via Instagram. Pourriez-vous me guider sur les démarches à suivre dans cette situation ?
Voici les détails :
Mon compte : maitres.restaurateurs.38
Message envoyé au compte existant : Bonjour, l'UMIH38 représente désormais l'association des Maîtres Restaurateurs de l'Isère. Malheureusement, je n'arrive pas à trouver les codes Instagram associés à votre compte. Pourriez-vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème ? Merci et belle journée. Adeline Rochet pour l'UMIH38
Je reste disponible pour toute information supplémentaire.
Cordialement,
Adeline Rochet

Dear Sir,
I am writing to you because my account under the name of Mian Usman has been disabled by the community. I am confident that I did not violate any of your rules and regulations. I deeply respect you and your community guidelines. I believe there may have been a mistake, so I kindly request you to review my account promptly and reactivate my Facebook account. It is essential for me as I have linked it to other social media platforms such as PUBG Mobile and Instagram, as well as many apps downloaded from the Play Store.
I remember following all your rules diligently, yet my account was disabled. I urge you to review my account swiftly and update your reporting system for accuracy.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Shamsad Ali

I need assistance. I have fallen victim to a phishing scam. Someone I trusted messaged me about winning $1,[redacted] from their company. They asked for my PayPal email and phone number to send the money. After receiving a code, they had me take a screenshot and make a video promoting a company called cookie_fx. Once I completed the tasks, I was locked out of my account, which has now been hacked. The hacker posted the video on my profile, and I am unable to regain access. I've tried resetting my password, but I can't get past the authentication code step. I've also attempted to reset via email, but my email has been changed. Your urgent help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am reaching out to inform you that I temporarily deactivated my Instagram account at the beginning of the year but have been unable to log back in despite numerous attempts over two months. When I try to log in, I receive messages about unusual login attempts and am asked to verify my account by sending a security code. I have tried to receive the code on both my phone ([redacted]) and my email ([redacted]) associated with my account, but every code I enter results in an error message. I have attempted to reset my password through the "forgot password" link, but encountered glitches where my account information is not found. Even when trying to log in with Facebook, I face similar issues with codes not working. I have reached out to Instagram for help but have only received automated responses directing me to their help center. I am confused and frustrated by this situation and would appreciate any assistance in regaining access to my account.

My Instagram account @cyrodiilic_mess was hacked due to phishing. Another user I had interacted with claimed to be locked out of their Facebook account and sent me a link to help with verification. I unknowingly fell for the scam and shared the link, granting them access to my account. The hacker changed the account details to @cyrodiilic_mess1 and made it private. I've tried Instagram's recovery process without success. I have proof of ownership and witnesses who can attest to it. I hope Instagram can log out all current sessions so only I can regain access using my email and phone number.

Subject: Issue with Instagram Account
Hello Instagram Support Team,
I am reaching out to report an issue with my Instagram account. A few days ago, I received a notification that my account was compromised due to potentially sharing my password to gain likes or followers, which violates the Community Guidelines. I attempted to change my password, but unfortunately, I forgot it and was unable to proceed.
I want to clarify that I did not engage in any activities related to acquiring likes or followers through unauthorized services. I believe this situation is unjust.
Please advise on how I can resolve this matter promptly.
Thank you,
Jawad

This morning, I received an email alerting me to unauthorized access to my account at 7:50am. Later, a friend messaged me about a job opportunity, asking for my number and a screenshot of an Instagram link. Unfortunately, after complying, I lost access to my account. My friend confirmed her account was also compromised and did not send me any messages. By 4pm, my username, phone number, and password were changed by the hacker. Trying to reclaim my account has been futile as all the information has been altered. It's evident the hacker is now in control, replying to messages as if they were me, and even blocking those who question their intentions. All I have left is my email for verification purposes, but even that cannot reset my account due to the changes made by the hacker.

On Sunday, 27th February around 9:40 am, my Instagram account was hacked without my knowledge. After driving from San Diego to Los Angeles, I was contacted by friends asking about Bitcoin messages they received from me. When I tried to log in, my Instagram account, Kathy_byron, was gone. The hacker changed my email and added a dual security measure. Despite multiple attempts and video verifications, I have not been able to recover my account. My email is [redacted], and the new email belongs to the hacker. I am requesting Instagram to investigate and clear any changes made by the hacker, restore my access, and address the fraudulent activity.

Hello, my name is Marlene Gurgis. I would like assistance in recovering or removing my account, originally named marlenegurgis, which was maliciously taken over by a hacker and renamed marlenegurgis1. The hacker has linked their email and phone number to my account, subsequently using it to harass my friends and engage in scam activities. Instagram has not been responsive to my reports. This individual has been sending harmful links that have resulted in some of my acquaintances getting hacked. Additionally, they posted an inappropriate picture of me. Following this incident, my phone number ([redacted]) and email ([redacted]) are no longer associated with my account. The hacker's account is under the name bengiegeneral, as they have taken control of my account by changing the username to theirs after verifying it with their information.

I received unsolicited communication from a person on Tinder who then contacted me through Snapchat and shared old photos from my Instagram. This individual later asked for inappropriate images, which I declined, leading me to block them. Subsequently, they messaged me from another account requesting the same. In response, I provided a fake image. Now, this person is attempting to extort money from me to prevent them from sending this fake image to people I know on Instagram. I seek assistance in identifying this individual, their location, and ensuring the removal of my content from their possession. Moreover, I would appreciate it if their account could be deleted, and the photo they possess be removed from Instagram. I urgently need to resolve this matter and would be grateful for any help.

Hello! I need assistance with my Facebook Ads account. I am attempting to connect my Instagram account to my Facebook Ads account. However, I encountered an issue where my Instagram account was temporarily locked for alleged phishing activity. Despite not recalling sharing my credentials anywhere, my account got locked.
I am unable to access the primary email linked to my account due to a prior hack. Although I have a backup email on file, there is no option to use it for verification purposes, preventing me from accessing the necessary link.
I can provide proof of identity, such as an ID card, to verify that I am the legitimate account owner and can even undergo facial recognition tests.
I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Dear Instagram/Facebook Support Team,
My Instagram account was disabled 12 days ago without any explanation. I want to clarify that I have not engaged in any misconduct. Recently, my Facebook account was compromised, and since both accounts are linked, it is possible that the hacker disabled my Instagram. I have been dedicated to this account for 5 years, and it holds sentimental value to me. I promise to take better precautions with my account going forward and adhere to all platform policies.
Kind regards,
K.

I recently encountered an issue with my Instagram account. After receiving a pop-up about suspicious activity, I provided my phone number and tried to log back in. Unfortunately, I now receive a "user not found" message. Despite my attempts to contact support, the problem remains unresolved. As a model, my Instagram is crucial for showcasing my work, and I am concerned about the disappearance of my content. It seems unjust that my account may have been deleted without clear reason, especially considering the harmless nature of my posts compared to others'. I urge Instagram to address this promptly and restore access to my account.

Hello, my name is Ismaela Gutiérrez, but everyone calls me Mae for Is(MAE)la. I have been on Instagram for many years without any infractions. I have never purchased followers or comments. My account holds precious memories from secondary school, and I am not a bot, as evidenced by the attached JPEG photo. I am kindly asking for your support as I believe my account was wrongly suspended. As a 17-year-old girl, I rely on it to promote perfume and skincare products in my stories to earn some money. I hope for your understanding since I value my account and the opportunities it provides. I look forward to your response. Thank you very much.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have just realized that I am unable to log in to my Instagram account.
My account name is kiss.anabel.
I suspect the following:
A few weeks ago, I created the account with my (ex) boyfriend, so he also knows all the data. We have now separated on bad terms. I suspect that he has changed all the data of my account so that I no longer have access, possibly as a way to get back at me.
I kindly ask you to check what has happened to my account and if possible, restore it. I am now very desperate as this is a significant loss for me, as I use Instagram intensively, maintain my social contacts there, and they expect daily content from me. I really want to have my Instagram account back.
If you need any further information, I am happy to provide it.
Best regards,
Anabel Kiss

Dear GetHuman staff,
I am reaching out to seek help as I am unable to recover my account after it was compromised by a hacker who changed the phone number, email, and username associated with it. The only access I have is to my original email at [redacted] I am willing to take any necessary steps to regain control or identify my account.
The hacker, who I suspect is Chinese, has been using my account to target more victims by sending out spammy direct messages promoting a bitcoin scheme to my friends and followers. Despite attempts to reach out to him, he has blocked me and my friends. I have also tried contacting Instagram Help Center with no success.
I hope for a prompt response from your end.
Thank you for your assistance.
