Hello, I'm reaching out for assistance as my Instagram account was hacked 2 months ago. The hacker changed my profile to private, and even though my email address remains the same, I am unable to take any action as I can't access my account. I have multiple accounts linked to the same email address, but I primarily use just two. One is for experimental purposes before posting on my main account. I'm eager to reclaim my photography account and connect with the people I interacted with. The hacked profile is under the username plazma__667. Despite my efforts, I haven't been successful in recovering it. The hacker enabled a verification code that is sent to their phone number, making it impossible for me to regain access. Face recognition videos have also been unsuccessful. Most of my posts are related to architecture rather than photos of my face, making it challenging to verify my identity. It's disheartening not being able to share new content and engage with others. I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Hello! I am having trouble accessing the Instagram app. I've tried deleting and re-downloading it through the App Store. My profile is @kati_kaoshiki. For the past two days, I keep getting an error message saying, "Page Not Available Right Now. It could be due to a technical issue that we are working to fix. Try refreshing the page." Even after refreshing the page, the same message persists. Yesterday, I created a new account @dava_pro87 but mistakenly entered the birthdate as 02.08.[redacted]. The support team responded saying I'm under 13 and blocked me. I tried sending a photo of my passport, but it was not accepted. They asked me to upload it again, but I can't access the app at all to do so or prove that I am over 18 years old. I've tried reinstalling the app and restarting my phone. What should I do?

I recently discovered that my Instagram account was unexpectedly disabled. I typically use the platform to stay updated on school news and connect with friends. When attempting to create a new account through Facebook, I received a message stating that my email address is already linked to an existing account. I am troubled by the lack of notice or explanation for the disablement by Meta, and it has made me anxious about using Facebook for similar reasons. I kindly request assistance in reactivating my account or guidance on creating a new one.

Hello, my name is Oakley Wheeler. I have been using Instagram for quite some time now. Recently, when I tried to log in, I received a notification that my account is temporarily locked. I was puzzled as I have not violated any community guidelines. I later discovered that using a third-party app to track lost followers is prohibited. I promptly removed the app and its data. Despite my efforts, I have not yet received a code to unlock my account. I would appreciate any assistance to resolve this issue. Thank you.

Il y a environ deux semaines, j'ai créé un compte Instagram avec mon numéro de téléphone. Le premier compte que j'ai créé était gael.philippon. Lorsque j'ai essayé de continuer mon inscription avec ce compte, une erreur s'est produite et tout s'est arrêté. Je suis alors retourné sur la page d'inscription et j'ai changé mon identifiant en gael_philippon. Ce compte s'est créé avec succès, j'ai donc commencé à l'utiliser en ajoutant une photo de profil et une publication. Le lendemain, j'ai tenté de me connecter à ce compte et je n'ai pas réussi. En utilisant mon numéro de téléphone pour me connecter, je me suis retrouvé sur le compte gael.philippon. J'ai essayé de récupérer le compte gael_philippon en demandant un changement de mot de passe, mais je suis redirigé automatiquement vers le compte gael.philippon. Je souhaite récupérer ou supprimer le compte gael.philippon pour continuer à utiliser Instagram avec le compte gael_philippon ou un autre. Puis-je devoir supprimer gael.philippon pour accéder à gael_philippon à nouveau ?

My account has been hacked. The hacker posted a picture and a story. I found an email in the account that wasn't mine, and there is another email set as the recovery mail, which the hacker changed. The hacker contacted me on WhatsApp, wanting me to send a link for recovery, but I don't trust him. I tried to recover using my phone number. I received a six-digit code, but the next step is asking for another six-digit code that I didn't receive. The face recognition video isn't working. I tried calling +1 [redacted] and all the numbers, also emailed [redacted], but no assistance. Who can help?

I am facing a peculiar issue. Here is a brief overview of my problem: I am unable to access my Instagram account after it was deactivated due to logging in simultaneously on both my PC and mobile. On the same day as the deactivation, I changed my email address which was linked to the account as it was no longer valid. Whenever I try to log into my deactivated Instagram account, I receive a verification code on the old email address instead of the updated one. Although Instagram acknowledges my new email as a replacement username (I have also verified the email), it is not recognized as a backup email. Thank you, Leo

I am facing difficulties accessing my Instagram account as I received a notification stating that it has been deleted. I am unsure of the reason, but I suspect it may be due to accessing my account simultaneously on both my desktop and phone. I have cherished this account for about 8 years, containing numerous memories I hold dear. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter to prevent losing access to my valuable memories. I eagerly anticipate your prompt response. Username: dardanmullaademi

I signed up for @benkims' Instagram subscription feed, which was advertised as £17.49 for the first month and £2.79 monthly thereafter, including a signed CD. However, I was incorrectly charged £17.49 for the renewal instead of the decreased rate. Although I received a refund from ApplePay, my subscription was cancelled, and I lost access. Despite the new rate of £0.99 per month, I am unable to resubscribe without being asked to pay the higher amount. My friends confirm they see the correct £0.99 fee. I am reaching out for help to update my subscription to the accurate £0.99 per month as I cannot contact Instagram directly without prepaying the incorrect fee first.

Hello, I'm Breilyn Pérez. I've been using Instagram since [redacted] without any issues until two weeks ago when my main account, "breilyn.ps," was hacked.
