Hello,
I have been trying for several days to log in to my Instagram application, but it is not working. After entering my email address and password, they ask me to confirm my account with a code sent to my phone number, which I should enter in the app to verify it's me.
However, I am unable to receive the code. Despite trying to resend it multiple times, it still doesn't work. (I have tried on my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, etc.). I never receive the code even though my phone number is correct. I am then stuck on this page and can't do anything.

Every time I try to search for my Instagram username, it shows "no user found." I urgently need my Instagram account back. This mistake on Instagram's end must be rectified as the recent post was not made by me. Retrieving my account is crucial as it is essential for my artistic business. Please restore my account promptly. I am distressed by this ongoing Instagram issue. I was supposed to have my account back four months ago, and the delay has been frustrating. Thank you.

I am concerned that my Instagram account may be banned. Due to some family issues, I have logged in and out multiple times. After doing this, I received a notification about my account being detected. Even after reinstalling Instagram, I am unable to open it. When I try to verify my password, it is not accepting it and repeatedly calling it wrong. I am seeking assistance in restoring my Instagram to its previous state. Kindly consider helping me with this matter. Thank you for your attention.

Hello Team,
I am Abdul Muaid, and I am facing an issue with my Instagram account. It has been hacked, and the hacker changed the email associated with it and added 2FA that I cannot access. I have tried various methods to recover it, including sending a selfie video, but I keep getting an error message saying, “Uploading failed, please try again later.” As a result, I am unable to access my account.
My account username is _themuaid_xd_. I would appreciate any assistance in helping me recover my account.
Thank you,
Abdul Muaid

Dear Instagram Support Team,
I am writing to report that my Instagram account [@your_username] was hacked last night. I managed to regain access by using various security codes sent to my phone. However, it has now been deactivated without my consent. I have been a loyal Instagram user since [please specify when you started using Instagram] and have experienced a security breach.
On [approximate date and time of the breach], I noticed suspicious activity on my account, such as unauthorized posts, profile modifications, and messages sent to my followers without my consent. I immediately tried to recover my account by resetting my password, which initially did not work but eventually succeeded. To my surprise, this morning my account was then deactivated by Instagram for security reasons.
I want to emphasize that I have always followed Instagram's security guidelines by using a strong password and avoiding sharing my login information. Despite this, my account was compromised.
I am eager to recover my Instagram account, which holds precious memories and a valuable community. I am willing to provide any additional information you may require to verify my identity as the legitimate owner of this account.
Thank you for considering my request to recover my account and for assisting me in resolving this situation as quickly as possible. I look forward to regaining access to my account and continuing to use Instagram safely.
Best regards,
Marine Péraudin

Hello, I was just logged out of my Instagram account (on all devices) a few minutes ago. When I try to log in with my correct password, it no longer works. Have I been hacked? I have already tried using the link sent via email, but it shows a different email than the one I have in my account (a very strange one with a .cc domain). Instagram handle: neviowrm. I would appreciate a response.

Hello,
I have been unable to access my account for over a week. A surprising message, "Your comment goes against our community guidelines," appears intermittently! I was blocked right after trying to update a personal comment to further express my interest in a friend's photo.
Could it be possible that I have been a victim of hacking, a devious maneuver from a disappointed subscriber/impostor who was blocked/rejected by me? Moreover, I noticed that for a few days, I couldn't send a photo (accompanied by a comment) of this same friend (as well as a few others belonging to other friends) to these same friends and others we have in common. Also, every time I entered my Instagram space, a 'parasite' image (from a certain "oliviacastaxx" I followed at one time) would consistently display!
Hoping that my plea for help has caught your kind attention, I would be immensely grateful if you could help me regain access to my account.
Thank you very much,
Fabrice Bolusset

Hello, my account has been compromised.
Account name: arn_zelef
Previous name: Sinbaddieu
The email on the account was always: [redacted], but it was changed to "[redacted]" after the hack.
My phone number, 06.40.41.33.11, remains the same. However, the system is asking me to use an authentication app like "Google Authenticator" or a backup code, which I don't have.
Hoping to regain access to my account soon.

Hello, my account @mmonreal has been inaccessible for the past week. I made some negative comments regarding @depotprivefamily, and I suspect they may have reported me. Depotprivefamily operates a furniture sales website but fails to deliver products or provide refunds.
Having fallen victim to their fraudulent activities, I decided to publicly share my experience on their Instagram page. I want to emphasize that I am a legitimate individual, not a spam account, but rather someone who has been defrauded by a deceptive company exploiting Instagram for credibility.
As an Influencer Sales Director in France, Instagram is an integral part of my professional life, and I urgently require assistance in recovering my account. Can someone please assist me with this matter?

Hello, I recently encountered some personal and musical issues which led to me losing access to my Instagram account. Despite my attempts to recover it, Instagram has been unresponsive. Additionally, I've had two accounts hacked. As I am not a well-known artist on Instagram and not affiliated with a music label, I have not paid close attention to the various notifications and emails requesting personal information due to concerns about online security and data privacy. In light of the ongoing data breaches, I am considering either deleting my accounts or trying to regain access to them. Username: @wxlovsn.

On Saturday, September 23rd, around 5 pm, my Instagram account was hacked. I mistakenly clicked on a link sent by the hacker who pretended to be someone I knew, resulting in being logged out of my account. The hacker then demanded money for its return, which I refused. I have sent selfie videos to Instagram as proof of identity, but as my account lacks personal photos, they are struggling to verify ownership. I am seeking assistance from the Instagram team to facilitate the recovery of my account and would appreciate speaking with a representative.

My Instagram account, @captainbastard, was hacked yesterday. The hacker successfully changed the email address without setting off the automated email notification. As a result, I am locked out, and the hacker is posting comments and stories from my account. I have tried all the support options offered by the Instagram help center, but none have been effective. I am seeking assistance to either regain control of my account or disable it to prevent further unauthorized use.
