Hello, I used a third-party application to automatically unfollow accounts on my Instagram (antoine.lft) which led to my account being blocked by Instagram for three weeks. I would like to recover my account, but I am having issues as I believe my email address and phone number are not linked to my account directly. Originally, I associated them through Facebook, but now I am unable to reconnect via Facebook. When attempting to reset my password, the recovery link is being sent to a different phone number stating the user or account does not exist. I have been trying to reach out for two weeks after receiving an email from Instagram requesting a photo of myself with a code ([redacted]) and my name. I have responded five times but have not received a reply. I hope to hear back soon and regain access to my account. I have exhausted all options and truly hope to recover my account. If you need to contact me, here is my email: [redacted] / Phone: [redacted].

Hello, I am Sophie Foucher, known as @sophielagiraf. I received a message from a friend with a link. I mistakenly clicked on it and then received the emails attached: Hi sophielagiraf, The email address on your Instagram account was changed from [redacted] at 09:26 (PDT) on Wednesday, May 05, [redacted]. Your new email address is [redacted] If you did not make this change, you can secure your account here. Hi sophielagiraf, The phone number on your Instagram account was changed from +[redacted]0 at 09:26 (PDT) on Wednesday, May 05, [redacted]. Your new phone number is +[redacted]00. If this change was not made by you, you can secure your account here. I have lost all means of accessing my Instagram account. The phone numbers and email addresses were changed. The login information has been altered, and I no longer have access to my account. The current credentials now belong to a hacker who has taken over my account and those who clicked on this fraudulent link. I would like to recover my account with my former credentials: [redacted] and +[redacted]0. If account recovery is not possible, I request that the account be deleted, along with all photos and information it contains. Best regards, Sophie Foucher

Hello, I am currently experiencing issues with accessing my Instagram account. I have been unable to log in for over two weeks now. The problem arises when I try to reset my password but I am unable to recall my old password. After verifying my phone number, I receive a link to reset my password. However, each time I click on the link, it redirects me to the initial page requesting my old password, which I do not remember. My Instagram username is Richie.evan, and my contact number is +[redacted]5. I do not have an associated email address with my Instagram account. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Spiel richie

I am experiencing difficulty logging into my account due to a "challenge_required" message on my phone. I recently updated my email address without confirmation and added a second account, causing issues with my connections, including Facebook. As a result, I am unable to use my Facebook account to log in. I attempted to reset my password through email but was unsuccessful. Despite receiving a confirmation email stating I would be connected to my account, I remain unable to log in. I also tried using my phone number to reconnect without success. I am seeking assistance to regain access to my account. The username is: bonnie.lila. Thank you for your help! - Bonnie Pülm

Hello Instagram Team, My account has been deactivated for 9 days due to being flagged as fake. I have submitted my ID, passport, and driver's license to verify my identity, along with a code and a picture of my face as requested for email verification. However, I have not received any responses from your end. I invested money in promotions for my account, which had important content in highlights and pictures that I don't want to lose. I would like to have my Instagram account, okan_bdn, reinstated. If not possible, please at least provide me with an explanation. I am willing to create a new account, but I hesitate to invest more if there is no assurance that fake reports will be addressed properly. The person who reportedly hacked me is 34emreozturk, and they have been taking money from other users to reactivate accounts. Thank you, Okan Baldan

Dear Instagram, I am unsure why my account was disabled. To date, I have not violated any Instagram rules. I have many memories linked to my account, so please consider reinstating it. I promise to adhere to all Instagram guidelines going forward. I miss using my account. Thank you for your attention and swift action.

I would like to report an Instagram account called meekthezillionaire for fraudulent activities. The person behind it scammed me out of $[redacted] by offering a fake product. Despite my requests for a refund or the actual product, she only provided a free item found online. After researching, I discovered she operates under the guise of offering credit repair and non-profit classes but essentially teaches how to exploit the system for profit. She sold me a do-it-yourself credit repair manual, which turned out to be a free template she downloaded from Google. When I demanded my money back, she responded rudely and refused. I urge Instagram to investigate all her accounts promoting scams on the platform. She can be found at linktr.ee/meek_the_billionaire. I am considering legal action and will contact the BBB. Thank you for your attention.

Hallo liebes Team, Ich möchte mein Anliegen bezüglich meines Accounts bei cakacosmetics mit euch teilen. Leider wurde ich Opfer von Phishing und mein Account wurde gesperrt. Ich halte mich stets an die Nutzungsbedingungen und nutze Instagram für meine Dienstleistungen, wobei ich regelmäßig Geld in Werbeposts investiere, um neue Kunden zu gewinnen. Da alle meine Kunden über Instagram kommen, ist es entscheidend, dass mein Profil schnellstmöglich wieder freigegeben wird. Die Sperrung hat dazu geführt, dass ich aktuell kein Einkommen generiere, was besonders in der aktuellen Corona-Situation existenziell ist. Ich bitte um Verständnis und hoffe auf die Freischaltung meines Accounts. Vielen Dank und herzliche Grüße, Vanessa C.

Hello Instagram, Five months ago, I received an email informing me that someone from Turkey had logged into my account @dxzn.vx. When I tried to change my password upon seeing this, I received a message stating that my account had violated guidelines, which seems incorrect as I have not posted anything against the rules. After submitting an appeal, I was informed that my account was reactivated. However, upon trying to log in again, I still received the same message. Two to three months ago, I submitted a new appeal and was told that my account would not be reinstated, which is confusing given the initial reactivation message. I kindly request a second chance as I have a great fondness for Instagram. It has helped me discover new friends and build a community. Best regards, David D.

Three years ago, someone changed my Instagram password, and I got logged out. When I attempt to log back in, the password provided is incorrect. I have been trying to access the account almost every day, but it continues to deny me access. The verification email is being sent to an email address I no longer have access to. The account in question is "yo_boi_adam123."

Recently, my Instagram account was hacked and it is very important to me for various reasons.

I go by the username karinaaa_ng on Instagram. While I was browsing through Instagram stories, I encountered a pop-up alert about unusual activity on my account. The message instructed me to log out, indicating that the issue would be resolved within 24 hours. However, despite the time that has passed – exceeding two weeks now – I am still unable to regain access to my account. I want to highlight that I have not breached any terms or conditions set forth by Instagram, so I am seeking assistance to reclaim my account. I believe my account was mistakenly disabled. Thank you.

Hello, I lost access to my phone and can't remember the password for my Instagram account. The account name is funsized_dollbaby. I've updated my contact information and now have a new phone number and email address. Any assistance in retrieving my account would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My business page, Akeedasboutiqueja, was hacked using my phone number and deleted by the hacker. After regaining control, I noticed the hacker's page is up instead of mine. I reported the hacker's page, recreated my page, but now I can't edit or comment on posts. Instagram restricts me from interacting with others. I can't follow customers or boost posts since the hack. I used to pay for boosting before the issue, but now all is lost without any email notification from Instagram. It seems too easy for hackers. I need help resolving these restrictions preventing me from interacting or boosting posts.

I recently created a new Instagram account for my business. Upon registration, I was asked to verify my account by providing my phone number and entering the code received via SMS due to "unusual activity." However, after this verification process, Instagram deactivated my account stating it broke guidelines without specifying which ones, leaving me unable to even access the app. I attempted to create a new account with a different username, but encountered the same issue. I have successfully managed multiple business and personal Instagram accounts in the past without guideline violations. I would greatly appreciate assistance in recovering at least one of the accounts. My preferred username is "msautoteile.at" to match my business name and domain, but I am open to alternatives. Should you require any documentation, such as legal papers or domain registrations for "www.msautoteile.at & www.ms-autoteile.at," please let me know. Thank you.

Hello, I am facing an issue with my Instagram account. It seems someone has hacked into it, and I am unable to log in despite trying on different devices and through the app. My Instagram email is [redacted] I attempted the 'Forgot Username/Password' process, but couldn't access my recovery email due to forgetting the password. I tried to reset my Yahoo account to no avail. I need assistance in resetting my Instagram password and updating my email address and phone number. Thank you.

It's been over a month since I haven't been able to access my account because it's been temporarily locked (which feels like a long time and I'm starting to lose patience), especially since Instagram isn't doing much to help me recover it. They are using an old email address that I no longer use, while I have two other active ones that I constantly use, so I can't receive any access codes. They also mention a phone number ending in 74 when mine ends in 96. I'm really fed up. Additionally, the number of followers on my account keeps changing every day, indicating that someone else has access to my account.

I am having trouble accessing my account as I tried to change my password but the security code is being sent to the wrong cell number. Unfortunately, I also deleted the email associated with my IG account by mistake, leaving me unable to log in. I urgently need either assistance in recovering my account "flygirlmq" where all my photos are stored or for the account to be deleted. Please contact me at [redacted] or call me at +[redacted]8. Your prompt attention would be greatly appreciated.
