If you’ve deleted your Instagram account, or if it’s been inactive for a while, you may want to get it back. Here are some tips on how to do that. First, make sure you’re actually deleting your account. If you just deactivate it, Instagram may keep a copy of your account for administrative purposes. Next, go to Instagram’s website and create a new account. (This is optional, but recommended if you want to keep all of your old photos and posts.) Once you have an account set up, log in and go to the “Your Account” page. Under “Settings,” click on “Account Settings.” On this page, under “General,” click on “Deactivate My Account.” If everything goes according to plan, your old account will be deactivated and you’ll be able to retrieve all of your photos and posts. ..
Let’s take a look at all the possible scenarios and steps you can follow in order to solve your problem.
If you need to regain control over an Instagram account that has been taken away from you by someone else, one of the first things you should do is contact them (if you have their number or email address). Tell them that this inappropriate use of your Instagram accounts could lead to some legal consequences, so if they wouldn’t mind stopping right now and letting you recover access, everything will be fine for everyone involved. If they don’t respond negatively immediately, which is highly unlikely anyway since even most criminals know when they’re doing something wrong, then
If your old Instagram account has been hacked, you should contact Instagram customer support to report about this problem and make sure you will get back access. One of the most common ways hackers take over an Instagram account is by using a brute force attack (where they keep entering usernames and passwords until one works) or by getting someone’s email password with some phishing emails then changing their username and password. If your account has been hacked, I highly recommend signing up for two-factor authorization . This adds another layer of security to your accounts: even if someone else gets hold of your login information, they still won’t be able to log in unless they have that second code sent via text message as well.
While we’re talking about two-factor authorization, you should also know that Instagram requires all the users who want to use 2FA to verify their phone number in order to enable this feature. This is not an application process but merely a verification step. There’s no need for you to get half-naked pictures of yourself using your webcam, or sending them any copies of IDs or bank cards and so on just because they are asking it from you.
