Using certain usernames on social media can be a highly desired treasure for many, so there are some who are willing to do whatever it takes to take control of some. This involves account hacking and even intimidation, so we are going to explain what you can do if you have suffered any of these problems or deleted the account by mistake .
Have you blocked your Instagram account?
Could occur. If you have misbehaved online and have posted images or texts that could be offensive, some users may have reported your posts to the service requesting the blocking of your account . It is a measure that is part of the terms and conditions of the service, and it is that Instagram will try at all times to take care of the types of publications that are made on its network.
Whether due to insults, risqué posts, violence, or any of the other reasons covered by their rules, your account could end up being deactivated to avoid more problems. But if you’ve received reports in error, and a wave of bots have intentionally blocked your account, take it easy, there’s still no way to get it back.
How to recover a blocked account
All you have to do is contact Instagram to tell them what has happened and why you think blocking your account is a mistake . Obviously you don’t have to call any phone or anything like that, it’s easier. You only have to fill out an official form that they have on their website to share your version.
If the account has been blocked for having violated the conditions of use of the service, go forgetting to recover it. There are no double chances here, so your only solution will be to create a new profile. If, on the other hand, you think there has been an error, fill out the form and wait for an answer. They will probably ask you for some proof to corroborate your identity.
Has your account been hacked?
If you believe that someone has taken control of your account, you must be quick. The steps to follow are to check the email for an official Instagram email and remember the password in case the first one doesn’t work. We explain it to you:
- If you have received an official email from Instagram informing you that your email has changed, all your alarms should go off. This means that the attacker has logged into your account and changed the email to take control. Luckily, this email you receive will be accompanied by the question “ Wasn’t it you? ”, Followed by a link that will allow you to revert the changes. Click on it, enter your account and immediately change the password for a new one.
- If you can’t find the email, it’s your turn to act. Enter Instagram from your mobile and in the login box click on “ Forgot your password? ” On the next screen you can recover it using the mobile phone you had configured in your account.
If none of this works for you and your account has been completely hacked, you can always ask the service for help.
- Enter Instagram from your mobile. If you do it from Android click on ” Get help “, and if you do it from iOS click on ” Forgot your password?” , and inside you will find “ Do you need more help? ” You must indicate your email so that Instagram can contact you.
I have deleted an Instagram account, can I get it back?
Let’s be fast: there is no going back. If by some outburst you decided to delete your Instagram account and delete all your photogenic past, we are sorry to tell you that there is no way to recover all your history. Your stories, photos, comments and posts will be lost forever.
Yes, you can recover your username, but that will only be possible if during the activation period nobody has decided to catch it before (because since you deleted it, it started to be free). In that case, you can create an account with your same name, but you will start completely blank and without publications. A new stage.
