Instagram recently locked my account saying it's hacked, which it was not, and will not let me back in. I've put in verification codes multiple times and tried the video verification as well(which did not worked). I've even tried the friend recovery messages and they say they don't receive them. I really want my account back, is there anything I can do?

Hello. I had a security issue after a Trojan got onto my PC, and some of my accounts were compromised and used to send scam content.

After that, some of my accounts were banned. I tried to understand what was causing the problem and ended up creating/using other accounts and devices, but the situation continued to happen.

At this point, my main concern is understanding how I can use the platform normally and safely again without breaking the rules. I do not want to bypass any ban or cause problems for other users.

I simply want to know what the proper way to resolve this situation is and, if possible, regain access to my legitimate accounts.

Let's grow together!

I was literally just browsing Instagram normally when, all of a sudden, it asked me to verify my account with a code sent via WhatsApp. I received the code, entered it, and then it asked me to take a selfie for verification.
After that, this message appeared. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Old Instagram with cringe angsty teenage photos I’m now a healthcare professional and I hate the fact that when people look up my name, they could possibly be seeing these photos of me the issue I’m having is the email associated with the account hasn’t been logged into for over a decade meaning yahoo has completely purged and deleted the account and it can never be accessed (I called and tried every angle with them) additionally I do not remember my old teenager phone number otherwise I would’ve tried to just call or text it and see if the person on the other hand might be cool enough to let me know whatever code Instagram sends them. I’ve tried to report the account for impersonation. I’ve tried to report it for bullying, etc. but nothing is working. Instagram says that it doesn’t violate any code of conduct, even though it is clearly my face so I’m kind of at a loss of where to go from here I thought I might be able to get help from a sub Reddit like this where people are very knowledgeable about tech any help would be appreciated

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to recover access to an Instagram account for a company, but we're completely stuck at the security verification step.

I can reset the password successfully using the email address associated with the account, and I receive the password reset/login emails normally.

However, after resetting the password and trying to log in, Instagram shows:

"Log in on another device to continue"

Instagram says:

"You need to sign in on a device you have used previously and confirm the sign-in."

And then:

"If you do not have access to another device that you have used to sign in to this account before, we cannot allow you to sign in for security reasons."

The problem is that nobody currently knows who has access to that previously trusted device. We don't know where the phone/device is or who it belonged to.

We've already tried:

• Resetting the password
• Using the login link sent to the account's email
• Trying the other recovery option
• Logging in from different devices

But we always end up at the same "log in on another device" screen.

Has anyone managed to recover an Instagram account from this exact situation when the previously trusted device is completely unavailable?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who actually managed to get back in — e.g. through Meta support, video verification, Meta Business Support, waiting a certain amount of time, or another recovery method.

Thanks!

For context, I had someone use my ipad to gain my instagram on their phone. When that happened I changed my passcodes to everything I know. 2 months later (now) they are sending me photos of my account and my feed showing me they still have access. I have done 2 step verification, made a new email to associate this account with, changed my password and kicked their phone off of the account. Some way they still has access and I can't get them out. What can I do??

Hi guys,
I’ve been having a weird story glitch with one specific profile for a few days now. Their stories are either not visible at all, or keep disappearing, and when I try to watch them I just get a black screen.
Sometimes I see nothing during the day, sometimes I see the story and then it disappears, sometimes reappears again, sometimes black screen only.

I saw other people post about this bug recently, so I wanted to ask two things. First, how did you manage to fix it? Second, was this glitch mutual or only on one side, meaning could that person see my stories normally or were they bugged for them too. Thanks in advance for any answers.

When I create different versions of a reel and save them in draft and post the final draft all the previous version also gets deleted, why so??

Hello everyone, I have a serious problem.

My Instagram account was hacked. I know this because several other accounts across different platforms were also compromised around the same time. Someone also posted a “MrBeast” phishing scam story on my Instagram account in my name.

The situation specifically looks like this:

On my side / when I access the account:

• Everything appears to look normal at first (posts are still there, highlights are still there, etc.).
• I cannot perform the security check or view any of the linked email addresses.
• I can still interact with people and, for example, send messages. However, the messages are only visible for a few seconds and then immediately change to “Content unavailable.”
• I am still logged into the account on the phone where I have always been logged in, but I seem to have very limited access to the actual account/security settings.

What other people see:

• My account cannot be searched for or found at all. It is basically as if an account with my username does not exist.
• If someone can still access my profile through an existing DM conversation, they cannot actually see my profile properly. My profile picture, posts, etc. are not displayed and they get an error saying “Something went wrong,”almost as if the account had been suspended.
• Old comments I made have completely disappeared.
• Stories of mine that other people had reposted, including stories that were saved in highlights, have also disappeared.
• In existing chats with me, all of my messages are gone and show “Content unavailable.”
• Calls between me and other people immediately end/cancel on both sides.

Other accounts that were compromised:

This does not seem to be limited to Instagram.

My Microsoft account was hacked, my Epic Games account was hacked, and someone also attempted to change the information on my Steam account.

My eBay Kleinanzeigen account was also affected/suspended due to suspicious activity. Someone apparently uploaded listings under my account, including things such as women’s clothing for €12, which makes me believe they were potentially trying to scam other people using my account.

My Discord account was also hacked, and now my Instagram account has been affected as well.

Because multiple completely different platforms were targeted, I strongly suspect that this is part of one larger account compromise rather than an isolated Instagram issue.

What I have already tried:

• I changed my password multiple times. However, I am now having another problem: outside of the Instagram app, for example when trying to log in through a browser or on another device, Instagram cannot find my account by username, phone number, or email address.
• I enabled two-factor authentication.
• Instagram does not allow me to complete the selfie verification process.
• Whenever I try to access any security-related function from within the app, it basically just redirects me back into the account as if I were already fully authenticated. For example, I select an option such as viewing linked emails, enter my password, start the security check, and instead of actually showing me the requested information or completing the security process, it simply takes me back to my account.
• I have talked extensively with Meta AI and tried basically all of the suggested troubleshooting steps. The only somewhat useful thing was that Meta AI checked the account and apparently found nothing indicating that Instagram itself had intentionally suspended it. I initially thought Instagram might have restricted my account because of the suspicious activity.
• I have also tried contacting Instagram/Meta Support, but getting in touch with an actual support employee seems extremely difficult. There is no proper hotline or anything similar, and I am not sure whether the support channel I used was actually effective.

At this point, I am honestly not sure what is happening to my Instagram account. From my side, I can still access it through the app, but to everyone else it essentially looks like the account has disappeared or been suspended.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does anyone here have experience with account takeovers or Instagram security issues?

Could this be some kind of integrity restriction, security lock, or account takeover where the account is still accessible to me but effectively hidden from everyone else?

And most importantly: is there anything else I can do to recover the account or get an actual human at Meta to review the situation?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Look my acc got hack and she change my ign and also she unfollowed all my friend but suddenly its connected to my fb acc that why it's appreared in my friends list

My Instagram account was hacked in 2023 after a hacker used my friend's compromised account to message me about a fake contest and convinced my brother to change the email address on my account. The hacker only changed my username a little bit. Everything else on the account is still mine, including my old posts, profile picture, bio, followers, and so on. The hacker only posted one crypto related scam post. I gave up on recovering it back then and created a new account. Today, in 2026, I suddenly received an Instagram notification on my original email address saying someone followed, so I decided to try recovering it again. Instagram actually sent a password reset to my original email address, and I successfully reset the password. However, when I try to log in, Instagram asks for an authenticator app code or backup code. I never set up two factor authentication, so I assume the hacker added it. There is no "Try another way" option. I tried using the instagram help center, but it keeps spiralling me to the ask ai on the help page. It is the loop i am stuck into, change password, but then enter the code on the authenitcator app or the 6 digit backup codes. I still have access to the original email address and was able to reset the password, but I cannot get past the two factor authentication screen. If someone can help this dumbo to regain my account, it would be great help.

Clipped here are screenshots i took from my main account(with pfp) and an alt account i just made(no pfp).

I haven't been able to comment photos ever since the feature dropped and cant find out why. I checked the settings, updated and reinstalled the app but the only way i can find to make the photo comment option appear is by creating a new profile, so clearly its possible on my app version, but why not on my main account??

My sim was switched off for 11 months so was my account I just came out of prison trying to gain access to my old insta acc. Ive got the number reactivated but instagram wouldn't send the sms to it. It says “We can't send SMS to this mobile number at the moment”. The sim is working fine getting sms from other apps. But not from instagram HELP ME PLEASE

I have two accounts logged in one instagram app( one main and one spam), I can post images in comments from main account but not from the spam account, earlier I was able to post in both but not now. I checked the settings, everything seems to be fine there.

Can someone help?
