Important Notice

We are an independent support service and are not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. If you believe your account was hacked, we strongly recommend also using the official in-app recovery tools. Our team can guide you through the process.

Recovery Steps

Follow these steps in order for the best chance of recovering your account.

Step 01

Try the Forgot Password Option

On the login screen, tap "Forgot password?" and enter your email, phone, or username. Check your inbox or SMS for a reset link.

Step 02

Use a Trusted Device or Location

Log in from a device or browser you have used before. Some platforms allow recovery from previously trusted locations without additional verification.

Step 03

Verify Your Identity

If standard recovery fails, submit an identity verification request. You may need a photo ID to confirm you own the account.

Step 04

Check Linked Accounts

If you signed up with Google, Facebook, or Apple, try logging in using those options instead of the platform's login form.

Step 05

Access Backup Codes

If you enabled two-factor authentication, use a saved backup recovery code to regain access.

Step 06

Contact Support

If all else fails, reach our team directly via phone, email, or live chat. We can walk you through advanced recovery options.

Recovery Tips

  • Act quickly — the sooner you attempt recovery, the better your chances.
  • Check your spam/junk folder for recovery emails.
  • Use the email address you registered with, not an alternate.
  • Make sure your phone number on file is still active.
  • Never share your password with anyone claiming to be "support".
