Recovering an Instagram account without access to the email address or phone number linked to it can be tricky, but it's possible with the right steps. Here's a guide:
Step 1: Open Instagram's Login Help
- Open the Instagram app or visit the Instagram login page.
- Tap Forgot password? (or Get help logging in on Android).
Step 2: Use Your Username
- On the login help screen, enter your username (or the last email/phone number you remember).
- Tap Need more help? or Next.
Step 3: Request Assistance
- Select Try Another Way if you don't have access to the email or phone number.
- Follow the prompts to provide additional information about your account, such as:
- The username of the account.
- The type of account (personal, business, or creator).
- Details like the email address or phone number previously linked to the account.
Step 4: Submit a Support Request
- If prompted, tap I can't access this email or phone number.
- Instagram will guide you to fill out a form. Include:
- Your username.
- Any details to prove the account is yours (e.g., approximate date of account creation, linked devices, etc.).
Step 5: Verify Your Identity
Instagram may ask you to verify your identity:
- Selfie Verification: You may be asked to upload a selfie holding a piece of paper with a code Instagram provides.
- Email Verification: Instagram might send a recovery link to the new email address you provide.
Step 6: Wait for Instagram's Response
- Instagram will review your request and respond within a few days.
- If approved, they’ll provide instructions to recover your account.
Tips to Improve Chances of Recovery
- Provide Accurate Information: Ensure the details you share match what’s on your account.
- Be Patient: Instagram's review process can take time.
- Try Accessing Old Emails/Numbers: If possible, regain access to the linked email or phone number to simplify recovery.
