Hey! Can someone please help me? I completely accidentally deleted my Instagram account the other day and am at a loss for getting in touch with any support. Thanks!
Go to the Login page on Instagram.
Write username that you were using for your Instagram and click” Get help signing in” behind the Login button.
Clicking on “Get help signing in” will lead you to a new page. There you will find a title “Trouble logging in.”
But most of the time in the cases of deleted account, that screen is not going to help you. What you are going to get proper help is, click “need more help.” This click will lead you to a new screen.
Here you have to put the email address that you used at the time of sign up on Instagram. They will ask you to give a contact email, and you can give if you have a specified contact email for your account. Having a contact email can be more beneficial for you because it is going to make you able to have access to your account. But if you have not specified the contact email, go on with the general email address of your account.
Next, you have to tell the type of account that you were owning. Either it was a company account, brand account or personal account. Here, you can tell that It was my personal account with the photos of myself, even you do not have any photos of yourself there on your account. Not having your personal photos on your account is not a big deal, because it does not matter in most of the time.
The next thing that you are going to do is to click “my account was hacked.” You will get a box with the title “Any additional details,” it is not a necessary thing to do. So, you can skip this step without any issue.
After completing all the above steps, you can click “Request Support.”
After completing this procedure, you will get an email on your specified email address within a very short time.
In the email that you have gotten from Instagram, you will ask to fill some things to verify the belonging of the Instagram account with you. On that piece of verification paper, you have to write your username, full name, verification code and a clear picture of you that you have gotten from Instagram.
Make sure that your account has at least one picture of you in which you can be identified clearly. It is necessary because, Instagram help center says “Keep in mind that if this account does not include any picture of you is used to represent something or someone else, we won’t be able to help until we receive a photo that meets these requirements.”
Read the email and fill the verification paper according to the instructions given in the email.
This can help you in getting back your Instagram account easily.
