If you have got your Instagram account disabled intentionally or by mistake or you have realized that Instagram has deleted your account due to any type of violation, you can reactivate it easily by following these simple steps:

How to Reactivate a Permanently deleted Instagram account:

When you open the Instagram app login screen, you realize that your Instagram account has been permanently gone.

It will show “Looks like your requested to delete your account” and when you switch to “Help Center” to learn more about your account, it will show that your account has been deleted for not following our terms.

So, these Instagram policies make it clear that a deleted account can never be recovered unless deleted by Instagram.

How to Reactivate a Disabled Instagram account:

In the case of a disabled Instagram account, the recovering can be done by following these steps:

  • Open the Instagram login screen.
  • Enter your login information-Username/e-mail and password.
  • To reset your password, you can try “forgot password”.

After entering a new password, you can start using your account.

If this option does not work another option is to contact the Instagram Team.

A question will appear on the screen — Is this account used to represent a business, product, or service? You can select the relevant option, if it is for your personal use, then select NO and click Send.

Another form page will appear where you need to enter some personal details regarding your Instagram account:

  • Full name — enter the exact name you used on your Instagram account.
  • Your Instagram username — the username you had on your account.
  • Your email address — the e-mail address you entered to sign up for your Instagram account.
  • Which country are you contacting us from? — from the provided list, select the country you are from

After entering the right information, you can submit the completed form.

You will receive an email from the Instagram Support Team within 48 hours containing a code of 5 digits and a set of instructions.

By carefully reading the instructions, you will know that you need to send them a photo.

The criterion of the photo is as follows:

  • Take any white paper specifically an A4 sheet.
  • Write down your full name, Instagram username, and the code provided to you in the email on the paper in bold.
  • Send a photo of the Instagram profile owner showing his/her entire face while holding that paper.
  • The photo should be well-lit, not too small or blurry. Attach this photo to your reply as a JPEG file.

If your account is temporarily disabled then following the measures mentioned above will make your account recover. You will receive an email with a link to restore your account within 2–3 days.

Just click that link and you will get your permanently deleted account recovered.
