Instructions on how to restore Instagram for Android and iOS

1. Click Help with logging in (Android) or Forgot your password? (iPhone).
2. Enter the email/login or phone number associated with the account. Do not remember anything - enter at least some of your mail. Click "Next"
   
3. Here, in the official help for restoring the Instagram page, they promise that you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and you will receive an email with instructions to the specified mail. You will need to provide documents confirming your identity (list below). But in fact, a page with articles is now opening, where they tell you (in short) that if you don’t remember anything at all (password, mail, phone), then they won’t help you. This is how account security is ensured. Don't forget to check that there are no extra spaces when you enter your mail/code. Check your different mailboxes and be sure to SPAM folder. Often letters from Instagram fly there.

What to do? If someone offers you to restore Instagram (without login/mail/password/phone) - remember that it is impossible to do this by official methods if there is no access to mail/phone/Facebook. Therefore, this “someone” must have acquaintances among Facebook employees who will personally restore your page.

Accounts are often hacked to be used to buy followers. Therefore, while your Instagram is in the clutches of the enemy, it can be blocked for exceeding the Limits. But this will not affect the process of restoring access (although you will then have to unsubscribe from a bunch of leftist accounts).

What documents can be asked from the support service if Instagram was hacked?

For personal accounts

1. Photo with passport in hand
2. What phone did you log in from and smartphone model
3. Photo with a piece of paper with your full name and code that will be sent to your phone number or mail.
4. E-mail to which account
was registered

For business accounts

1. Local Business License (issued by your city, county, state, etc.)
2. Tax return
3. Registration certificate
4. Charter
5. Utility bill

The documents and photos you are asked for depends on whether you have personal photos in your account. Therefore, even if you have a professional Instagram, it’s good to have a couple of your own photos there to make it easier to recover your account in case of a hack. If your business is not officially registered (for example, your mother knits hats, and you sell them), then it is better to write to the support service for recovery as a personal account.

An account can be restored in a few days / week / month, there is no exact timeframe. They may not recover at all. Try to write to support several times (with a break of a week or two). Applications are processed by real people (even when they send "template" answers), so maybe one of the support staff will help you unlock your Instagram account.

How to protect your Instagram page from hacking

1. Choose a strong password for your Instagram account: at least 6 letters, numbers and punctuation; do not use this password anywhere else.
2. Remember which mail the account is registered to (and the password for this mail - it should also be complex (a set of letters and numbers) and not be used anywhere else). Anyone who gets access to your mail will be able to hack your Instagram.
3. Do not enter your Instagram password on someone else's computer. Even if you trust the owner, there may be viruses on the computer itself that will steal your password. Check your computer regularly for viruses too.
4. Link your account to your phone number
5. Link your account to a Facebook page
6. Post at least a couple of personal photos on your Instagram account (this can be a “post-acquaintance” where you talk about the account owner / business leader, etc.)
7. Don't exceed Instagram Limits and be aware of the limits
8. Save the photos you post on your phone or computer (hackers can remove the content while you restore Instagram)
