Instagram deleted my account, what do I do?

Instagram can sometimes be bully & delete your account for no reason. Recently a lot of Instagram users say their account got deleted without notice or reason. Once you log in, you can get a message such as “we’re sorry, something went wrong”, “your account has been disabled” or even “username not found”. In this article we will guide you to getting your account activated.

Why is your account deleted by Instagram?

There are different reasons which might be the reason why your Instagram account is deactivated. Most of the times Instagram has noticed suspicious activity, such as automatization. Sometimes there’s not even automatization used, but Instagram still thinks you have. Other reasons could be impersonation, copyright violation, breaking the terms of services, etc.

After that, you will be able to ‘tell us if you think we made a mistake’. You have to fill in a form with your full name, username, email that’s attached to the account & your country. After that you will receive an email from Facebook. You have to reply to the email with a picture of you, with yourself holding a white paper with your full name, a code & username written on it.
