Temporarily locked Instagram

hey im having the same problem rn and thought id just wait it out… did it work for u? if so was it 24-48 hours?

have you tried all that discussed here? I don’t think waiting 24-48 hours will solve this issue, you can try to reset your account password as one of the solutions suggested here.

I’m going through the same scenario it’s telling me to verify my identify but it’s sending the code to an old email that I don’t have access too. That email is not even the current one on my account so I don’t understand why is it doing that. It’s frustrating.!!! Did you ever find a way around it

Me too did waiting it out work for you ?

No… Nothing worked for me I’m still locked out

Hi I’m going through the same thing right now, did you end up solving it because I can’t loose my insta😂

hiya, i’m having a similar issue as i’m temporary locked out of my instagram. Im confused as the email they’re sending the verification code to is correct and I have access to it. Although the code isnt sending to this email. would you please help me?

how did you get it back? im so confused :confused:

how do you know they arent scammers tho?

has anyone figured this thing out? tried doing the verification with my face, and it resets my password but i still get the same temporarily locked message. the only way to recover it is using my old phone number, no email is listed. if there is someone who knows someone who can help plz email me @anjade820@gmail.com this fr sucks

Try that

ofc i tried it. there is no any info on the temporarily locked accounts.

if my account was fully blocked then yea. otherwise it says that my account is still active and i cant submit the form

Are you getting the codes sent? Do you have the original email or phone? I just kept spamming the code and it finally sent

How long have you been spamming? You mean like you would just try to log in and it would send you code or ?
When I try to log in, cos of 2 factor authentication it sends a code to my number, I fill it in, then it says “you are temporarily locked”, I press continue and it sends a code to the old number which I no longer use.

But I think I got hacked because I got temporarily locked and when it gives me the option to verify it’s my acc by phone number, it’s not even my phone number

Did you purchase that account from an account provider? Sometimes IG shows the old phone number on the verification page which isn’t used anymore.

girlll my account got locked yesterday too and it’s trying to send it to my old number and it’s my new number that should be connected !!! it’s honestly so annoying
