This wikiHow teaches you how to turn back on your Instagram account after you've temporarily deactivated it, as well as how to appeal an Instagram-disabled account. If your account has been deleted, your only option is to create a new account.
-
1
Make sure your account has been deactivated for long enough. After choosing to deactivate your account, Instagram typically requires a few hours to finish the process. During this time, you cannot reactivate your account.
- If your account has been deactivated for more than a day, you should be able to log back in without any trouble.
-
2
Know that you cannot reactivate a deleted account. If you chose to delete your Instagram account, you won't be able to reactivate it after deletion.
-
3
Open Instagram. Tap the Instagram app icon, which resembles a multicolored camera.
-
4
Enter your username, email address, or phone number. Do so in the top text field. You can use any of these credentials so long as they're associated with the account you want to reactivate.
- Depending on the screen to which Instagram loads, you may first have to tap a Log In button or link in order to view the login page.
-
5
Enter your password. Do this in the "Password" text box.
- If you don't remember your password, you'll need to reset it.
-
6
Tap Log in . It's at the bottom of the screen. As long as your login credentials are correct, doing so will log you into Instagram and reactivate your account.
-
7
Follow any on-screen instructions. Depending on how long your Instagram account has been deactivated, you may have to accept updated Terms of Use or verify your phone number before you can proceed to your account.
- Logging back into your account reactivates it, so you shouldn't have to perform any reactivation steps after logging in.
-
1
Verify that your account is suspended. Open the Instagram app and try logging in with the correct credentials. If you see a message which says "Your account has been disabled" (or something similar) appear after tapping Log in, Instagram has disabled your account for violating the Terms of Use.[1]
- If you just see an error message (e.g., "Incorrect password or username"), your account hasn't been disabled by Instagram. Try troubleshooting for a fix.
-
2
Open the Instagram appeal form. Go to https://help.instagram.com/contact/606967319425038 in your computer's web browser. You can use this form to request that Instagram allow you to access your account.
-
3
Enter your name. In the "Full name" text box near the top of the page, enter your first and last name as it appears on your Instagram account.
-
4
Enter your username. Type your Instagram username into the "Your Instagram Username" text box.
-
5
Enter your email address and phone number. Do so in the "Your email address" and "Your phone number" text boxes, respectively.
-
6
Enter your appeal request. In the last text box on the page, type in a brief message explaining why you think your account should not be deactivated. When writing your appeal, remember the following guidelines:
- Explain that your account was deactivated, and you believe the deactivation to be a mistake.
- Avoid apologizing, as doing so implies some form of fault.
- Keep your tone pleasant, and refrain from using harsh language.
- End your appeal with a "Thank you!".
-
7
Click Send . It's a blue button at the bottom of the page. Doing so will send your appeal to Instagram; if they choose to reactivate your account, you'll be able to log in when notified.
- You can repeat the appeal process several times per day until Instagram reaches a decision.
-
1
Try logging in with your email or phone number. If attempting to log in with your username isn't working, consider using your email address or your phone number.
- Likewise, you might try logging in with your username if you usually use your email or phone number.
- Your password needs to be correct regardless of your selected login credential.
-
2
Reset your password . If you can't remember the correct password for your Instagram account, you can reset it from your phone or computer.
-
3
Turn off your phone's Wi-Fi when logging in. If the Instagram app (not your login information) is the problem, using cellular data instead of Wi-Fi can resolve some login issues.
-
4
Use a different platform to access Instagram. Your phone or computer may have cached information which is preventing you from logging into your account; if so, using a different phone, computer, or browser to log into your account may fix this problem.
-
5
Uninstall and reinstall the Instagram app. In some cases, reinstalling Instagram will resolve login issues caused by the app.
- If your Instagram app is out-of-date, doing this will also make sure that you have the most recent version of the app.
-
6
Consider whether you violated Instagram's Terms of Use. If you're receiving a message that says your account doesn't exist, your account may have been deleted by Instagram due to a Terms of Use violation.
- Common violations include posting nudity, bullying other users, promoting harmful products, and fraud.[2]
- Terms of Use violations often result in your account being suspended or deleted without warning.

Question
How long does it take for Instagram to delete an inactive account?

Staff Answer
Instagram does have a policy that encourages people to use the account. An inactive account is at risk of being deleted but the amount of time is not specified. Not using the account for awhile will result in reminder emails from Instagram letting you know it's easy to get re-involved. After a few years of non-use, it's possible your account will be deleted for being inactive.

Question
What do I need to do if I temporarily disabled my account yesterday and now I cannot log in?

Question

You certainly should! If you have a huge amount of followers, some may take note of your absence and choose to unfollow you manually; however, disabling your account will not remove your followers.

Question
Does Instagram notify followers when you reactivate an inactive profile?
No, but your account will go from being invisible back to being visible to followers.

Question
What do I do if I temporarily disabled my account several months ago, and when I try to log in, it tells me that my username doesn't exist?
