Your Instagram got hacked, and now someone else changed your email and phone. This is way more common than you would think. It’s like waking up and finding the keys to your house are missing.
Can You Get Your Account Back?
You still have a shot. Even if the bad guy changed your info, Instagram has steps to help you recover your account. I have seen people pull it off.
What Should You Do Now?
Go to the Instagram Login Page.
Head to where you’d normally log in, and click on Need more help? under the password box.
Try Your Old Info.
Instagram lets you ask for a login link. If you still have any access to your old email or phone, check those inboxes. Even an old account could save you here.
Proof You are You
If nothing works, Instagram might ask you to send a selfie video. Just you looking at your phone’s camera. It’s a bit weird, but it helps prove your identity.
Don’t Give Up.
Instagram support can be slow, but persistence really does pay off. Keep following up if you don’t hear back fast.
Final Thought: getting hacked is no fun, but you havegot ways to fight back. Be patient, don’t stop trying, and you might just get your account back.
