What counts as inactive

No posts, no profile photo, no activity in a long time, or an account that’s clearly abandoned. If it looks dead, send it over and we’ll tell you if it’s doable.

How we claim it

We check the handle, tell you if it’s doable and what it costs, then run the claim and keep you posted on WhatsApp or email until it’s on your profile.

What you send

The @handle you want.
Your current Instagram profile.
Any brand or trademark details, if you have them.

Your password stays with you.
