Short answer
If a hack got your Instagram disabled, first work out whether you can still see a disabled notice. If you can, request a review from it and finish the video selfie. If you can’t log in at all, start at instagram.com/hacked. Appeal once, and say plainly that the account was compromised.
Which route are you on?
- You see a disabled or suspended notice when you log in: request a review from that notice.
- The email, number or password was changed and you can’t log in: start at instagram.com/hacked, and appeal if the flow leads you to a disabled notice.
- You’re not sure: try logging in with your old details on a device you’ve used before and see what appears.
Why hacked accounts get disabled
A hacker usually uses the account the way a scammer would: spam links, mass follows, giveaway scams, or impersonating you under a changed username. Instagram’s systems see that behaviour on your account and can disable it, even though you didn’t do it. That’s the point to make in the review.
Steps to appeal
- Open the notice and tap the option to request a review or disagree with the decision.
- Complete every step it asks for. If it asks for a video selfie, record it in good light and turn your head as shown. If it isn’t accepted, you can try again.
- Tell Instagram the account was hacked, and when you noticed. Keep it short, specific and true.
- Use the email address on the account for follow-ups and check spam. Replies come there.
- Wait for the answer instead of sending repeat appeals. Several submissions can slow things down.
What helps the review make sense
- The date you noticed the hack, and any email from Instagram about a changed email, number or password.
- The email address and phone number that were on the account before the hack.
- Screenshots of the posts or messages you didn’t make.
- Confirmation that you changed your email password and turned on two-step verification.
