Instagram announced recently that it’s rolling out some changes to how people use the social network website. If you haven’t heard, Instagram is testing a feature called “Deactivate” that allows users to delete their accounts without having to wait 30 days.
This isn’t something that most people are familiar with, but it’s actually pretty common among celebrities and influencers who want to take a break from the platform.
How to Reactivate an Instagram Account?
If you want to reactivate your Instagram account, follow these steps:
- 1. Log into your Instagram account.
- 2. Click on “Settings.”
- 3. Scroll down and find the option “Deactivate Account.”
- 4. Select “Yes,” and confirm your decision.
- 5. You’ll receive a confirmation email. Read it carefully and click on the link included there.
- 6. After clicking on the link, you’ll see a screen where you must enter your password. Enter it correctly and press “Submit.”
Just Go to Instagram (On the App or on the Desktop) And Log in Just as You Would Normally.
The problem is that many people don’t know what happens next. You might think that once you delete your account, you lose access to everything — including your followers, likes, comments, and posts. But that’s not true.
In fact, there are ways to keep those things intact even after deleting your account.
So here’s what you do: Go to Instagram, sign into your account, and hit the big red button that says “Deactivate Account.” Then follow the instructions that pop up. And that’s it. Your account will be deleted, but you won’t lose access to anything else.
If you decide later that you want to come back, you can reactivate your account within 24 hours. So no worries.
Things You Should Know
To reactivate a suspended account, you must use the Instagram appeals form. If you want to restore your account, you’ll need to provide proof of identity and payment information.
Deleted accounts cannot be restored, and you will lose all followers if your account is deleted.
You can’t access your account while it’s suspended.

Can I Reactivate My Instagram Account If It is Permanently Deleted?
You can reactivate your Facebook account after you delete it permanently. This means that your old posts will be gone for good. However, you can still use your original profile name and password.
If you want to create a new account with your username, you must choose a different username. For example, if you used @username1, you could create a new account with @username2.
Your old posts will disappear from your timeline, but you can see them via the Explore tab.
How Long Can Your Instagram Account Be Disabled?
Instagram accounts are often used to promote businesses and brands. If you want to keep your account active, you must follow certain guidelines. One of those rules is that you cannot post anything that violates Instagram’s terms of use.
This includes posting copyrighted material, spamming people, sharing too many photos per day, or uploading illegal images.
If you violate one of these rules, Instagram could suspend your account. While there is no way to prevent this from happening, you can request that your account be reactivated.
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select Manage Disabled Accounts. From here, you can choose whether to allow your account to be reactivated or not.
You can also deactivate your account completely. In this case, you won’t receive notifications about new comments or likes. However, you’ll still be able to access your profile information.
When you log into your account, you’ll see a notice informing you that your account is temporarily unavailable.
