There is no doubt that Instagram can be a terrific platform in many ways, but there are times when mom, lifestyle and fashion bloggers or users decide to make their account inactive for a period of time. Fortunately, if you have come to the conclusion that you would like to reactivate your Instagram capabilities, the process is not terribly difficult. Please note, however, that if you have deleted an Instagram account entirely, it is not possible to un-do such an action. Deleted accounts cannot be reactivated, and it will be necessary to create a wholly new account. Reactivation Of An Instagram Account Once you have disabled an Instagram account temporarily, there is always the option of activating it. Most experts suggested waiting no less than 24 hours before doing so, however, because there is a lag in terms of the initial act of deactivating the account to take hold. Once you have decided to reactivate your account, do the following: First, open your Instagram app or go to the website. Then, log in with your sign-in details. If your user name and password have been entered correctly and authentication has occurred, the Instagram account will have been fully reactivated. You do not need to do anything more. Re-set Of An Instagram Password Should there be any difficulty logging in during the above-referenced step, it may be that your password needs to be reset. To accomplish this task, do the following: Go to the Instagram app or website, and click on the “forgot password” link. This is where you will decide whether to receive a reset link via username or by phone. It is also possible to complete the authentication process by using a linked Facebook account, if one was used in the past. Suspended Account Recovery Process There are times when Instagram accounts are disabled by the company itself. Reasons for this could include the user’s violation of Instagram’s terms of use such as posting content deemed unacceptable or inappropriate. Under such circumstances, it may or may not be possible to reactivate the Instagram account, and doing so may be a complicated process. An appeals process does exist through which you have an opportunity to plead your case and ask for a second chance. When an account is suspended, just sign in to Instagram per usual and follow the steps you see on the screen for lodging an appeal.
