For the past few weeks, my instagram account keeps interrupting my activity by "asking" me to verify that I am indeed the user of my account. For that, I am asked to provide my phone number, which I have always refused until now. They don't even specify whether Instagram will be able to use this number, and after numerous attempts and futile searches, I AM REQUESTING HELP!!!!

Hi,
Is it that hard to add a "hello" at the beginning and a "thank you" at the end of your explanation? ;-)
As for the phone number, it's a verification, similar to what Facebook does (Instagram being bought by Facebook...) they apparently use the same methods.
This verification adds a layer of security to your account and especially, in case of need, allows you to regain access to your account more easily.
As for its use, it is (theoretically) exclusively reserved for Instagram services that may use it in case of password forgetfulness and perhaps later for two-factor authentication if it becomes available.
Best regards,

There's no need to have a Tiger on your computer if there's an ass behind the screen... Or a penguin for Linux users or an apple for Mac users... ;)

and thank you for the information :)
As for the lack of courtesy, it's probably due to frustration, sorry about that.
GOODBYE.
I have never needed to give my number on Facebook, it's optional.
Have a nice day everyone.
