Instagram account reactivates itself after deactivation
leila -
Hello,
The title is not complete: Instagram account that reactivates itself after temporary account deactivation is the correct title.
What is this due to???
Four weeks ago, I wanted to take a break from social media on my main account, so I deactivated my main Instagram account, everything went well.
Three days later, I go on Instagram on another invisible account (2 followers here, 3 subscriptions there) and in my messages, I see my profile, with the account name and its profile picture intact. Normally, when you deactivate an account, the profile picture disappears and the name is shown as "Instagram User."
I am shocked and I don't understand what's going on, I click on my profile and I see that it is not disabled at all, and that everyone has access to it.
The same thing happens when I type my username in the search bar, you can find it directly and it is accessible to everyone.
I don't understand what is happening, and those who know Instagram well know that it is useless to send them a message, they NEVER respond, even when you have a real problem.
So I log into the account, and when I want to deactivate it again, it tells me that I have to wait a week, which I do, and a week later I deactivate it again, and it goes well again, it is untraceable, etc.
And one week later (today) I see that it has been automatically reactivated again... This worries me...
Could someone have my password and log into my account with impunity? Or could it be a bug in Instagram? In any case, it annoys me, because I have to wait a week each time to deactivate it again...
It irritates me, I'm thinking about directly deleting my account and leaving Instagram if this continues.

I changed my password and activated two-factor authentication, it's been 6 days so far and it is still disabled whereas before it would reactivate after 3 days.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Hello
I had the same problem and I don’t understand how it could have reactivated by itself, it worries me.

Hello, I just discovered the same thing just now: my account was disabled for exactly a week and now I've just seen that it has been reactivated by itself... And I can't even redo the action because it tells me to wait a few days... I think it's an "Insta" bug but it's very annoying...

Hello
I have the same problem. This is the third time I deactivated my account, but after a few days, I receive an email saying that at your request, your account has been reactivated, while that is not the case!
I even changed the password and activated two-factor authentication, and normally if someone tries to access my account, I should receive a text message, but that’s not happening either. I have never received a text message. I don't understand if it’s a bug or if someone has access to my account, email... and Instagram does not respond to my problem reporting messages.
