If you are having difficulties accessing your Instagram account, checking server status websites like Downdetector may help identify whether it is just temporary issue or more permanent one.
Clear the app cache on your phone – this may remove any old data that might be preventing you from signing in.
Logging In
Once your account has been created, Instagram allows you to log in using either your username or email. From here, you can build your profile and begin sharing photos and videos. If you prefer another name for yourself as username, simply change it in settings.
Signing into Instagram with your Facebook login credentials can also be done easily; this feature can come in especially handy if you don’t have access to your phone or email.
If you are having issues logging into Instagram, try switching devices or browsers – it could be related to either your device or internet connection; Downdetector also helps identify server issues.
Instagram may consider your activity suspicious and temporarily restrict your access to the platform, such as following too many accounts too quickly or engaging with other users in ways that violate its terms of service. In such instances, allow some time and try logging back on again later. If this occurs to you, wait a few hours and try logging back in later on.
Creating Your Account
Instagram is a photo and video-sharing social network that enables you to follow friends, view their photos and videos, comment or like posts and follow other users. The service is free and available both for iPhones and Android smartphones; when creating an account you must provide valid contact details as well as choose both username and password combinations.
Your Instagram username (known as a handle) should reflect both you and your business name in an engaging, original way. Emojis can be included as part of the handle but special characters and periods should be limited to 30 in total.
Instagram allows users to quickly and easily change their display name or username on iOS or Android devices by tapping the person icon at the top right corner of their profiles, typing their new names over text box provided and tapping “Done” (iOS) or “Submit” (Android). If your desired username already exists on Instagram, an alert will notify you to consider other alternatives if necessary.
Resolving Login Issues
If you are receiving the “Sorry, there was an issue signing in” error on Instagram, this could be caused by incorrect username or password data or servers having issues.
Whenever this occurs, it’s advisable to switch devices and internet connections as soon as possible. Furthermore, clearing your app cache could also help remove corrupted application files that might be slowing down performance of your account.
If these steps don’t help, if your account remains disabled despite repeated efforts at troubleshooting, you might need to temporarily suspend it by visiting your profile and selecting either “Forgot Password” or “Need More Help.” You will then be given a link or security code which you can use to log back in; alternatively you could contact Instagram support; they usually can quickly resolve your problem.
Getting Help
When you experience Instagram login problems, there are various methods you can take to get help. One approach is asking the community for assistance – many have had success posting their issue in Instagram forums and seeking advice from fellow users.
Another way to reach out directly to Instagram is through their support request process on either their website or app. Be sure to include as much detail in your request so the Instagram team can effectively address and resolve your issue.
Usually when an account has been temporarily disabled, this means it has been used too frequently or engaged with too many accounts within too short of a period of time. You will receive notification that it has been temporarily blocked when trying to post, like, follow/unfollow someone.
If none of these methods have worked and you still cannot log in, you may need to appeal your account status. To do this, visit Instagram Help Center and browse their troubleshooting guides.
