Attorney General method worked for me! Disabled on August 13 and i got my account back
Started filling out the Account Access form every day starting on the 13th and filed with California AG on the 14th. Did not have much success with the Account Access form, some tickets were closed immediately and some are still open.
I received a letter from the AG on the 21st (date mailed was 18th) that stated they would be writing to Instagram about my complaint. Received email from Instagram on 23rd that my account was reviewed and they did not find that I violated T&C and I got access to my account!
I was also having issues with receiving the code for the first 5 days. I made sure the 32655 text number was unblocked on my phone and didn’t open my account for 3 days so the the number of requests I had made would reset. Finally got the code when I reopened! Good luck everyone! Just be persistent!
