In this post, we’ll show you what to do when you can’t log in to Instagram after changing your phone number.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we’ll show you a few possible fixes that you can try out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Can’t I Log In to Instagram? (5 Reasons)<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you can’t log in to your Instagram account after you’ve changed your phone number, there could be many reasons for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many Instagram users often face login issues, and this has become completely normal these days.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re having a hard time logging into your Instagram account, here are a few reasons that might be causing that issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Internet Connectivity is Poor<\/b><\/h3>\n

The most common reason for this issue might be a poor internet connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your internet connectivity isn’t that great, you might not be able to log in to your Instagram account easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re currently using WiFi for your internet, try shifting to a mobile or cellular connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or even better, try switching off your internet connection and then connect your internet again. This should resolve any internet connection issues on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your internet connection is fine and you can access other internet services seamlessly, like Google or YouTube, then your internet connection has nothing to do with your Instagram login issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Instagram Down<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another frequently encountered reason for this issue is Instagram downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can’t log in to your Instagram account, this could be due to temporary outrage or maintenance in the Instagram servers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though Instagram is a huge company equipped with high-tech servers, this can also sometimes go down like any other server.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can use an online solution called <\/span>IsItDownRightNow<\/span> to find out if Instagram is going through any downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you notice Instagram is going through a downtime, then you can’t do much about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

You just have to sit back and relax until Instagram fixes this issue. Mostly this should not take more than an hour to get fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Your Account Has Been Banned or Deleted By Instagram<\/b><\/h3>\n

If Instagram bans or deletes your account for violating any terms and conditions, you can’t log in to your account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instagram has a set of community guidelines that everyone has to follow. If you don’t follow the guidelines and go against them, Instagram holds the right to terminate your account immediately without any prior notice.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you upload any prohibited content, hate speech, or indulge in any spammy fraudulent activity, Instagram can ban your account temporarily or permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, Instagram will send you a notification or email with a complete explanation for the ban.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven’t got any of these types of notifications or emails, and if your friends can see your account live, you’re on the safer side.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Your Account Has Been Hacked<\/b><\/h3>\n

Instagram has more than 1.3 billion active users. And as the popularity of Instagram is growing, hacking attempts are growing rapidly as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thousands of Instagram account gets hacked every single day due to various security loopholes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can’t log in to your Instagram account, it could be because it’s being hacked and the hackers have changed your email address and login credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can’t get access to your hacked Instagram account<\/span><\/strong>, you can raise a complaint to Instagram support, and they’ll help you to get your account back after a few verifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. You Have Entered The Wrong Login Credentials<\/b><\/h3>\n

Have you double-checked the password and email address or phone number while logging into your account?<\/span><\/p>\n

If not, do it right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe nothing has happened to your Instagram account, but still, you can’t log in to your Instagram account because you have entered the wrong login credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n
