Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?
*****
Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting steps have you tried, *****?
i have tried everything, my insta profile has been hacked
and the person who hacked it have posted and sent things to my friends
its a scammer
Ok, you can't reset your password, correct?
cant so anything
the scammer connected my account to a 6 digits code
Then you need to follow the instructions below:
The next part:
If you request support for an account with photos of you, you'll be asked to take a video selfie of you turning your head in different directions to help Instagram check that you’re a real person and confirm your identity. Once you submit the video selfie to help verify your identity, you’ll receive an email from Instagram at the secure email address you provided. This video is needed to ensure you are a real person and that you are who you say you are.
Keep in mind that the video you submit will never be visible on Instagram and will be deleted within 30 days.
Let me know if any of the steps are not quite clear.
I'll be happy to clarify them for you!

Let's try to send your selfie video verification to Instagram support.
🙏
Before we start, may I ask you to reinstall the Instagram app?
I just did, do you want me to do it again?
In this case, no.
In the following messages, I will provide you with step-by-step instructions. I would be grateful if you could tell me when you complete every step.
Thank you
yes
1. From the login screen inside the Instagram app, tap "Forgotten password?". Select your Username, put it in the field, then tap Next.
Thank you.
Yes
just did that
2. After that you'll see a screen with a linked email and phone number, but you need to tap "Can't reset your password?".
yes
just did that
3. On the following screen please choose the option "Try another way".
I am still getting the same wrong message
Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
Go Back
Do you have any other device to perform it from there?
Yes, just a second
hold on a minute
Sure. Take your time.
Sorry, i dont have any other device
I got you.
That's okay.
i thought i did
In this case, I'd recommend waiting 24 hours and repeating the steps I sent.
Is it possible for you to try? Jus to see if it works, just not proceeding it
🙊
Unfortunately, I can't do this. I'm sorry.
Thats ok, but thank you so much 😊
i was just wondering
I can duplicate the instructions to your email if you want.
if it does work, how long does it usually take for instagram to proceed this process?
I understand that it takes some days, but can it take weeks?
Or can they accidentally miss my request or my issue
The review process may take up to two business days, and while they review your video selfie, you will not have access to your account until they confirm it's you.
Aaah
can they delete it if many people report the account?
Yes, Instagram disables your account if it is being reported repeatedly under the same category.
Sorry, i am bombing you with questions here 😅 i have another question
Don't worry, that's my job.
i have reported it and sent them an email.. does it usually take time to respond on the email or? Because i have read alot of comments from people where they usually dont get any replay, and it has been a month for them
They usually don't answer.
So the best case here is to report it and do a video of my face so they can proceed it and see if its me?
Yes, and after that, they'll contact you for sure.
You have been to a great help, thank you sooo much 🙏🙏🙏
Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Not for now, i think i have everything that i need. But i will contact you again if anything comes up
thank you so much
