Instagram, a mobile phone photo sharing service, was founded in San Francisco, California, in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. The name, Instagram, is a combination of Instant Camera and Telegram.
Originally created as a free app for IOS systems only, the program proved so popular that a platform for Android phones was released in 2012. Users can take pictures with their mobile phone, add filters and geotags and/or hashtags, then upload them to the platform. The company had more than 10 million subscribers in their first year and as of April of 2017, more than 375 million subscribers.
In 2012, Facebook acquired the company for $1 billion in cash and stocks. The company has come under fire recently for what is perceived as censorship, as well as illegal or improper uploads from some users. Company headquarters are still located in San Francisco, California.
The company announced in May 2019 that millions of Instagram “influencers” had their private contact data exposed by hackers.
An Italian research firm, Ghost Data, stated in May 2019 that they discovered a coordinated campaign to destroy the Trump presidency.

HELP US!
For almost a YEAR we have been trying to get into our business Instagram page. We have the correct logins and password but each time we succesfully login we are told “we detected an unusual login attempt” and says the system is sending me an email with a code to authenticate. After over 100 tries we NEVER receive that email. I checked my account information and the correct email and password are being used. We just never connected a cellphone to that account. How can we get past this so we can use the account with FB properly to connect with our customers. I do NOT want to change my Instagram handle and create a new account. Please please please please please please help us gain access to our account which Instagram servers are not properly validating. The account is contact@ dollarnailart.com with an Instagram ID of dollarnailart
Please help us Insta-Gram YOu are our only hope!
I had my art page for about 6years, it got hacked and disabled for over 3weeks and I kept getting automated replies to my emails to support.
A colleague at work recommended @stedcodes1 on Instagram. He’s a programmer and a Greyhat hacker. Recommending him because he’s fast and reliable.
My Instagram was copied a month ago. I sent everything to them and yet the closed me down and the fraud account is still pretending to be me. I don’t care how much proof I’ve given them they won’t change it.
This page named @acacia_tea_12 is posting nudes and false information and I think its unstable for instagram
My Instagram won’t open up all of a sudden. A couple days ago it quit letting me on my page or anywhere near Instagram. All it will show is the camera logo in the middle of a white field with “from Facebook” at the bottom center of that white field. It happened on my laptop and both of my cell phones at the same time. I can’t figure out what happened overnight to my access of my Instagram page.

Hi how can i take away the old location address on the instagram?
Hi! My Instagram name is @laurenjbanks . My personal Instagram page has been down for over a week but my other account works just fine. I spend a lot of time on Instagram and have found it near impossible to find a solution or contact anyone about the issue as it’s not happening to anyone else. It says “Couldn’t refresh feed” & “something went wrong. Please try again.” This is beyond frustrating and even more frustrating there is no way to contact Instagram about it!!!! I don’t want to have to make a new account and start over.
There is a profile called HumbleSmithParkey Who is focusing on befriending females. Once he friends them he leads them to believe he is needing help to financially transfer money. I have every reason to believe this person is a fake account. I have been talking to him for over a month and have copies of the messages. I have looked everywhere for a way to report this account and submit my screenshots proving his intentions. I am worried that somebody not as strong as I will fall into his trap and become the victim of identity theft or of fraud. His tactics are classic for this kind of behavior and for a female who is needy his promises and terms of endearment would make her weak and vulnerable. I am a very strong independent female and some red flags from the beginning but gave him the benefit of the doubt in hopes that he was who he said he was but then his true colors came out .
