I deactivated my Instagram account around a month ago due to exams and decided to reactivate it a few days ago. Ended up not being able to log into my Instagram account because of the google authentication app thing, I checked the app on my phone and there were no codes. Most likely a bug caused by deactivating my account.
I successfully reactivated the account through my linked Facebook account. HOWEVER I am still unable to log into the Instagram account due to the same problem. So I tried to use the account center in Facebook to change my two step verification methods for Instagram however it keeps saying that “you cannot make this change at the moment” I’ve waited for a few days and it still doesn’t let me. ( it allows me to change the settings for Facebook but not for Instagram)
Anyone had similar problems before? Please let me know how you solved it
