Already a while ago, that the Social Network Instagram, has been presenting problems with the continuous stalking of hackers and malicious people who create Spam or Bots to create fake accounts is their system. As a result, the company implemented a defense mechanism that, while a little brakes on these attacks, created another problem with its users, given that many of them, were left with their accounts blocked and without the hope of being able to activate them.
It all resides in the verification code that Instagram supposedly sends to recover your blocked account, which never arrives and if it does, it doesn’t work.
But what’s wrong with the verification code
Instagram, request a phone number to send the verification code through SMS, at the time of receipt, you must enter that code in the box to verify your account. The problem arises, when Instagram tries to send you the famous code and you never receive it, no matter how hard you try and re-register the number, nothing that comes.
It is clear that the platform is presenting a kind of delay or fails when sending messages. Even if the message arrives, the code does not work in the same way because when it arrives, first they are illegible, arrive in another language and very messy. This results in thousands of users not being able to enjoy their accounts for being blocked simply because the famous unlock code never arrives and when it does, it doesn’t work.
