Let’s say you’ve liked taking a vacation from social media and would like to access or reactivate your Instagram account. If so, you may accomplish it quickly by just using your previous Instagram login credentials to log in to the IG app via your mobile device or computer. When you log in to your account, all of your images, likes, comments, followers, and other engagement metrics will be instantly unlocked.  

Sometimes, this doesn’t immediately work, which means that your IG account might not function at this moment if you deactivated it just a few hours ago. One day later, try to log in. If you cannot, you may want to contact Instagram Support to access your profile.
