Instagram App Install

Instagram is a lovely place to post pictures and keep up with friends, celebrities, as well as keep up with current trends. Logging in to Instagram is quite easy and you can log in using either your mobile phone or your laptop PC.

Before now, Instagram was only available on mobile phones but now, Instagram users can finally log into their account on their desktop to scroll through their feed as the photo-sharing network has added a desktop support feature to allow for scrolling when you do not want to use your phone. Instagram does have restricted features on a desktop at the moment, with users limited on how much they can post, see and engage with.

How to Log in to Instagram

As stated Earlier,there are two methods of logging in to your Instagram account;

On Mobile Phone

• If you don't already have the Instagram app go to the app store or play store and download the app
• Once it is installed open the app
• When it opens it will give you the option to either log in with Facebook or using your email, phone number or username.
• Choose your preferred login method, input the required login details, (that is either of the three above and your password) and click on log in. Your account will be logged in.

On Desktop

• Go to https://www.instagram.com/. 

• You will be meet a login page and it will ask you to log in either with your Facebook account (if your Instagram and Facebook accounts are linked) or for you to enter your email, mobile number and password. 
• Select the way you would like to login and sign into your account. 
• If you chose Facebook you will be required to put in your facebook login details but if you choose to login through Instagram you will have to put in your Email, phone number linked to the account or your account username (e.g., @maestro)

• You will see a slightly different Instagram than what you are used to on your mobile phone. You still will have your regular picture feed and you will be able to search for accounts on your desktop though. 

This steps are pretty easy and you won't have any problem following them at all. Hope this article was helpful.

Reactivate Facebook Account

You can reactivate your account whenever you want. Deactivating Facebook does not do much. All it does is put a kind of freeze on your information. Basically, deactivating is a way to cool off from Facebook for a while so, it is really, really easy to reactivate it and get back in quickly.

Reactivating Facebook means that your friends will reappear on your friend's list again and any new status updates you put up will start showing up in your friends' news feeds.

How to Reactivate Facebook Account

• Go to Facebook at www.facebook.com on your desktop or open the facebook app on your mobile phone.
• Log in with the two boxes at the very top right of the screen for desktop or the log in boxes in  the Facebook app.
• Put in the same email and password that you used when you last logged into Facebook.

And that's it!. You have reactivated your Facebook account and restored your old profile the moment you successfully logged back into Facebook. Facebook interprets any sign-in to mean that you want to use your account again, so it  reactivates your Facebook account immediately.


Note: The instructions above are only valid if you deactivated your account and not if you permanently deleted your Facebook Account. If you are not sure of what you did,you can go ahead and follow these steps to see if you can get back in.

How to Activate Disabled Facebook Account

A time may come when your Facebook account is either disabled or locked, and  you will be wondering what to do next. Its possible that your Facebook account was disabled by you or someone else. But if your account was deactivated by Facebook, then you will have to submit an appeal to the company.

Know however that depending on the reason for the deactivation of your account, Facebook may never Activate it. The only option, in that case is to create a new account and forget the old one.If your account has been disabled by Facebook, you’ll see a special message when you try to log in.

 Facebook may deactivate an account for any of the following reasons:

1. Making use of a fake name
2. Impersonating someone
3. Posting content that does not follow the Facebook Terms and Conditions
4. Continuing behavior that is not allowed on Facebook by violating Community Standards
5. Contacting other people for harassment, unsolicited advertising, promoting, dating or other conduct that is not allowed.

If you are guilty of any of these actions, then it is time to check if your account has been locked. Go to Facebook and log in using your username and password. From there, if your account has been disabled, then you 'll see 'Account disabled.'  If you think your account was disabled by mistake, you can file an appeal on Facebook.

How to fill an Appeal Form

• Open Facebook account disabled appeal form
• Fill out the following details:

1. The Email Address you use to log in Facebook.
2. Your Contact Email Address.
3. Your Full Name.
4. Your Date of Birth.
5. If you have any government issued ID's e.g., Drivers license, submit them in JPEG format. You can do this either by scanning the document or taking a photograph from your mobile. This will help Facebook to identify your identity and gives about 60% more chances for your account to get reactivated quickly.

 Finally, add details of your appeal in the “Additional info” section, and you are good to go from there. If you feel that you have gone against any of Facebook policies, Explain it in detail at "additional information" and request politely it was your mistake and is not intentional. Admitting to your mistake may convince the team and they may enable the disabled Facebook account

Now, you'll have to wait for a response from Facebook about the possibility of returning your account to normal. It may or may not happen, so keep your fingers crossed  and hope for the best.
