Instagram is debuting a new helpful feature for users, centering on those whose previous accounts were hacked and stolen from them, as well as people who forgot or lost their login credentials. This new help desk does not have an exact name, as Instagram calls it the hub for "hacked" profiles, one that could assist people in retrieving their old accounts back.
While it is easy to create different accounts on Instagram now, especially with the emergence of online shops, Finstas (fake Instagram), dump accounts, and the like, there are still those wanting to regain what was once lost.

The famous social media from Meta recently announced its latest steps towards improving the safety and security that people have online. According to Instagram's latest blog post, a new hub is here to help people retrieve their old accounts, with the company helping them in the process of getting it back for their needs.
In this new hub, Instagram will help users through the process of retrieving their accounts in different ways. It includes changing old and forgotten passwords, helping override two-factor authentication, and regaining access to disabled accounts.
The emergence of social media has transformed people's lives, and this transitioned people to put their personal experiences online, with losing their accounts akin to identity theft or the loss of their persona.

Retrieve One's Account on Instagram Through Hacked
Instagram's new website to help retrieve one's account is now available for people to access, and this will take them through a series of steps leading to their retrieval of it. People will be able to choose which account they need assistance with, especially if one's credentials have linked to accounts that were also lost in the past.
Instagram's Quest to Providing Online Safety
While Meta is a company that people consider to not center on online safety, the social media conglomerate still delivers different updates for its various apps, also including Instagram. One of the features available now is its mission to uphold teenagers' safety online, especially with predators and groomers looming freely on the internet.
The action towards protecting the minority is a global action that Instagram took upon itself to push online, with its massive reach in the current social media spectrum where it plays a massive role.
There is an AI that Meta brought for Instagram and it is to focus on uploads and content from its users, one that is capable of detecting violations against its Community Standards, and limiting it from being seen. Here, creators may review what Instagram has limited on the platform, and contest if they feel like they did not violate anything on the platform.
Instagram's quest to provide online safety is still ongoing, and the company is not yet stopping in providing the public the chance to use the platform without any worries. The recent "Hacked" hub aims to help them get back the old, forgotten, or stolen accounts, a feature that now helps users to regain access to their previous lives.
