To confirm your identity on Instagram, the app will go through a Text or SMS verification process. Instagram will send a text or SMS code to your number and you can copy/paste it on the Instagram Verification Screen. But, sometimes Instagram doesn’t send you the verification code/test/SMS on the number. Don’t worry, there is a simple fix to help you out.
Why is Instagram Not Sending me a Verification SMS/Text Code?
As troublesome and chaotic as it might sound, Instagram puts your number in the list of blocked numbers, resulting in that number not receiving the verification text code.
There are other reasons as well like your network service being down and signals dropped to the bare minimum, but those are things for laymen to guess as well.
With a set of tricks, you can also see whom you accidently unfollowed on Instagram as well.
Simple Fix for Instagram Not Sending SMS/Text Code
- Open your Instagram App
- Go to Settings
- Check Blocked Numbers
- Unblock the Number you are using
Somehow, Instagram randomly puts your number in the blocked list, not sending you the confirmation email.
Why does Instagram Require Identity Confirmation?
In the era of technology and information, people are always trying to get hold of others’ accounts. To safeguard your privacy and personal information, Instagram and other social media applications have this process set up, where the owner will have to identify his/her Identity to open the account. It is for your own protection.
