It’s been a little over a week since Instagram deleted the username for user “jessica_lee.” The username was last seen on the platform on July 25th. It’s been reported that Instagram is looking into the deletion and is considering whether to restore the username to users who have already registered with the social media platform. It’s not clear how long it will take for Instagram to restore the username to users who have registered with the social media platform. However, it’s likely that it will take some time as Instagram is looking into why the username was deleted in the first place.


No, you cannot claim a deleted Instagram username. Instagram is a company that owns the rights to the username and they will not be able to give it to you.

Instagram usernames can be reused. However, it is unlikely that someone will want to use your old username because it will be associated with you and your posts.

Instagram usernames can be up to 15 characters.
