Instagram handle

Hi,
I have a question. I have an Instagram page that have 17K followers, I’ve had a few posts deleted and 2 story because violations of the community guidelines. Now the page is not growing for 3 months I think, everything dropped.

My question is this, if I create a new page with the same name, can I change the handle from the banned page too the new one without loosing the handle ?

Im just thinking that if I change the username from the banned one, too not be some boot or some automated tool that grab the handle, I don’t want too lose this handle…

Or what should I do to escape from this ban / shadowban / restricted nightmare ?

Yes you can create a new page and change the username.

That should not be a problem.
