Instagram OG "auto update"

I have a IG account that was created with a temporary mail, so the OG is non-existant…when I reached out to a “friend” that has connections in FB to change it, he told me that instagram auto-updates the OG every 6 months or so, to the current mail that is set on the account. Have you heard of something like this?

very interesting. But unfortunately … not heard about that.

Are you saying the New email becomes the OG email?

Yes, after a certain period the current mail becomes OG - at least thats what he said.

Does anyone know if you are still able to retrieve an Instagram account with the OG email? I’ve noticed the link for more help on the trouble logging in screen is gone.

You have to do it on a phone you’ve logged into the IG with previously.
