Starting today, Instagram transfers will take seven full days, just like YouTube

We didn’t discuss this issue yet with our members, but IG rolled this new rule out a few weeks (months?) ago. Mainly, new owners cannot change phone numbers for 6-7 days. In most tickets, sellers understand that. However, due to an influx of impatient sellers we’re now officially making it a rule.

@Administrators and @moderators! Update your transfer notes.

That is all, thank you for reading.

Rules!

  • The grace period will be waived since buyers will have seven full days to glance over the account
  • The buyers can post a few test posts, but don’t go overboard
  • The buyers cannot make significant changes to the account during this duration
  • The buyers are responsible for the account when it’s under their control

For anyone that wants to change the phone number without having to wait, the seller can add the new phone number as two factor authentication and it’ll be changed in the profile as well

So that would mean we’re out of the transfer equation as staff, yes? Because it would be pointless to get us involved.

Only the phone number is problematic. You can still change the password and send it to the buyer

@swapd how would this change anything? you still have the credentials and the money of both parties, the only difference is the seller changes the phone number to the buyer’s phone number right after the buyer’s deposit but before sending you the credentials.

Well, so far, out of two tried tickets, the seller wasn’t able to add the buyer’s phone (no codes sent).

Did he try adding his phone no as 2 factor authentication?

Can I provide an opinion on the Instagram issue? It could be an amazing solution in the future if it is studied and it will be very fast

The buyer can provide his data, such as phone number and email, and the seller immediately enters the data, activates two-factor authentication for the buyer, delivers the account, and also sets a grace period for a full day.

The thing is, IG doesn’t always force the 7 day wait.

Yes, it is random and can be changed 7 days or more before that. That is why I am presenting this suggestion and it will be the best option because the data will be added through the primary device, meaning it will be approved.

The seller must be changing from his device to the new phone. This worked for me most of the times. Everything should be done from the sellers phone, until account is fully secured. Then once the buyer is logged in ( Then seller must log out ) and then wait 7 days. That’s the proccess that worked for me
