Account recovery
I’ve lost access to my account.
The recovery form goes in circles, the automated replies say nothing, and someone may be posting from your account while you read this. I prove to the platform that the account is yours and bring it back through its own process, then find and undo whatever happened while you were locked out.
Most of my cases come from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. I work in your time zone, in Arabic or English.

01The file
What this is
An Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X or WhatsApp account that is hacked, disabled, suspended, or simply gone, and the recovery form leads nowhere. Sometimes with someone else posting from it while you watch.
What I do
Ownership re-established and the account back in your hands, with whatever was done to it while you were locked out found and undone. You resume as if it never happened, not as if you are starting over.

Back in your hands.
As if it never happened.
02Process
How a case runs.
Four stages, the same every time, so you always know where your case stands, and you never have to chase.
-
Request
The links, the grounds, and what you have already tried. One message is enough to begin.
-
Assessment
Whether it can be done, what it costs, and what a realistic outcome looks like, in writing, before anything starts.
-
Execution
Carried out without you needing to check in. You hear from me when there is something to report.
-
Completion
A verified result, and how to stop it coming back.
03Questions
What people ask about this case.
The ones people ask before they write about this in particular. The general questions are on the main page.
It is the usual situation, and it is not the end of the case. Ownership is established from history, not from the current settings: the original email, earlier devices, receipts for anything bought through the account, content only you could have, verification you completed in the past. The more of that you can find, the faster it goes.
No. Recovery works because I can prove to the platform that you are the owner. Without that proof there is no case, and I do not take it. That rule is what makes the rest of this legitimate.
Yes, and often easier to fix. Disabled and suspended accounts usually come from an automated decision or a mistaken report. The appeal has to be made on the right grounds with the right evidence, which is where most people's own attempts fail.
Only in the route. Instagram and Facebook run recovery through Meta's identity checks, Snapchat through its own support form and device history, TikTok through an appeal that is read once, X and WhatsApp through the phone number and the original email. Each accepts different evidence, and knowing which is most of the work.
Scope and price are agreed in writing before anything starts, and both depend on the case. You send the details, you get a figure back and a written read of what is realistic. No open-ended retainers, no sales call.

Your reference
You hear from me within 24 hours, on the line you gave, and every real message from me carries this reference.
Keep it. It is the only key to your case page, which shows the stage, the dates and my short notes. Give it only to someone who should be able to see that and send evidence for you: an assistant, a lawyer, a parent.
