@inkedbymeethii I think I may have a solution, or at least something closely aligned with what worked for me after extensive research and experimentation.
One approach is to utilize Instagram’s dual app feature. This can typically be accessed through your phone settings under the apps section, or you can refer to tutorials on YouTube for precise guidance. Once configured, create a new Google account and complete the setup process. After that, restart your device, reinstall Instagram, and use the dual app environment to create a fresh account linked to the new email rather than a phone number. Enable two-factor authentication, and complete the verification process with care and attention.
Once the setup is complete, proceed with restraint. Maintain minimal activity in the initial phase, avoid excessive commenting or posting, refrain from following large numbers of accounts at once, and allow the account to develop organically over time. Avoid aggressive engagement, including mass messaging or DM activity.
Another alternative is the “Second Space” feature, available on several smartphones. This allows you to create an isolated environment on the same device. Set it up following a reliable tutorial if needed, then log into the new Google account within that space so the Play Store functions properly. Restart your device afterward, and ensure you use mobile data instead of public Wi-Fi for a cleaner setup. Install Instagram again and follow the same cautious onboarding process.
While there are no absolute guarantees, based on my experience and observations, this method appears to have a relatively high success probability, approximately 96–97%, provided it is executed with patience and consistency.
