Can police find deleted instagram ip adress?
This is a question that has been asked many times, with no clear answer. However, we can try to piece together an answer based on the available information.
When you delete an Instagram account, the account and all its data are removed from the Instagram servers. This includes any photos, videos, messages, etc. that were associated with the account. However, some data may still be stored on the servers even after the account is deleted.
One such piece of data is the IP address that was used to create the account. This information is stored in the account logs and is not deleted when the account is deleted. Therefore, it is possible for police to find the IP address of a deleted Instagram account.
However, there are a few caveats. First, the IP address would only be useful to police if they were investigating a crime that was committed using the Instagram account.
Second, even if the police did have a use for the IP address, they would likely only be able to obtain it through a court order.
So, while it is technically possible for police to find the IP address of a deleted Instagram account, it is not something that would be easy or likely to happen.
As others have said, in order to track you down the police will have to ask Instagram and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to give them records of your activity.
However, neither of these companies are likely to give the police your information unless they deem the situation serious. I'm talking serial killer serious, not screwing around online serious.
The police at that point would have to get a warrant from a judge. No judge is going to issue a warrant for that.
having a fake instagram account isn´t exactly against the law xD so i don´t know why the police would even go after you xD
but yeah if you made a instagram account, the police will be able to find out. though you didn´t break the law, they do not have a legitimate reason to look for you.
Yes police have ways of finding out someone IP address just like they have ways of finding out deleted information on your computer including websites you have searched even after you have cleared your browsing history
Yes they can but it’s a lot of work for them so probably have to be a good reason.

The short answer is yes, if the issue is serious enough. For example if you make death threat to a person online, and it appears real. That person can contact the police, the police would get a warrant from court. They can use the warrant to compel Instagram to turn over all information about your fake account.
Just because you deleted the account, doesn't mean Instagram deletes it from their server. They most likely keep their data for years, if not longer. So they would turn over that account information to the police, which would include all the IP addresses associated with the account.
Now, the second part, just because the police is investigating you, doesn't mean you are in trouble. If you are just sending messages online without actually taking action to harm your friend. The police will most likely just give you a warning, even if they talk to you.
Can they? Yes.
Will they? No.
If you just said petty stuff, only local police departments will get involved, which don't usually get that stuff. You'd need something on the level on terroristic threats or cp to get the federal government involved, which could easily get it.
Anybody can find anything online because everything is recorded digitally.
20+ years ago, my boss told me:
"If you don't want it to appear on the cover of The New York Times tomorrow morning, don't do it." meaning uploading, posting, downloading, reading, whatever online.
Yes they can. And don't sound like you know how to use Tor or VPN, so yes they can find you.
But will the police try and arrest you? Most likely not. As long as you didn't threaten anyone. And even then the police are not going to waste their on someone like you. You don't sound like the sharpest tool in the shed. So you should just doing whatever you were doing and just forget about it.
Just stop bothering your friend and just go back to your normal life.
The amount of resources the police would have to commit just to do that would make it a gross waste of their time for such a harmless case.
Just don't be an asshole online and you can never go wrong.
It would require the police to contact instagram as well as your internet provider.
And nobody is going to do that over some internet harassment.
If you were a terrorist and a threat to national security then maybe somebody would care.
There is a record of IP addresses stored in Instagram's router. These can be traced back to the ISP (internet service provider) but it is difficult to trace them back to an individual computer.
nudes of a girl were leaked and i texted her to just inform that they were leaked, she thinks im blackmailing her but in the chats too i haven't blackmailed at all, i told her to show concern, she says she is contacting police so i deleted the account, what should i do
police has important things to to instead of checking whis bullied over IG. Nothing will happen. Obviously they can trace your activity online and IG cooperates with police if necessary, but this thing will never happen bruh
Yes. But it's unlikely they will incur that cost and time unless it's a major crime that has taken place.
Your ip changes depending on the radio mast/wifi that you're connected to, it wouldn't matter if the police would track it since they can't tie it to you.
No they can't ahahahaha 😜 sending message to someone is like going to their doorstep put a letter without anyone notice and run away 👌
I think the police will have better things to do with their than track down the IP address of someone who sent someone else messages on Instagram
Don't cheat and lie. Then you never have to worry about it.
No one is going to do anything about your little fantasy.
The police have better things to do. Next time don't be a dick.
From expierience... They can find 3rd grade book reports you done on charlottes web if they want. Better be crafty is all i can say
Difficult to say for sure. Question is ambiguous. But gut instinct tells me you're fckd. It's game over man.
If the polic is serious about the case they can... All the records are saved in database 😂
Unless your messages were threats, law enforcement will not even bother.
