Instagram aggressively blocks known disposable mail domains. Expect to need 2–3 New Address regenerations before one is accepted. The address pool rotates regularly to stay ahead of the blocklists.

Usually a few seconds to a minute. If nothing arrives after a minute, the receiving domain may be on Instagram's blocklist — generate a fresh address and try again.

Instagram's terms generally don't ban disposable addresses outright, but they do prohibit creating multiple accounts to bypass bans or rate limits. Use a temporary address for legitimate privacy reasons — read their ToS for the specifics that apply to you.

The inbox is hard-deleted on expiry, so you can't receive password-reset emails sent to that address afterwards. If you need long-term account access, copy the password down before the timer ends — or use a real email for accounts you care about.

Instagram typically sends the verification code email first (subject: "Confirm your Instagram email"). After signup, you may also receive welcome and product update emails — all of these land in your temporary inbox until the timer runs out.
