Question

Recently, I've encountered an issue while running the editProfile method: "You need an email or confirmed phone number."

I regularly purchase accounts from 3rd party sources and have always been able to edit them without any issues - changing the first_name, username, and biography. However, this week, when I acquired some new accounts (from multiple 3rd party sources) and attempted to edit them, the Instagram API has been returning the aforementioned message when I run the editProfile method. Interestingly, when I try to log into these accounts using a browser and manually edit the profile, everything works fine.

Has anyone else experienced this issue before?

Thanks.
