Revive an old Instagram Account or Restart?
Posted by on February 1, 2026 at 3:05 pmHi all!
I have a travel Instagram account that had 25k followers. The Account is 14 years old! It had a decent engagement once upon a time. But post pandemic, I had stopped posting on the account. In the last few years of inconsistent posting, I now have 17k followers.
My engagement now is around only 1-2%!
In last year, I posted content on running more than travel. And these days, my running content gets more views than travel contents.
However, I want to restart my travel blog and social media (IG, Pinterest etc).
So, Should I try to revive this account, or start fresh?
Can anyone here can provide some sound advice. i will be really grateful.
Thanks, everyone!

You can revive and continue where you stopped.

Should you revive it instead of restarting, yes or no?
