Is there a way around this? If yes, what?

There is the usual wait of 14 days, which can be skipped if you change to a business or creator account, at least temporarily.

Switch your profile to a Professional (Business) account, change your username, then switch back to a Personal account. This “resets” the timer and lets you update your name again immediately. Results vary, but it’s worked for many users in 2025—just ensure your new name isn’t taken and don’t repeat the trick too often

Normally, you have to wait for 14 days after changing Instagram name. But if the name is changed by mistake or there is an urgent need, then till now Instagram does not officially provide a direct option to skip this waiting period. If you are planning to delete the account or have a verified account, then you can contact Instagram support and request for an early name change. Otherwise you have to wait for 14 days. Tip: Username is different - you can change it at any time.
