Instagram Messages Restriction Still there after successful Review
my account received a 30 day messaging restriction for "fraud, scams and deceptive practices."
I requested a review immediately, verified email and phone OTP, and the same day at 21:06 IST I received this message: "We removed restrictions from your account. We've found that our technology made a mistake when adding restrictions to your account."
However, Account Status is still showing the old enforcement:
- Details page still says "You can't send messages. Ends on 4 Aug 2026"
- Account Status home shows "Some of your activity may go against Community Standards"
- Orange warning icons remain on
○ Removed content and messaging issues
○ Features you can't use
(Limits to your reach and Monetisation show green)
I have offloaded and reinstalled the app, logged out and in, and waited over 24 hours. The warning persists. This looks like a sync or display bug after an overturned decision.
