r/FixMyInstagram

So today when I woke up I opened my insta and it showed me it's been suspended for violating community guidelines, specifically sexualization of kids. Dude, that's a big thing, my whole personality is about liking older women, where did this come From. I appealed but now it's saying it's permanently disabled, I searched online I can't find anything, for the record, I've never liked, commented or even interacted with reels that may sexualize kids, I ain't into that. I wouldn't have cared much for my account tbh I never post, in 4 years I have about 3 posts in total. I just don't wanna lose my chats. Anybody know any way I can get this fixed?

My specifications :

iPhone X
iOS 16.7.16 (Build 20H392)
App version : 437.1.0 (seems to also be the case on 437.0.0)

Tl;dr : Instagram app crashes because it doesn't support your iOS version. Appstore still installs it anyway which makes it constantly crash as it is trying to launch.

I will go into the details of this bug for those who want to know more about it.

For anyone who is experiencing any issues on this specific Instagram version (many were mentioning this issue on this sub-reddit), the constant crash is happening due to a missing symbol that is not implement on iOS 16 and earlier versions.

The specific symbol (textSelectionDidChange) is expected in VisionKit.framework but due to the app not finding this symbol it will result in a crash.
This symbol has been implemented in iOS 17.0 as a part of the ImageAnalysisInteractionDelegate
protocol.

Usually the Appstore will only allow you to download versions of apps that are fully compatible with your hardware and software but in this case it seems that it installs the latest version of the Instagram app anyway.

Fix :

If you have a jailbroken device then you can simply downgrade to a previous stable Instagram version using the AppStore++ tweak or some other method involving downloading the IPA file dump of an older, if your device is not jailbroken then you might be doomed.

Is anyone else also going through this pls help me out

I just wanted to ask would I get banned for using my account in another country that i’m traveling to? I recently recovered my account, so i’m scared i’ll get flagged for using my account outside of my home country.

I’ve never had a IP ban, or any type of serious ban nor am I device banned & I have used my account under public wifi multiple times & nothing happened thankfully.

Please give me a genuine answer & let me know what you think.

After instagram went down i had lost all of my accounts from an IP ban, i tried to make new accounts and they were getting banned instantly, no appeal would work until i done this, for iphone only ( i think )

go into settings -> general scroll down until you see Transfer or rest iphone, press rest all network settings, once it is done reconnect as normal and make a new account.

So far so good, I haven’t lost the account yet, I made a new Email for it also! This might be known by many but I only figured it out and it could help someone else!

no matter how much I have tried like creating new email, logging and unplugging my wifi, I also refix my wifi to change ip address and lastly tried with vpn but still, a lot of my accounts were either suspended or permanently disable. but, apart from that, I have seen that almost more than 5 million accounts or randomly, either suspended or disabled. Will this ban wave ever stop any time sooner? Will we ever be able to create a new account that never get suspended? cuz people saying the solution is getting new phone, new phone number. It’s not able to a lot of people as the fact that phone numbers are linked to a lot of documents, national IDs and for students, they often connected with their university details and everything and what about those who recently got their phone The phones are not even like a year old, but still they have faced this continuous ban wave where they have lost more than five accounts

the app has started refusing to let me log into my primary account. Every single time I type my exact, 100% correct password, it just shows Incorrect Password
web browsers work perfectly fine with the same password
When I create a new account it logs in but the issue comes back when I logout of that account and try to login the same account again so far I’ve tried
Resetting the phone reinstalling the app using a vpn trying to login in through a link resetting the password network swapping the video selfie thing it works perfectly fine on my mums iPhone what should I do?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here has been through something similar or knows how to escalate this further.

On June 15th, between 8–10 PM, my Instagram account was hacked. When I got home and checked my phone, everything had been changed — my email, phone number, and profile photo were no longer mine.

I've been a Meta Verified (blue tick) subscriber since June 2024, so I contacted Meta support multiple times and opened several cases. After a lot of back and forth, they did manage to recover my login and give me access back.

But shortly after, Instagram disabled my account — and from what I understand, it's because of the unusual activity the hacker caused while they had control. Meta has now told me this is a "final decision", even though:

• I did nothing wrong
• They already helped me recover the account, which shows they know it was a hack
• The suspicious activity was 100% caused by the hacker, not me

This account isn't just numbers to me. I built it from 0 to 265K followers over years of real work, and it holds highlights of family members who have passed away — memories I can't get back if this account is gone for good.

I'm ready to verify my identity, share screenshots of my growth journey, or provide anything else that proves this is genuinely my account and that I've done nothing to violate their policies.

If anyone knows:

• A way to escalate past the "final decision" appeal
• A Meta contact who handles Meta Verified subscriber cases specifically
• Any other channel that's actually worked for someone in a similar situation

I'd really appreciate it. Tagging in case anyone from Meta sees this:

Thank you for reading — any help or shared experience means a lot right now.

I'm just Fuckedup At this point! Instagram is Worse. Chrome , Honista, Other versione of Instagram, Differ device , Mail , Number and Ip! Tried everything but I can't get back my account! Even IP blocked and why? What's the evidence they have that I did something wrong? I have proofs that I'm right thn why I'm still suffering?? That's soo disgusting I'm Done at this point

Do you think Instagram will fix its account ban system, or will accounts keep getting suspended like this? What's your opinion?
