permanently disabled account – what CAN i do?

hi, i know this is probably a really stupid question to ask but would there be aaaaany possible way to get my account back at this point???

so around early monday morning (AEST), i opened instagram to check my messages as i usually would & was hit with a suspension notice telling me that my account had been suspended for "account integrity" & that i had to appeal within 180 days or else i'd permanently lose access to the account!!!!! i obviously understand with all the new AI/moderation stuff being added that mistakes are 100% going to happen + i genuinely have no idea what i could've done wrong anyways😭😭💔 i have had this account to myself for years now. the only possible reasons i can think of is either mass-unfollowing old friends or having a celebrity as my profile pic for a while lol

i had tried appealing several times using both the video selfie & ID scan option which apparently still didnt prove to meta that i AM a real person as the account was eventually disabled

anyways i'm honestly just really frustrated as its my main way of communicating with friends & family, especially as an older teen & because i have YEARS worth of stored content on there like story archives, conversations, memories etc that i really really don't want to lose forever

i've also noticed (after looking through this subreddit for quite some time) that there seems to be a massive suspension/ban wave recently so i would like to assume i'm not the only person this is happening to right now lololollll

if anyones been through something similar & managed to get their account back one way or another, please let me know asap!! i have absolutely no idea what to do anymore

thx in advance 🙃

Please help!

Hello to anyone who’s reading this. I’m super new to Reddit, and just giving this a shot.

I’m a mom, who’s recently started posting Instagram reels on things that interest me: dance, quotes and funny relatable content. I’m trying hard to grow, but as the saying goes, “everyone encourage you until you actually start doing something about it”, I’m stuck in my ~185 follower, ~500 view count per reel era.

If you could take a look and help me, provide inputs, perhaps give me a follow, like or share, I’d REALLY appreciate it! Please look up with happiebelle.

Thank you for encouraging a woman trying to reinvent and find her passions!

Enhanced Support Page Is Unavailable

Bro wtf is the point of paying for Meta Verified if the ONE feature they advertise support literally does not exist 💀

Every single time I click “Get Support” it just says “Page Unavailable.” Been like this for DAYS. Tried different phones, browsers, reinstalling, clearing cache, everything. Same garbage.

So we’re paying a monthly subscription for “priority support” but there’s no actual support?? How is this not a scam 😭

Meta really said:
“pay us for help”
then disappeared into another dimension.

Is anyone else dealing with this or did y’all actually manage to contact a real human somehow?

Please help 😔

Hello. First of all, I would be very, very, very, very grateful if you could help me 😔. Recently, my Instagram account, where I create content, was closed. I've always been careful about even the slightest bit of vulgarity. Despite this, my account was initially closed on the grounds that I was "under 13," and I had the chance to appeal. I appealed, but due to internet issues, the facial verification option disappeared, and I was forced to use ID verification. However, the process, which usually takes 3-5 days, was rejected as soon as I submitted my ID, and despite being over 13, my account is permanently closed, and I can no longer appeal. I suspect there was a problem with the ID verification or it wasn't properly investigated. Is there anyone who can help me, and what can I do?

Why does Instagram not let me follow people?

I did a “spring cleaning” of followers a few weeks ago and since I unfollowed a lot at once I think IG thinks I’m a bot and put a hold on my account and now it’s been weeks and I’ve reported the problem! Idk how to fix it. I’ve tried logging out, deleting the app, reporting the problem numerous times.

My Instagram accounts got suspended

My insta account is getying botted what do I do.

Is there any harm that comes from this, I'm not following any of the accounts or anything. Also is there anything I can or should do? I know it's being botted because there are over 20 brand new accounts with random names and blank profile pictures that are following me, but none of my reels or posts went viral or anything. Also 90% of my followers have an Indian person in their profile picture, posts, or reposts.

Loving someone only to lose them

I just want to vent. Was I really stupid to give all of me only to you the other person isn’t willing to have me like I wanted them. When I want marriage, the other person just wanted a friendship. And so I write.

To whomsoever it may concern,
Who was I to you?
Just a random person you met in life
Or someone whom you wanted to tear apart like there was nothing at all
Or someone to use at their convenience
I really don’t understand
You care but do you really care?
Why is it that you reach out to me many times
But then you never want me
You can think about committing with someone else but not me
You were okay to go with the flow
Without realizing you were just going with your flow not mine
Until one day I get kicked out
Kicked out of the door where I already built my home
And now I just don’t know where to go
So all I do is cry until my eyes run dry
Lay down until my mind gives up
Get up only to realize you are gone
And this way, I might not be a spouse but a writer to write a real feelings

But above all I don’t get it how I was and am the person you share your stuff the most.

Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I just write

Writer on instagram. Dm to know the username if interested.

Locked out of insts - no access to this number- selfie verification failing. please help me

I'm locked out of my Instagram account because it's linked to an old phone number I no longer have access to. When I try to log in, it only sends a verification code to that number. There is no option to receive a code via email.

Even when I use the email login link sent to my registered email, it still asks for the code sent to the old phone number.

I tried multiple video selfie verifications (different lighting, environments, angles) and all rejected. Password reset via email still requires phone verification. Contacting support via email but no response.

I still have full access to the email connected to the account, but I have no access to the old phone number anymore. Every recovery method ends up requiring that phone number, and there doesn't seem to be any alternative way to verify my identity. Has anyone successfully recovered their account in this situation? What actually works?

Is Someone Attempting to Hack My Instagram Account?!?

For reference to the photo, a few minutes before receiving this first message I started to receive SMS text messages from the phone number 32099. The texts were Instagram login codes that I never requested. Obviously I become worried that someone was trying to access my account so I do everything I can to secure the account including changing the password, setting up 2FA and scanning my own face incase I lost complete access to the account.

Around the same time I began to receive a large number of follow requests from accounts and people I have never heard of. I spent hours blocking and reporting each one. After an hour or two I stopped getting the texts and stopped getting follow requests so I assumed whoever it was got bored and moved on.

After receiving another Instagram code hours later I check to see my message requests and sure enough I have one from this person I've never met or heard of. They claim that I am pretending to be their "older brother" even though my account is private and I never post or message anyone.

Obviously I know they're trying to attempt to speak with me so I can give them the code but realistically what can I do? Am I just doomed to have my account hacked? I'm scared I'll go to bed and wake up in the morning wihout access to my account.

Am I safe to continue to block and ignore all messages since I secured my account or am I still at risk? Is this happening to anyone else, I would just like someone else's input on this.

I GOT DISABLED 😭

I had created an(other) account last year by the username @sanyesque for my artistic journey, exploration, and exchange. I had documented my work with so much love and passion. So far I have got to befriend many alike through my work and this platform. And, to see it all go in a snap shook me to the core. I had kept it completely organic and healthy, avoiding anything worthy of it getting disabled by Instagram. I had deactivated my account to take somewhile off the internet which was around 5-6 months ago and logged back in yesterday. Seconds after me logging in my account gets disabled. This is a mistake. I also have an older account since 2018 that I got verified right after this happened in case that may be helpful. Still confused with no leads. PLEASE help me out here!!

Can you build an online presence without becoming fake or performative?

I want to build an Instagram page and eventually a podcast, but after reading so much about influencer culture becoming fake and performative, I’m worried about losing authenticity. For creators who stayed grounded — what helped you avoid becoming consumed by numbers, validation, or online persona?

LOCKED ACCOUNT

My Instagram account got locked after suspicious activity, and I think someone may have accessed it because I found a post and a story uploaded that were not mine. (They were Elon Musk twitter profile, that’s why i’m saying ‘may have accessed’)

Now Instagram says “Device not recognized” even though I’m using the same old phone I always used for this account. It also asks for a backup code for two-factor authentication, but I never set up 2FA myself, so I don’t have any backup codes.

I tried:
\- same device
\- same Wi-Fi
\- browser instead of app
\- forgot password
\- hacked account recovery
\- trusted friends option

Nothing works. Every time it goes back to “Device not recognized” or asks for backup codes.

The account is not personal, so video selfie verification is not really useful.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there any way to recover it if someone enabled 2FA on my account?

Please help 😭😓
