I have a follower who will react to my stories with a clapping emoji but this person does not show up as having viewed my story. It’s not a big deal but it’s something that puzzles me about the platform. To be clear, I’m just a casual user and not an influencer or anything like that.

Meta disabled one of my accounts AGAIN. It was a public account, and my reach was finally getting better and better.

But then Meta disabled it again, and honestly, I don’t even know what the problem is anymore.

They seriously need to change their AI system, agents, or whatever sht is causing this because this is getting way too much.

I’ve literally tried everything everyone suggested:
1.Got a new device.
2.Got a new number.
3.Appealed through Chrome instead of directly through Instagram.
4.Used real IDs—my own fcking ID.

What else do they want?
My life? 🙏🏻

Honestly, Meta, this is so disappointing. It’s getting ridiculous at this point.

And this might genuinely be the 200th account of mine that has been suspended or disabled.

Still, if anyone knows how to recover a disabled Instagram account, PLEASE help me out.

So not done with you Meta.
But totally disappointed.

Yo también me he visto afectado por las prácticas de Meta relacionadas con la suspensión de cuentas, y sé que no soy la única persona.

Hay usuarios a quienes Instagram les deshabilita sus cuentas por acusaciones extremadamente graves, como fraude o explotación sexual infantil, sin proporcionar una explicación clara ni ofrecer un proceso de apelación que realmente permita solucionar el problema.

Al mismo tiempo, Meta ofrece Meta Verified como un servicio de pago que incluye acceso a soporte. Personas que ya están enfrentando problemas con sus cuentas pueden terminar pagando la suscripción con la expectativa de recibir ayuda y, aun así, no obtener una solución efectiva.

Esto no se trata simplemente de perder una cuenta de Instagram. Para muchas personas, Instagram es una herramienta de trabajo: dependemos de nuestras cuentas para comunicarnos con clientes, promocionar nuestro trabajo, generar ingresos y mantener proyectos que nos han tomado años construir. Yo mismo dependía de Instagram para trabajar, por lo que verme afectado por una suspensión de este tipo tuvo consecuencias reales.

Y hay algo que debemos aceptar: probablemente Meta no va a dejar de utilizar sistemas automatizados o IA para moderar sus plataformas. Por eso considero que una de las pocas cosas que podemos hacer como usuarios es documentar nuestras experiencias, exigir transparencia y hacer que estos problemas sean visibles.

Por eso decidí presentar un reporte ante la Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sobre mi experiencia.

Si tú también te has visto afectado por lo que consideras prácticas injustas o engañosas de Meta relacionadas con los baneos de Instagram, los procesos de apelación o Meta Verified, documenta lo que ocurrió y presenta tu propio reporte.

FTC — ReportFraud:

https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/

No estoy diciendo que nadie invente información ni exagere su caso. Reporten exactamente lo que les ocurrió, guarden sus pruebas y permitan que las autoridades determinen si existe un patrón.

Y si realmente queremos que Meta preste atención, compartamos estas experiencias fuera de Reddit: TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook y otros foros o comunidades donde puedan llegar a más usuarios afectados. No se trata de acosar a empleados ni de inventar acusaciones; se trata de hacer visibles experiencias reales y exigir mejores sistemas de moderación, apelación y soporte.

Si suficientes usuarios afectados documentamos nuestras experiencias y las hacemos visibles, será mucho más difícil que estos problemas simplemente desaparezcan dentro de un ticket de soporte.

A leaked recovery tip is spreading — no VPN needed. Just the right words in the right form. Meta hasn’t patched it yet.

🧵 SAVE THIS. DISAPPEARING SOON.

THE SECURITY APPEAL METHOD (EXACT STEPS):

1️⃣ Search for the Meta disabled account appeal form (official form — easy to find)

2️⃣ Fill it with the template below (copy-paste):

👇

“Hello Instagram Support Team,

I am requesting a manual review of my disabled account. I believe my account may have been compromised or affected by an error, and the activity that caused the restriction was not performed by me.

I kindly request you to review my case and allow me to verify ownership if required.

Thank you for your support.”

3️⃣ Replace with your details:

👤 Username: @yourusername

✉️ Email: youremail

4️⃣ Submit ONCE. Do NOT spam. Thousands are getting full access back in 2–8 hours. No tickets. No ID uploads.

⚠️ THIS FORM IS GETTING FLOODED. META WILL RESTRICT IT SOON. Screenshot the template. Bookmark it. DM it to your backup account.

💬 Tried this? Drop your result + timezone — the success map is blowing up.

📌 SAVE THIS. YOU WILL NEED IT SOMEDAY.

Main account got banned on 16 May.
Since then, almost every new account I’ve made has been suspended for “account integrity,” even though I’m using them normally.
My latest account (rawkrvsh) survived 23 days before being permanently disabled. To create it, I:
Created a brand new Gmail account.
Used Incognito mode.
Used a VPN.
Created the Instagram account using a relative’s Wi-Fi.
Used different account details from my previous accounts.
Chose a username that didn’t contain my old username.
The account grew slowly to around 40 followers and 60 following. I wasn’t spamming, using bots, mass following, or sending lots of DMs.
Meanwhile, my friends get banned, make a new account, and move on with their lives. 😭
I’ve also had accounts restored after appeal before, which makes the whole thing even more confusing.
Has anyone else been stuck in this cycle where every new account eventually gets flagged after their original account was banned? Were you ever able to use Instagram normally again?
Any advice would be appreciated because I’m genuinely out of ideas.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.
I’ve had a lot of problems with Instagram. They started banning my accounts even though I genuinely haven’t done anything wrong. Like many users here, I installed a VPN to change my IP, and that worked for a while, but eventually my accounts started getting banned again.
I wanted to know if there’s any way to change the device recognition patterns Instagram uses without doing a factory reset. I’ve changed my email addresses and used different VPNs multiple times, but Instagram still seems to recognize my device.
I honestly don’t know what else to do. I really want to use Instagram, but this has become a huge problem. If anyone has any genuine advice or has been through the same situation, I’d really appreciate the help. Thank you in advance!

My account was disabled for reasons that do not apply to me. One of the reasons stated was that I created new accounts, which is not true. The last account I created was around two years ago.
Another reason was that I was hiding my identity, even though the account is already verified with my real name and photo.
I contacted Instagram support through Premium Verified. They submitted a request for my case, but then informed me that it had been rejected and that their decision was final.
So, I sent emails five days ago, but I haven’t received a response yet. Is there any other solution?

My Instagram got suspended out of nowhere. I appealed through the app, but it immediately asks me to scan a government ID to prove it's me.

The problem is that it's an alt account where I used a fake name and random birthday when I made it. I also never posted any pictures/videos of myself on there, so there's nothing on the profile that can match my face or ID.

Whenever I upload my actual ID, it just gets rejected because the legal name and birthday don't match what's on the account.

I still have access to the original email and phone number linked to the account, but Instagram isn't giving me any option to verify through a login code or anything. It just keeps sending me back to the ID verification screen.

Has anyone dealt with this and managed to get their account back? Is there some support form I'm missing, a way to get the handwritten code email, or any way to get an actual person to review it?

Oi, pessoal! Preciso de uma ajuda.
Há alguns dias, minha conta do Instagram foi banida por suposto conteúdo apelativo envolvendo menores. O problema é que eu nunca publiquei, comentei ou compartilhei nada desse tipo, nem fiz qualquer coisa que pudesse justificar esse banimento.
Solicitei uma análise e o próprio Instagram informou que eu não havia infringido as Diretrizes da Comunidade. Mesmo assim, minha conta continuou inacessível e não consegui recuperá-la.
Cheguei a criar outra conta e, por algum motivo, ela também foi banida. Dessa vez, solicitei uma análise e o Instagram reconheceu o erro e me desbloqueou.
Desde então, tento recuperar minha conta original, mas não consigo. Não faço ideia do que aconteceu ou de como resolver isso.
Alguém já passou por uma situação parecida ou sabe o que eu poderia fazer para tentar recuperar a conta? Sinceramente, fiquei muito transtornado com tudo isso, principalmente porque não fiz nada para receber esse tipo de punição.

I can’t send any texts nor can I access any of my old ones, is this happening to anyone else or is my account gone 😭🙏🏼
