How long does instagram block you from commenting

Instagram Comments Blocked? How To Stop It [2023]

Why can’t I comment on Instagram?

You’ve had your Instagram comments blocked!

IG continues to battle spammers, and innocent users are caught in the aftermath.

Duplicate comments, and comments with multiple users tagged, are likely to be blocked by Instagram.

But, there are lots of possible reasons your comments are not showing!

Read on, I’ll cover them all.

Why Is My Comment Not Showing on Instagram?

If you’re not able to add a comment, first try updating your app to the latest version.

If your Instagram app is up to date, you may be getting an error for another reason. Here are some possibilities:

There’s an Instagram glitch. Try a hard close and restart your app.
You’re on Airplane Mode or have no internet connection.
The post has had commenting turned off, or limited to selected people.
Instagram is down (it’s rare, but you can check here).
You are over-engaging (likes, comments, follows, unfollows).
You included more than 5 @ mentions in a single comment.
You included more than 30 #hashtags on a single post.
You posted multiple, duplicate comments (including emoji).
You have a brand-new account and are trying to comment on numerous big accounts.
You’ve included banned words or phrases.
That account has blocked you, or a word you used, from comments on their posts.

The first 4, of course, have nothing to do with a block. They just require you to determine which is the cause, and take steps to fix the situation as soon as you can.

Or wait it out!

Reasons 5 – 11 are a bit trickier. I’ll explain these further, below.

I’ll also share tips on how long your block will last, and how to get unblocked faster!

How Often Can I “Like” and Comment on Instagram?

Instagram puts daily Engagement Activity Limits on your account. This is to safeguard against spammers using unethical growth tactics.

There’s not a specific limit for every account. You’ll have a lower limit if your account is newer.

In fact, for a brand-new account, I suggest limiting your activity severely until you complete your Instagram profile with a bio, add a profile picture, and share a few posts.

A typical Instagram user is allowed 60 activities per hour – that includes commenting, liking, following, or unfollowing someone on the app.

If you’re only commenting, you’ll be allowed 60 comments per hour or 180 to 200 comments per day.

The daily limit, however, increases with the age of your Instagram account. More established accounts can post up to 400 or 500 comments a day – significantly more than a new account.

Here are some tips to avoid being restricted from commenting on Instagram:<

Gradually increase your number of daily comments.
Avoid posting multiple, duplicate comments (including using the same emoji) everywhere.
Don’t over-engage (likes, follows, unfollows, comments).
Don’t tag more than 5 other accounts in your comments.
Don’t try to use more than 30 hashtags in one post.

Exceed these limits, and you’re put in “Time-Out.” For a period of time, you won’t be able to do any of these activities.

TBH, I see similar on every social platform. Consistency is key!

Maybe you’re excited and you want to jump in enthusiastically. Take it easy. Slow and steady wins the race.

Before taking your social media break, you could try:

Logging out and back in on your Instagram app.
Posting your comment from a different device.
Waiting for an hour or so before trying to comment again.

Why Can’t I Post the Same Instagram Comment Again?

If you’re not aware, spammers (and some marketers) use automated “bot” commenting to draw attention to their accounts. It’s an annoying aspect that we have to put up with as the Instagram audience grows, becoming a more and more attractive target.

Instagram is hoping to stop bot commenting by blocking comments that duplicate what you just posted.

Friends and I have noticed this on our personal accounts when we write “Congrats!” or similar to more than one person. Totally innocent, but IG only sees it as a duplicate comment – and blocks it.

If you’re marketing on Instagram, please don’t use bot commenting. Even if your comments are varied or spaced out enough to not get blocked – auto commenting is just flat-out annoying.

If you’re just trying to make a number of quick comments, then add a few relevant emoticons. I think everybody actually likes those! 🙂

As Instagram continues to crack down, consider including the person’s real name in the comment, too. Not only does this add a personal touch, it will help Instagram see it as a genuine, un-automated, comment.

Instagram Comments Blocked for Tagging Users [@mentions]

The current limit, according to Instagram, is 5 @mentions per comment.

If you tagged no more than 5, and your comment was still blocked, read on for more ideas.

In the past, I’ve had comments blocked when I’ve tried to thank a few users who have congratulated me on being featured by a “hub” account (see sample comment). This is disconcerting, as Instagram tells you your comment may be “abusive.” Certainly that would be the furthest thing from my mind!

Instagram comments may be blocked for multiple tags.

After having that happen 3 times, I gave up tagging anyone who was not following my account. Now I’m tentatively tagging non-followers if they’ve tagged me first. This seems to be acceptable – for now.

Again, this blocking is due to those abusive spammers who tag numerous users in comments – usually on a post to “get free followers.” Ugh!

I have to admit, since this crackdown, those obnoxious spammers have declined greatly. Small price to pay, I suppose – as long as we nice folks don’t get confused with spammers, and possibly have our accounts closed!

I suggest you err on the side of caution. If I get another comment blocked due to tagging others, I’ll return to only tagging my followers.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to stop thanking people for congratulating me on hub accounts. It’s not worth risking a banned account.

Updated: Instagram has eased up on me for tagging multiple users in a comment thread. I’ve tried it a few times and didn’t get blocked. I was replying to people who had already commented in the thread, as in the image above right.

IG Comments Blocked on Accounts with Over 50K Followers

I’m starting to hear a lot about this one. Several ‘grammers have found this post and left comments begging me to resolve this. Here’s my answer.

Starting a new account and quickly posting on huge and/or celebrity accounts is not typical behavior. Well, I imagine it’s typical of spammers! The only solution for this one? Don’t do it.

If you’re not a spammer, then be cautious of posting on accounts with huge followings immediately after opening an account. But really, who seeks out the biggest accounts on IG in their first days?

Spammers, that’s who. OK, I know you’re just excited, but – don’t do it.

Which Words Are Banned in Instagram Comments?

Instagram doesn’t provide a list of banned words. If they did, it would have to be constantly updated.

So, just be on your best behavior and try not to offend.

Don’t curse. Be kind.

Instagram says:

We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We remove content that contains credible threats or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade or shame them, personal information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages. We do generally allow stronger conversation around people who are featured in the news or have a large public audience due to their profession or chosen activities.

It’s never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases. When hate speech is being shared to challenge it or to raise awareness, we may allow it. In those instances, we ask that you express your intent clearly.
Serious threats of harm to public and personal safety aren’t allowed. This includes specific threats of physical harm as well as threats of theft, vandalism, and other financial harm. We carefully review reports of threats and consider many things when determining whether a threat is credible. source

In addition, each account can set their own list of banned words… read on.

How Can I Block Comments on My Instagram Account?

As you probably know, you can post a photo or video with commenting disabled.

Did you know you can also block comments that contain specific words, phrases, numbers or emoji that you’d like to avoid?

Yes! Instagram has enabled Comment Controls, and these could be the reason your comment won’t post.

If your account is public, you’ll see a new way to choose who can comment on your posts — from everyone to just groups of people, like people you follow or your followers.

Also, whether your account is public or private, you’ll be able to block other accounts from commenting on your posts.

If you have the offensive comment filter turned on, you can also turn on a keyword filter to hide comments that contain specific words, phrases, numbers or emoji.

Go to your profile and tap the three lines at top right.
Tap Settings.
Tap Privacy and Security.
Tap Comment Controls.
Make sure that Hide Offensive Comments is turned on.
Tap next to Manual Filter to turn it on.

Enter specific words, phrases, numbers or emoji in the text box to filter out comments.

Keep in mind that default and custom keyword filtering aren’t currently available in all languages:

Default Keywords: The default list of keywords is only available in certain languages.
Custom Keywords: Currently, custom keyword filtering doesn’t support languages without spaces (ex: Chinese, Japanese, Thai).

When you turn on comment filtering, it’s applied to both new and existing comments on your posts. When you turn off comment filtering, filtered comments on your posts will be restored. source

And of course, any account can block you, delete your comment, or even report you.

Instagram says:

You may find content you don’t like, but doesn’t violate the Community Guidelines. If that happens, you can unfollow or block the person who posted it. If there’s something you don’t like in a comment on one of your posts, you can delete that comment.

Be wise: only post #KindComments.

How Long Am I Blocked from Commenting on Instagram?

A typical block will last 24–48 hours.

If it’s your first offense, your block may be as short as 2 hours. Proceed cautiously! Be sure to review the daily and hourly limits above.

If you’re a repeat offender, and if you’re been reported by other IGers, your block could last as long as a week or even a month.

If you’ve been blocked from commenting by the account owner, please respect that. Don’t even try to comment or message that account.

How to Get UNblocked on Instagram

So you’re blocked, you’re not sure how long it will last, and you’re in the throes of Instagram withdrawals.

There may be some things you can do to get the block lifted faster.

According to Guiding Tech, if Instagram has blocked you, it could be that Instagram has blocked your IP address and not your account.

The first solution that you should try is to switch to mobile data instead of using your WiFi.

Or switch your IP address!

I haven’t tried this, but just read about it from someone who said they do this on a monthly basis. I don’t know all the ramifications changing this setting might have, so beware. Since you’re resetting, you will have to re-enter passwords.

The simple solution if you are on iPhone. Go to your settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. This will give you new IP address.

If you’re still blocked, I strongly recommend you put the phone down and stay off Instagram for at least 24 hours.

And absolutely, stop using any automated tools that are not approved Instagram marketing partners.

It’s also recommended to link your other social media accounts inside your Instagram settings.

Basically, anything that makes your account look like it’s run by a real person!

You can also report your issue to Instagram from the Settings within the app.

On iPhone:

From your Settings, tap Help.
Tap Report a Problem.
Tap Something Isn’t Working.
State your case!

My guess is you’ll be unblocked before they read your problem report!

Here are more tips to unblock your IG account from a reader comment. Not sure if you have to do ALL these things, but essentially, you want to make your profile look genuine.

Add / change a profile picture and description.
Delete your link if it might be suspect (affiliate links, typos, possibly shortened links).
Use Instagram normally. Do NOT use automation!
Comment very little, if at all.

Make sure your Instagram bio looks like you’re a REAL person!

Another reader, QQ says:

I had the same problem. I could only post 3 comments every 24 hours. If I posted more than 3 comments I’d get banned for 24 hours from commenting (could still like pictures, follow people – just couldn’t comment.)
I did the following things:
– Change my profile (just write something new in your profile; maybe don’t leave any links until you’re unbanned from commenting too).
– Set a profile picture.
– Log in and out of your Instagram account.
– Go on your computer and log into Instagram. Like some pictures and try commenting at least once.
– On your phone, use Instagram normally: just browse, look at pictures, search hashtags, like some pictures, (show that you’re not a bot).
– Set a gender: male or female.
– Don’t comment for a few days or a week, but do all the above.
– Post two pictures (6 hours apart) every day.
I got unbanned in 4 days doing all this. I can comment all the time now, like pictures, follow etc. Good luck!!

Thank you QQ for sharing!

IG Comment Block Takeaways and To-Dos

I know it’s frustrating. As in all things, patience is a virtue here.

I don’t know how long your block will last. Just be sure you’re not making duplicate comments or multiple tags, which would likely make it worse.

Be sure you have the latest version of Instagram and your mobile OS. Old versions may prevent your comments from posting.

Never tag more than 5 users in one comment.

Try Instagram on your browser. At least one user has reported this resolved his issue.

If your app has frozen, you can try a hard shutdown of your device. This worked on my iPhone. I have no experience with Android or Windows devices, so do your due diligence before trying anything.

If you still can’t open Instagram, you can try deleting the app and reinstalling. Again, check this out first before trying. I’m not qualified to provide tech advice!

Read the comments to see if other readers have left advice you can follow.

Leave advice if you have any. If you ask a question, be aware that I have no further advice beyond what I’ve provided in this article. Maybe another reader can help.

Be real, be authentic, be you – and be careful not to get your Instagram comments blocked!

What Triggers and How to Get Rid of It

Last updated: February 3, 2023.

Every so often, Instagram users encounter this problem — Instagram action block. So if you search for tips on how to remove an Instagram action block and find the reasons why it appeared in the first place, look no further. Here’s your short guide with solutions on how to fix and avoid it.

Instagram Action Block: What Is It?

If your actions (likes, comments, follows, posting, sharing stories or any other actions you could usually take on the platform) cannot be performed any longer, it means that Instagram blocked them and restricted you from being active on the platform. With such a block, you can't like anyone, follow any users, comment on their posts, or even share your own content.

Types of Instagram Action Blocks

There are various types of the block. Here they are:

Instagram Temporary Block

The temporary block is the most common action block implemented by Instagram. It usually lasts up to 24 hours. You may get it after you break some of Instagram’s terms of service.

Instagram Action Block with an Expiration Date

Another type of action blocks on Instagram is one with an expiration date. The name speaks for itself — this type of block tell you the date up to which the block lasts. This block usually lasts from 24 hours to 30 days.

Instagram Action Block without an Expiration Date

The duration of the block may vary from several hours up to two weeks. This type of block usually doesn’t have the Tell us button unlike all other types, so if you’re sure you haven’t done anything wrong but still got flagged, you may request a manual review going to Instagram Settings ->Help ->Report a Problem.

Permanent Instagram Action Block

As the name of the block entails, you can’t remove this type of block. The reason why such blocks are applied is the violation of multiple Instagram rules. If your account has been temporarily blocked several times or if other users report your profile, you are at risk of getting a permanent Instagram action block.

What Can Trigger the Instagram Action Block?

Action blocks are typically caused by the exceeded number of actions you perform in a window of time — per hour or day. Once you exceed the allowed hourly or daily actions limits, your actions might get blocked by Instagram.

The limit set by the platform may vary depending on your account age, previous violations of Instagram rules, misuse of automation third-party tools or bots, your previous activity, and some other things we’ll discuss below.

Knowing all the reasons that trigger action blocks will help you avoid such an issue in the future and remove the Instagram block from your account.

Why Does Instagram Block Your Actions?

There are multiple reasons why you might have encounter Instagram action block.

You exceed the Instagram daily and/or hourly action limits

Instagram has limits applied to actions that are to be performed by each user an hour or a day. In June 2019, Instagram reduced the limits for about half, so now, even those users who perform all the actions manually are at risk of getting blocked if they exceed these limits.

The action limits touch on likes, comments, follow/unfollow actions, and even users’ data loading. The exact limits are not yet revealed and may be different for each account depending on its age and activity level.

Your account is too young

Your account age has a direct impact on the allowed number of actions you can perform from this account. The younger your account is, the more limits it has. If your account is 1–3 months old, you should gradually increase the number of actions you do.

Otherwise, the boost of activity will be detected by Instagram as suspicious, even if you do it all manually.

Your link in bio is restricted

If the website address you shared in your bio is something that Instagram doesn't like, it can lead to the action block.

You have already violated Instagram rules

Previous violations such as blocks or reports sent by other users can cause action blocks as well. The number of allowed daily actions diminishes once you break Instagram guidelines.

If you post prohibited content on Instagram like sexual content, hate speech, fake news, and alike or violate the copyright policy of Instagram, you will be flagged.

Moreover, if you’ve violated the guidelines from one account, it may influence your other profiles run with the same IP address. That’s why it’s so vital to use different IPs while using several Instagram profiles. To ensure the safe Instagram promotion of several accounts, use proxies or VPN.

You are slightly active on Instagram at all

Instagram tracks your activity on the platform, so if you only check it a couple of times a day to like several people, it reduces your limits on daily actions. In this case, perform your actions slowly increasing them week by week.

And be more active on Instagram! Upload photos, videos, stories and interact with other Instagrammers.

You’re too active on Instagram

If you don’t post anything on Instagram, that’s one extreme. But if you post way too much, this is the other one.

The thing is that if you upload new posts several times a day every day of the week, Instagram and your followers consider it spam-like. To keep a balance, you should post 3–7 times a week when your followers are active.

You misuse automation

There still are ways to use automation tools properly; now, it just demands consciousness from your end. To get the most out of automation tools, mix different types of actions, don’t repeat the same tasks, and don’t perform similar tasks within the same windows of time.

For instance, if you use any third-party tool for Instagram growth and utilise it only for liking, you should change your strategy asap.

Act like a human within your tool; comment manually on the native Instagram app or follow people automatically, but some time later unfollow them gradually without any tools.

Combine the automation with manual use and don’t forget to like posts from your feed because, well, that’s what people usually do on Instagram.

If you comment on other users’ posts within a tool like Combin Growth, make templates of different comments in advance.

All in all, always alter your actions and keep in mind your account age, overall activity rate, number of followers and posts, and types of actions you perform.

Don’t automate all your actions and try to like, comment, and follow within those daily or hourly limits.

Your actions are too 'heavy'

Have you ever thought why the action limits differ? This is because all the Instagram action types have different ‘weight’. If you use only commenting, for instance, your overall action restrictions elevate. Likes are the lightest actions in terms of limits.

You log in with various IP addresses and/or devices

If you log in to your Instagram account from a different IP address or device and you can’t confirm via email or an SMS code that this is you, Instagram thinks your profile has been hacked and tries to protect it.

This is why you need to set up the two-factor authentication to be able to confirm to the system that you are the rightful owner of the account.

If you try to promote your Instagram page by spamming under other people’s posts and in their DMs, Instagram will punish you for this. No one likes spammers, and Instagram is not an exception.

If the system cannot detect you on its own, don’t worry, other users will gladly give it a hint by reporting your page for spam-like activity.

If you still join different engagement groups in 2020, you should stop ASAP. Instagram easily detects such activity and blocks all the members.

How to Fix the Instagram Action Block

In order to answer this question, we’ve done some research and looked through forums to find effective tips on how to remove the Instagram action block. Here’s what we and other users recommend:

Reinstall your Instagram app.

The most obvious way is to delete your Instagram app and relaunch it. After that, the cookies and other data collected by Instagram should be removed, which is helpful in getting rid of the action block, especially the temporary one.

2. Report a problem.

Primarily, if you did nothing wrong. When the ‘action blocked’ error pops up, it usually has two options: Tell us and Ignore. To request a manual review by Instagram, tap the Tell us button.

But some types of error pop-ups have no other option but OK. In this case, do the following: press Settings > Help > Report a Problem. In the text field, write that for some reason you’ve been blocked though you haven’t done anything wrong (try it even if you’ve done).

This should be done even if you spam or use third-party tools for growing your account. This action of yours will show Instagram that you’re not a bot.

FYI: In February 2020, Instagram implemented a new appeals process for disabled accounts. It means that now if your account is disabled and about to be deleted, you can appeal direct from the log-on screen.

Social Media Today

So when you log in and see a message about your account to be deleted, you can either Download Data to get access to your content or Request Review. If you choose the second option, you will need to fill in your full name, Instagram username, and tell Instagram why you think they’ve made a mistake. Instagram will review your appeal which takes up to 24 hours.

3. Switch to mobile data.

The reason for your actions blocked might be your IP address. Sometimes, Instagram even blocks accounts at the stage of creating ones if it doesn’t like the IP. So after you see any errors, switch from the Wi-Fi to the mobile data.

4. Link your Instagram account to Facebook.

Now Instagram allows creating Business and Creator accounts without connecting them to Facebook. If your account is not linked to Facebook and it has been threatened with the action block, link it to your Facebook page.

Thus you’ll prove that you’re not a bot. To make it even better, you can link your Instagram page to other socials.

5. Log in with another device.

Change the device you log in to Instagram. Try using another phone, tablet, or even PC.

6. Wait it out for 24–48 hours.

All of the aforementioned ways may or may not help. If none of the above enables you to get rid of the Instagram action block, wait it out, and your block will disappear shortly. Even better if you stop any of the Instagram actions for 24 or 48 hours. Don’t use Instagram or any third-party tool within this period of time.

Besides, don't create a new Instagram account right away because if the reason for the action block is your banned IP address, it will ban your new account as well.

Instagram comments without the risk of account blocking

Leaving comments on posts of potential followers is a great way to increase interest in your account, and therefore increase the level of interaction, the frequency of profile visits and the number of subscribers. However, the wrong approach to commenting can bring a lot of trouble, from a temporary restriction on leaving comments to a complete blocking of the account. Keep the following guidelines in mind to avoid misunderstandings and improve the quality of engagement with your Instagram content.

Don't post comments that are all emoji

A couple of such comments will not bring irreversible consequences, but in the case of mass commenting using only emoji, the action can easily be regarded as spam - both by the Instagram algorithm and by the recipients of the comments.

Do not leave short comments of the same type

One word comments like “Amazing!”, “Cool!”, “Great photo” can be left by anyone and to any content. It won't make the recipient feel special or set you apart from the many other accounts that often leave similar comments. In addition, mass commenting on compliments of the same type, with a high probability, may not only not bear fruit in the form of a mutual response or subscription, but also lead to both a temporary restriction of activity and account blocking.

Do not ask to visit your website, profile, take part in the contest

If recipient accounts fail to complain about such comments, Instagram's anti-spam algorithm will get rid of them. Invitations to visit your profile, exchange likes or mutually subscribe to each other, calls to participate in your contest or buy something at a discount, even in a single amount, can lead to very unpleasant consequences, not to mention massive commenting. Never leave such comments.

Monitor the ratio of the number of likes and comments left per day

When we interact with posts manually, directly from the Instagram app, we usually don't have to worry about less likes than comments - we almost unconsciously strike a balance. However, the situation changes when we automate actions. On average, Instagram users leave at least 30-40% more likes than comments. Be guided by this information when assigning tasks for mass leaving likes and comments in Combin.

Beware of abrupt changes in activity

This item is especially relevant for those who are just starting to use Combin or implement mass commenting into their account development strategy, but experienced users should also keep this in mind when assigning a group of mass tasks. Consistency is very important in automating activity, since any sudden change is a reason to assume that the account has either fallen into the hands of scammers, or there is a deliberate automation of actions through third-party services (which is prohibited on Instagram). Take your time, increase and decrease the number of activities performed per day gradually.

Leave meaningful, unique comments

Instead of leaving monosyllabic, inconspicuous comments, try to go more or less hackneyed. Write what exactly hooked you to the publication, instead of expressing general approval. Think about what specifically prompted the author to post the image or write text under it, what he likes about it, what he would like to hear. Imagine what words could not leave the author indifferent, what comments could serve as the beginning of a discussion, and as a result, attract sincere interest to your account. Yes, it's harder than just writing "Great!" and calmly move on to other things, but it is this approach that brings high-quality interaction, a new loyal audience, and removes suspicions about the spam activity of your account.

The world of social networks has its own rules. And this world clearly does not like it when they are violated. Especially Facebook. So he created a bot that controls the order in Instagram. The funny thing is that the algorithm of its work is unknown. So, the block can be caught even by accident.

If the robot doesn't like your content, then the account is automatically checked. Then it goes to Facebook representatives for consideration. And they already choose the type of blocking.

Consider also how conditions have changed since the pandemic. In 2021, user requests are processed more slowly by the administration. Plus, there is a risk that the decision will not be in your direction. For example, if the administration used to check applications within 3-4 hours (the maximum review time is a day), now we are seeing a different story. An application for account recovery can be processed from a week to two months.

The term for blocking an account by the administration can vary from three hours to two weeks. At the same time, there is a risk that you will lose your account forever. The duration of the ban and the likelihood of recovery depends on how serious the violations were.

There are three types of blocking:

Random: who doesn't make mistakes? Such moments happen often. But in this case, the account is quickly returned with a cover letter and an apology.
Temporary/Shadow Ban: User account is being blocked by Instagram due to questionable activity.
Permanently blocked: the user account is blocked and cannot be restored.

If your account has received a permanent ban, then you may no longer be able to access your account. A permanent ban only occurs if the user commits an extreme violation of the terms. Such violations, for example, include the distribution of prohibited content. The entire list of rules can be found here.

We found out the reasons, we are moving on to solving the problem. It is clear that unlocking an account is possible only in the event of an accidental or temporary ban.

Previously, you could restore your account through a computer or mobile device. It was enough just to write to technical support, fill out a standard account recovery form and wait for the administration's decision. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way now.

Here are two ways to recover your account:

Solve the problem through the official mobile application.
Contact Facebook support chat.

And now more details.

The procedure looks simple. A detailed description can be found on the support site.

Open Instagram on your mobile device.
The login screen has a "Help Login" section located below the "Login" button. We select it.
Alternatively, there is a "Need more help?" option located in the upper right corner. Select it and follow the next instructions.
To unblock an account, you must provide information about the company or your own (if the account is personal). Then enter the current e-mail to which the account is linked.
If the email address is correct and you have done everything correctly, you should receive an email with further instructions. If not, we recommend checking your spam folder. The letter could be there.

You can find a short form for filling in information about yourself or the company here.

In this option, at 99.9% you will need to upload two or three photos from your account page without processing. If there are no such photos, forget it. Your account will not be returned. Uploading a photo to pass off as your own will not work, because the verification is carried out using EXIF technology.

Here the percentage is lower, but you may also be asked to send a photo with a sheet that will contain personal information and a verification code. Where to get this code? It will be sent to your mail.

This method will only work in the case of temporary blocking. Please note that three temporary bans will be followed by a permanent ban. Instagram sees that the "warnings" pass by and deletes the profile without the possibility of recovery.

Important! It is possible that you log into the application, but see only a message about blocking your account. Nothing else happens. In this case, we are looking for a technical support window and trying to contact the operator directly.

Here it is based on Facebook-enabled chat. Link to start. It's simple:

Click "Get Support".

Next, Facebook will offer to "Select the object for which you need help."

After that, you need to specify the problem. You need to choose from the proposed list. But do not bother, choose the one that you like. Next, you will be asked to describe the real problem, attaching a photo or screen to it - “Give us information that will help us investigate the problem.”
Next, click on the “Start Chat” option.

Support Facebook will email you within three minutes. He will guide you and answer your questions. It will help you access your account and tell you what to do next.

Specify the current e-mail to which you have constant access, and do not forget to write down the passwords in your notes.
Don't forget to link your contact and current phone number to your account. It will receive SMS with a code to confirm your rights to the page.
Enable two-factor authentication.
