How to get off action blocked on instagram
How To Fix Instagram Action Block Error 2022 "We're sorry but something went wrong. Try Again Later"
In this article, you’re going to learn how to fix your Instagram account after you’ve been action blocked, what you need to know to avoid getting flagged in the future, and what could have caused your account to be blocked in the first place.
Why does Instagram keep saying “Try Again Later, we restrict certain activities to protect our community”?
Unfortunately, if you’re experiencing any variation of this message… it means your account is temporarily action blocked on Instagram.
What does this mean?
Instagram’s AI has concluded that it’s possible you could be a bot and want to test you… so they freeze your account from being able to like, follow, comment, save, post, et cetera… just to see if you freeze up or keep trying to carry out functions over and over (like a bot would do).
Here’s what you need to know:
It’s 2022… and Instagram has over 1.074 billion users worldwide.
In order to protect it’s platform from spammers, bots, and other malicious 3rd parties, Instagram and Facebook rely on artificial intelligence to monitor and enforce it’s rules.
Unfortunately…
Instagram’s AI is still learning and does make mistakes.
We’re going to go through the top 13 most important things you need to know about fixing your IG account below and what you need to know going forward so this doesn’t happen to you again.
How to fix “We’re sorry, but something went wrong. Please try again” action block error on Instagram in 2022:1. Clear the cache on your Instagram app
Sometimes all it takes to beat an action block is to simply clear your Instagram’s app’s cache, close the app, and reopen it.
Here’s how to clear your Instagram cache on your iPhone:
Open the “Settings” app on your phone
Tap “General"
Tap “iPhone Storage”
Scroll down and select Instagram"
Select “Delete App”
This will clear your Instagram app’s cache completely.
Important note:
You won’t actually have to log back into your accounts… this is just clearing the cache and clearing up space on your phone.
2. Delete the App and reinstall the latest version
Instagram and Facebook are constantly split testing different aspects of their apps on your phone.
For example, whenever you download Instagram on your phone, you’re actually downloading several versions of the app all at once and Facebook is then making changes and optimizing the app directly on your phone using these different versions.
Why this matters:
Because of that, if you’re ever having issues with your Instagram or Facebook apps, some of the time… you can just delete and re-install the apps from the App Store and your issues will be fixed when you log in.
3. Take a break for a while
Before you go to the time and effort of trying all of the different tactics below, consider simply staying off of the Instagram app for 24 to 72 hours or so.
Meaning…
Don’t try to DM, comment, like, save, or anything for a few days… don’t even open the app.
More often than not, a few days or so off of the app will fix all of your issues.
Important note:
Before you decide to take a break… be sure to do #4 and #5 and let support know that there is an issue.
4. Contact the help Instagram center
Be sure to fill out a form on Instagram’s official help page:
https://help.instagram.com/contact/505535973176353
Explain that you are experiencing issues with your account and let them know you’re unable to like, comment, make reels, et cetera (whatever your issue is).
Important note:
You need to explain that you rely on Instagram / Facebook for your business and this account issue is directly affecting your revenue and your ability to generate an income.
You need to also try to take this one step further and contact the official Facebook pages for IG and FB (see below).
5. Contact the Instagram and Facebook Business pages
Here’s how to get in contact with Facebook or Instagram support:
This is something a lot of people dont realize… but you can actually get a hold of a real person at Facebook or Instagram by messaging the official Business pages on Facebook.
If you’re lucky, you’ll even get directed to a human phone support agent who you can talk to and explain your issues.
Important note:
The support team who run the business pages are generally only online during work hours monday-friday.
Feel free to use this tactic of messaging the IG/FB business pages for other issues as well - they’re generally very responsive and will work with you to solve your issues.
Quick note:
I run an Instagram Planner app called PostBuilder (free for iPhone).
You can schedule posts and stories, use custom fonts for your IG bio / captions
Store unlimited drafts
Preview your posts before you post them on Instagram
and more.
6. Reconnect your Instagram and Facebook together
Reconnecting your Facebook and Instagram is a common solution to a number of different account issues you could be experiencing.
If you’re having issues reconnecting your two accounts together, be sure to try on desktop - this usually fixes any issues.
7. Factory reset your phone / update your phone to the latest iOS
There are cases where people have completely fixed their action blocks on Instagram by simply resetting their phone.
Important note:
You do not have to do a hard reset to your phone for this to work.
There are numerous cases where just a soft reset fixed the issues.
8. Log in to your Instagram on desktop or on another friend’s phone to see if it’s a device ban
9. Remove the link in your Instagram bio
One tactic that a lot of people have found is that when they remove the link in their bio, log out, then log back in… this instantly fixes their account.
One common question we frequently are asked:
Is Linktree safe to use for Instagram?
The answer?
Yes. Absolutely.
Linktree is 100% trusted by Facebook and Instagram.
In fact, the official Facebook Instagram account uses linktree in their bio.
10. Change your Instagram account from a personal to a business page (and vice-versa)
Changing from a personal page to a business or a creator page has also fixed the action block for people.
However:
Once you switch your Instagram account to a personal page… you lose your analytics from your account and you start fresh again when you switch back.
If you’re trying this tactic… be sure you have tried everything else discussed in this article first.
11. Show Instagram you’re not a robot
Verify your phone / email address
Link your Facebook with your Instagram
Enable two-factor authentication
Change your password
12. Stop using bots or automation and remove 3rd party apps
It’s 2022 and we’ve already gone over that artificial intelligence now runs and maintains Instagram’s algorithms.
If you’re using bots or automation… you might not get caught in the short term… but you’re eventually going to get caught and get your account either permanently shadow banned or suspended indefinitely.
Instagram’s artificial intelligence is smarter than all of us and it gets smarter and smarter (as it learns) every single day.
If you were using bots… stop. Go into your app settings and unauthorized all of the sketchy 3rd party apps that may have access to your account as soon as possible.
Why this is important:
Instagram has done mass bans from accounts who simply had certain 3rd party apps authorized to their accounts.
Some people were banned just because they allowed an app to have access to their account one single time (regardless if they used the services or not).
Instagram has demonstrated time and time again that they do not tolerate automation and bots… just don’t do it.
13. Stop using any of Instagram’s banned hashtags
Instagram has a large list of banned hashtags that they do not want their users to be promoting.
Instead of Instagram outright banning these hashtags, they quietly hide your account from being found in search if you are caught using any of them.
What you need to do:
Go through your past posts on Instagram and make sure you aren’t accidentally using any from the updated banned hashtags list.
If you find posts with banned hashtags:
Simply remove the offending hashtags - you can still keep the post active.
14. You’re doing too many actions at once
Meaning:
You’re following/unfollowing, liking, commenting, posting, DMing too fast all at once.
Remember:
Instagram’s rule enforcers are artificial intelligence.
Don’t give the AI a reason to suspect that you could be a bot.
Until Instagram’s AI gets better… we’re confined by what they allow us to do.
So if we all have to move slower and get randomly action blocked for no reason sometime… all we can do is wait for the technology to catch up.

How To Remove Action Block On Instagram [Fast And Easy] | by Adam Dimitrijevic
Sorry for the silly image, but it works well on YT and I don’t have time right now to make a new one.As I’ve promised, today I’m going to be sharing 8 different ways that have worked for us in removing the action block on Instagram. I also want to mention that these methods yielded 87% success rate in solving the action block problem, which pretty much means that 9 out of 10 people with the action block problem will be able to fix it, if they try all of these methods. I also want to mention that each of these methods is pretty easy and fast to do, so there’s really no reason not to try all of them.
I also want to note that we’ve done extensive testing to see what affects the action limits and how to increase it, and I definitely recommend you to check that as well, since it’s going to help you avoid action blocks in the future.
These methods work for each action block (follow blocks, like blocks, comment blocks and DM blocks).
As always, I’ve also published a video covering this, and if you like to learn by watching instead of reading, I got you covered.
Remove Instagram Action Block Full Video (8 Different Methods)If you, however, like to learn by reading, then go ahead and continue.
In my previous article, I’ve mentioned that there are 3 different types of action blocks. Depending on the type of action block you’ve received you will know if you are going to be able to fix it using some of the methods I’m going to mention later or you have to just wait it out.
Before I go over different types of action blocks I want to mention that Instagram’s AI started to go pretty crazy with these blocks recently, probably because they are still tweaking settings, and pretty often they are falsely flagging users and blocking their actions without a real reason. If you are just a regular user, and you absolutely did nothing wrong, make sure to report a problem to Instagram, and your action block is going to be fixed most of the times. If you’ve tried that already or you think you did something wrong than continue reading.
1. Temporary action block: This one is usually the most common and expires pretty fast from several hours to 24h. Methods I’m going to mention later work pretty well with this type of action block.
2. Action block with an expiration date: This one has the time stamp saying when exactly it’s going to expire. Methods I’m going to mention later usually have pretty low success rate with this type of action blocks and your best bet is to wait it out. Sometimes however it can be fixed, but in general, it’s pretty rare.
3. Action block without an expiration date: This one is usually the worst, since it doesn’t have an expiration date and can last from several hours to two weeks. Some of the fixing methods usually work with this one, which is great since if you just wait it out you can lose up to two weeks.
Now since I’ve covered that and you know your chances of getting the action block lifted, let’s go over different methods you should try to fix the action block.
I’ve already mentioned this, but I want to mention it again since when we were testing we had the most success with it. Send a request to Instagram to manually review your account once the action block message pops up. You should absolutely do this, even if you are doing follow-unfollow or spamming with comments or likes. As I’ve mentioned Instagram is fighting with bots and when you request a manual review or report a problem, it will definitely let Instagram know that you are not a bot. If you don’t get unblocked within the first 12 hours, send it again. You can send as many requests as you want. Sometimes, they will miss the first message or two, so it’s much better to send multiple times.
With this method, we got unblock success rate of almost 50% and we DID spam with actions heavily, so it definitely works. Sometimes, you won’t get the option to request a manual review on the action block message, but you can go to Settings>Help>Report A Problem and just explain that you can’t like or follow and you don’t know why because you did nothing wrong. Pretty simple and fast to do, yet this is one of the most effective methods, especially for people who actually did nothing wrong.
I’ve already mentioned multiple times, that you should use Instagram manually and stop with automation if you haven’t already delete all 3rd party apps and tools and change your IG password. Even scheduling apps and tools can cause the action block, that’s why advise you should avoid 3rd party scheduling apps, and that you should use Instagram’s own scheduling feature instead. The best thing you can do to make sure you’ve removed all access is to enable Two-Factor Authentication. A lot of people don’t know this, but when you enable two-factor authentication, you will basically let Instagram know that you are not using 3rd party tools, and you will increase your accounts health and trust score with this. This can lift your action block immediately, but if not, it will definitely help avoid another in the future.
Rewrite your BIO and remove link from your BIO, if you have one. This worked for one of my friends recently, it’s easy and there’s no reason not to try it. In the previous article, I’ve mentioned that a link in BIO increases your chances to get the action block and decreases your action limit. While you are doing f/ uf or some other methods that require high usage of actions, definitely avoid having a link in BIO.
Delete the Instagram app and install it again. This should delete the cookies, cache and other things that Instagram is capturing. We had some success lifting temporary action blocks with this one and I’ve also seen people of forums mentioning that it worked for them on other types of action blocks as well. Pretty easy to do and again there’s no reason not to try it.
Switch to mobile data/ 4G network. As I’ve already mentioned in my other article, we’ve noticed that it’s easier to get action blocked while using your home IP than 4G mobile internet. If that’s the reason you got the action block this should fix it immediately.
A lot of people asked me if there’s a cheap method to use 4G only and how I’m doing this. I don’t know where are you from, but in my country (Serbia) there are SIM solutions with a flat rate data for Instagram usage (around 5$ per month) and I’m using that. You should check if mobile providers in your country have something similar. I’m also currently testing different 4G proxies, and if I find some cheap reliable solution, I will let you know.
You can go one step further and switch the device you are using — try to log in on some other phone or tablet, sometimes even logging on PC helps. We had a high success rate of fixing action blocks without an expiration date and temporary blocks with this and the previous one.
Link your Instagram account to a Facebook page or a profile. If that doesn’t help switch from personal to business or creator and vice-versa. As I’ve mentioned we have noticed that Instagram accounts which have been linked to a Facebook page seem to have higher action limit. Business accounts have an even higher limit and finally, creator accounts seem to have the highest limit so if this doesn’t help remove action block immediately, it can definitely help to prevent another action block once you get unblocked.
Note: Be careful when switching to a business account, recently some of my friends reported having an engagement drop on some of their accounts, once they’ve switched to business. This has never happened to me, so I can’t speak from my own experience, but these are the people that I trust, and that’s why I advise caution. I plan to do some tests on this (switching to business account) and creator account as well, so stay tuned for that.
If you have some money, spend some money on ads — promote one of your posts. This has lifted action blocks for us in several cases, and I’ve also mentioned in the previous video that accounts who spend some money on ads (even as little as 5$) have higher action limits which should also help you avoid another action block in the future.
If none of these methods worked for you then unfortunately you will have to wait it out. As I’ve mentioned sometimes action block message comes with the expiration date and sometimes it doesn’t. Action blocks usually last from 12 to 48 hours, but sometimes they can last for up to two weeks. If that’s the case and you don’t want to wait that long, you can start growing another account while you’re waiting to get unblocked. Don’t forget to check how to avoid action blocks if you haven’t already, and if you have another device I would advise you to start the new account on that device using mobile data.
Right now, unfortunately, there’s nothing else you can do, but since I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about action blocks on their personal accounts where they actually have done nothing wrong, I’m sure Instagram will take it a bit easier in the future, because they are really starting to get their users angry, which is just bad for business.
In my opinion, these action blocks and limits are not a bad thing, let me explain why. A lot of people using bots have already switched from Instagram to other social media platforms, and a lot more will probably also switch in the future, which means much less competition for people who are doing things manually, using right methods. A lot of other people that are not using bots, but had problems with action blocks, got really annoyed by this and stopped growing Instagram pages as well since they don’t know why they are getting blocked, and don’t want to spend time searching or testing.
In one of my niches, where I have a page that’s #2 in terms of followers and growth, competition almost halved. A ton of pages stopped or reduced posting since June 2019 (when the action block started). The page that’s been #1 in this niche, stopped using fan page strategy (I’m going to cover this in the future) and their growth reduced by almost 70%. My page is now growing much faster than their page, and it seems that I’m going to pass them in terms of followers in October 2019. Once that happens my revenue will probably double. I’m seeing a similar trend in all niches that I’m working in on Instagram.
Since these action blocks are really preventing users to spam with following, I think follow-unfollow method, if done right, will actually start bringing even better results than before. If you haven’t already make sure to check my video where I’m explaining how to do follow unfollow method in depth, so far I haven’t received any action block on my new page which I’m growing from 0 to 10k using follow-unfollow method, so it still works and as I’ve mentioned it will probably going to work better than ever before.
If I stumble upon some other method that can potentially fix the action block, I’m going to list it here, since I can’t edit my YouTube video after uploading.
If you liked these tips and they’ve helped you, make sure to share it with your friends (It will help me a lot, and it will also help your friends).
If you’ve found out about some other way to lift the action block, please leave a comment explaining what method did you used and I’m going to list that method here and give you a shoutout.
As I’ve mentioned in my video, I’ve been working on a video/ article about the best hashtag practices, but since a lot of people are complaining about problems with action blocks, I’ve decided to address this issue first. The next thing you can expect is the video and article about hashtags, so stay tuned for that.
Blocked on Instagram, why the action is blocked and how to unblock
Update: 2022-08-28.
Video about blocking on instagram, as well as why all your actions are blocked on instagram - likes, subscriptions, comments, publications, direct messages and how to unblock it now?
Now there is a glitch on Instagram that, after a temporary block, does not reset the sanctions and constantly displays a message that the action is temporarily blocked, although the block itself has actually been removed a long time ago. You check every day, but Instagram doesn't let you like or subscribe.
I’ll tell you how to fix it now, but in order not to fall under these temporary blocks, you need to understand the very essence of the problem - there are two types of blocks: for exceeding daily limits and for swift actions, swift actions from the point of view of the Instagram algorithm.
Types of blocking
The first type of blocking cannot be bypassed in any way, because there are limits for this and limits so as not to violate them, but the second type of blocking can be avoided by performing simple manipulations. As soon as you start frantically liking a feed of fresh photos on a hashtag without a delay between likes, you immediately fall under the supervision of a vigilant algorithm that detects the number of likes and the time for which you put them.
When the blocking is triggered
When the trigger fires at the limit value, you receive a blocking message! A logical question arises, what needs to be done to avoid this? The answer is simple - you need to slow down your rate of likes and dilute the order of your actions! They threw 5 - 7 likes, wrote 1 comment, another 5 - 7 likes, wrote another comment and so on until you are blocked for exceeding the limits! )))
Just kidding! Limits should not be violated under any circumstances. Well, if you still caught a temporary block on likes and subscriptions, then do the following.
Recovery steps
As soon as you see this happy message, we immediately exit the application, note the time and clear the cache of the phone’s memory, if your account is authorized and in the web version on your computer, then we also exit from there. Exit - this means log out, click log out of the account, provided of course that you remember your password, otherwise you will not be able to log back into your account later. And now we sit and pray and wait exactly a day, after a day we log in again and check.
If the phone also displays a message about temporary blocking of actions, then we now log in to the web version of the Instagram browser on your computer and check it in the same way. If even there it gives a message about a temporary block, then again we go out for a day and in a day we repeat everything again. This should be done until you break through the Instagram cache.
I repeat, if you just sit and wait, stupidly checking on the phone every day that the block is unlocked, then you can sit like this for a whole month, although the block may have been removed on the third or fifth day, but because of the key with the cache you the system will always issue that the action is temporarily blocked.
How to promote a page
Instagram tightens the screws every day more and more, I'm afraid that the day will come when you can only promote on Instagram for a fee!
In the meantime, all you have to do is optimize your actions so as not to waste your likes and subscriptions in vain, use some kind of social engineering and choose the optimal algorithm for promoting your Instagram, but I will talk about this in the next video about Instagram promotion from scratch.
Telegram channel
Do not forget that I have a telegram channel where I constantly publish the latest news, which you can find out about before others, unless of course subscribe to my telegram channel, and I also conduct various voting on the topic there, which video to make next, which video you are more interested in.

Blocked "Instagram": what to do?
On March 4, 2022, Roskomnadzor decided to restrict access to Facebook, and on March 11, 2022, access to Instagram.

Forewarned is forearmed: how to protect your Instagram from deletion
One way to ruin your Instagram is to get banned and completely delete your account. Without the ability to return photos and subscribers. We tell you how to restore Instagram if you were banned and what you need to do to avoid this unpleasant situation:
It's better not to do this: 15 reasons to block your Instagram
You can get banned for breaking the rules. For example:
- After complaining about spammy and identical comments, for tagging a lot of people on posts.
- For spam in direct messages.
- For copyright infringement: using someone else's photos and texts. Users themselves can also complain about non-unique content.
- For copying accounts. If you create a spare, they can block both accounts.
- For publishing pornography and erotica. By the way, if you post your little ones in a negligee, then you can also easily get a ban for naked children's photos.
- For promoting anorexia and suicide. For mutilation: eating disorder, showing cuts.
- For manifestation of hatred and aggression, intolerance: racism, homophobia and sexism.
- For the sale and promotion of weapons and drugs.
- For the use of logos and symbols of well-known brands (therefore, trading in product replicas will not work successfully for a long time).
- For using the Instagram logo on your images.
- For work with prohibited third-party services and applications.
- After violating the limits on subscription, unsubscribe and comment actions. The current limits are available in the official documentation for developers.
- For using several ip-addresses at the same time. This happens if several people sit from your account from different cities at once. Or when using third party services.
- For information about credit cards, social security or other identification number, phone number or email address if it belongs to another person.
- For cheating subscribers/bots or likes.
Do not joke with limits and suspicious activity - all Instagram promotion services warn us about this
Attention! Your account can be blocked without warning and explanation if it raises suspicions of violating the rules.
Follow the links for the full text of the rules and conditions for using the application.
For more information about the reasons for bans and ways to quickly save accounts, see the video below:

Drawing of 3 places until 24.08. The rest of the participants of the drawing - 50% discount
MoreTemporary blocking of an account
Most often, Instagram “punishes” an account with a temporary blocking: it restricts one or more actions, for example, prohibits likes and subscriptions for a period of several hours to several days, on average for a day.
Examples of Instagram action block popups
When this is discovered, try to control yourself and do not act immediately after unblocking, be patient.
After Instagram suspects your account, it will "reset your password" and notify you in an email sent to the email address you linked to your profile. You can change your password using the link.
After 3 temporary bans, you are likely to be banned - in this case, Instagram sees that you do not heed the warnings and bans you permanently.
"Eternal" ban on Instagram - what to do?
Repeatedly violating Instagram rules can result in your account being permanently deleted. What to do if you see a warning about blocking your account when you log in?
An example of blocking when trying to log in
Naturally, the best way out of this situation is to claim that your account has been hacked (even if you messed it up yourself).
Previously, it was possible to sort it out through this form:
The items “I can’t log in” and “the account was hacked” are no longer active
But now the rules have changed and you can only unlock your account through the official mobile application.
The recovery procedure seems pretty simple and is described on the support site:
- Open the Instagram app on your mobile device.
- On the login screen, tap Help Login below the Login button.
- Or tap in the upper right corner: "Need more help?" and follow the instructions on the screen.
- To unlock, you will need to enter information about the company or yourself (if the account is personal) into the form and indicate the associated email address.
- If you have done everything correctly and your e-mail is correct, you will receive an email with instructions. Check your Spam folder, if nothing arrives, the letter may have ended up there.
You may be asked to upload one or more unedited personal photos of yourself that were previously posted to this account.
If you don't have these photos, don't even try. Photo verification works using EXIF technology, so it’s stupid to download and pass off someone else’s photo as your own.
Important! If nothing happens when you log in except for a blocking message, then use the built-in technical support window and look for any way to contact.
Forewarned is forearmed: how to protect your Instagram from deletion
- Specify a valid e-mail to which you have access. Check right now if you made any typos in the settings.
- Link your contact mobile phone number. It will be necessary to confirm your rights to the account: Instagram sends an SMS with a code.
- If there are no personal photos of you on Instagram, then taking a picture of the face of the owner of the account with the code from technical support will not work in case of blocking. If you don’t want or can’t post them, be sure to link your Facebook account (by the way, it won’t help if it doesn’t contain your photos).
- If this is your company's profile, then constituent documents, a registered trademark, domain name ownership (if all this is in the profile description) will come in handy.
- Keep track of the applications you have connected.
- Work with trusted contractors.
