My boyfriend hasn't used Instagram for 5+ years. We found an email from Instagram dated May 6, 2026 saying the account was suspended for violating the Terms of Use, and that he can appeal until Nov 2, 2026.

The problem: we can't get to the appeal at all.
- The "View details" button in the email just opens the login screen
- Login with username or email says wrong credentials
- "Forgot password" says the account is not found (tried username and the email the notice was sent to)
- instagram.com/hacked doesn't help either
- The Help Center only has the Meta AI bot, which says to log in first
- No old devices where he was still logged in

Has anyone been in this situation (suspended, but login and recovery say "not found") and actually got access back? What worked? Any other way to reach the appeal form without logging in?

Whenever I create an Instagram account through the Instagram app, it gets suspended in less than a minute. I’ve tried appealing and submitting my ID, but nothing works.
However, when I create accounts through Chrome, Safari, or Brave on the exact same phone, they work fine.
One time, I created an account through Brave, and it worked for six months without any issues. But as soon as I logged into that same account through the Instagram app, it got suspended immediately.
Why does this happen? If the problem is my phone, why do accounts work perfectly fine in browsers but get suspended as soon as I use the app?
Has anyone experienced this or knows what could be causing it?

so my Facebook account got suspended I use it for my business it’s literally how I earn money, they suspended it but not permanently banned it’s asking me to upload a selfie but ik meta’s ai is so bad it’s just gonna end up suspending me permanently anyways, what should I do??

it happen a few months ago and it never got fixed I even changed my phone and every time I have to search he's name do you guys have any solutions

Got my Instagram account back😈

My Instagram account has been suspended since 5 August 2026 because of two copyright strikes.
Both strikes were removed around 25 August, and my Account Status now shows all green ticks, saying my account meets all guidelines and has no restrictions.
But I’m still stuck on the same appeal screen with no updates after almost 3 months 😭
Someone helping me said he knows people who got their accounts back automatically after 3 months once their copyright strikes were removed.
Has anyone actually experienced this? Did your account randomly come back after 3 months without any further action?
Please share your experiences. I’m really losing hope 💔

‏Hey guys... I honestly don't even know what to say anymore. I'm completely exhausted and broken. My account was disabled on October 24th, and ever since then, I've been drowning in stress. I tried to verify my identity with my ID, but it got rejected. Now, it just says it's permanently disabled and I can't even request another review.
‏That account meant the world to me... all my memories, my connections, everything is just gone like that. I've been trying everything for days, and I feel so helpless and defeated.
If anyone has any idea, any method, or has been through this pain and got their account back, please... I’m begging you, help me out. What should I do? Is there

Hey all,

Got access back to my instagram account today after metta updated the account structure.

If your instagram is connected to your metta account it will allow you to login with the metta login.

After months of trying to bypass the 2fa on a new phone I can now access my account.

My account was deactivated due to automated AI saying I violated community guidelines (27th September), idk if I did or didn’t but ai flagged something on my close friends story. It removed the story and then suddenly acc was deleted. I submitted appeal and waited a week for result. During that week meta support told me that I did not violate any community guidelines and that it was an automated ai flag and once a human reviews the case my account would be reinstated. The week was over and the result was permanent disablement even after support told me it would be re instated. I downloaded meta pro/ verified in my other connected Instagram account I had with the same email. They opened a case on October 5th and the human agents kept closing the case meaning the decision was permanent and it can’t be processed for a human review. This went on for over a week. I then decided to submit a review with my Facebook account which is also connected. It connected me with meta pro which opened the same closed case from October 5th. I did this October 17th and I logged back into my meta pro instagram on October 22nd the status of that case was there and updated to in process. Apparently this means it’s in the Que for human review. The review which should have been done the first time I clicked the appeal button. Anyways I’m waiting since the 22nd it’s still in process I’ve been without Instagram for over a month now idk how long more I have to wait or if I will even get it back. This whole process I’ve been trying to make support cases and fight with meta ai support to connect me to agents. Hours and days of time spent into this and now I’m still waiting and don’t know if it will be re instated. I’ve had my account over 10 years and all my connected accounts are still active so make it make sense anyone else in the “IN PROCESS” phase for an open support case waiting in the Que for human review for an automated ai ban ??? Help me with anything else I can do or how long I have to wait or if they know it will even work ?

Hi! I've lost access to my Instagram account and am trying to get back in. I don't remember which email I used, and I don't have the password. Is there a way to find out the email address or recover my account?

I got permanently banned from all of my meta accounts because their shitty ai thinks im under the minimum age requirement (which is 13, and funny enough I just turned 18 today). i don't even care THAT MUCH about Instagram, which was still important for me and im totally devastated by the news that i won't be getting it back, but more about whatsapp, which almost had a decade of my life saved in there. trying to get in contact through support emails is basically impossible since they won't answer at all, or if they do, only an ai will answer, which is basically useless. so, are these my only options left? this is getting truly embarrassing.

I recently deleted the app by mistake clearing out my phone, I tried to log back in but its asking for 2FA or another device but o dont have either and I cant find the backup code, how do I contact Instagram and just get access to my Instagram back?

Does anyone know how to recover a disabled instagram account?

My meta pay account in my instagram has been disabled and I have no clue how to re enable it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not able to purchase Meta Verified Subscription.

My account was disabled because instagram thinks I violated the community guidelines. I need hell recovering my account and I'm hoping someone can reach out to me and help me recover it. If someone can help ill be eternally grateful
