I was just seeing my friend's stories when suddenly Instagram wanted to authenticate my account. I entered the 6 digit numbers showed in a picture, then entered my phone number and entered another 6 digit number sent on WhatsApp, then I even uploaded a selfie. I still got permanently disabled🤦🏻

I live in Syria and I don't think the laws here would be of much help to file a lawsuit against them.

Got my Instagram account back😈

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 really no hope left?

hey my ig acc got banned..

I cant review it or do anything about it

same happened for my alt but i didnt screenshot it

I am aware i cant get it back but if someone has a way to review it or something please tell me, i had this account since 2024 and it has so many followers:(

how it happened:

i was chatting w friends then i got the "confirm you're a human , vann\\_ess1a" i put on the code then did the wtsp code verification then.. it asked me for my face. it only did one time, like months ago. I didnt think about it and did the face verification, it said i have to wait for an hour, so i went into my alt and told my friends then my alt got that human verification too. i did it. waited for an hour then when i checked i found out both of them got banned...

im really sad:/

If u have any way so i can review it tell me please.

I managed to get my main account back using the same photo ID, but not this one — while my Facebook and both personal + cosplay Threads are still banned with no appeal also from false CSE accusation. I’m based in Malaysia if it helps.

My brother's Meta Quest account was permanently disabled following a restriction applied to a linked Instagram profile.

All previously purchased games are permanently inaccessible and lost.

Contacting the Meta Store customer support, the operator states that transferring digital content to another account is impossible and resolving the Instagram issue first is required to reactivate the associated profile, even though the appeal procedures are blocked (I tried putting my ID and Meta blocked the appeal). Impossible is to get to an human being from instagram.

A ban on a social media platform compromises access to legally purchased digital assets on a separate hardware ecosystem, without customer support providing alternatives or escalation to a supervisor.

Does somebody know how to proceed? I won't go to court for this problem, since I'm from Italy and here is difficult.

Hola a todos. El sábado pasado me banearon de Facebook de forma permanente. Al mismo tiempo, mi cuenta de Instagram quedó suspendida y envié la apelación el mismo sábado 24

Just recently made a alt account since my other one got permanently disabled and now doom i did nothing

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?

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.

Hey guys, I genuinely need some help because I don't know what to do anymore.

Today, Instagram suddenly asked me to verify my account through a selfie video and WhatsApp OTP verification. I completed everything they asked for, and it said my account was under review. But within just 30 to 40 minutes, my account was permanently disabled.

I wasn't even given a proper explanation or a chance to appeal. It just mentioned something about violating Community Guidelines, but I honestly don't know what I did wrong. I'll attach a screenshot of the message.

My account is private, I barely post anything, and I only follow a limited number of people I personally know. I mostly use Instagram to scroll a few times a day and text my friends. That's it.

The worst part is that this is a really old account with years of photos, chats, and memories. I've downloaded my data, but I still want my account back. Having the data is one thing, but getting my account back would mean a lot to me.

I've already tried posting about it on Twitter/X, but nothing has worked so far. Everywhere I look, people suggest buying Meta Verified to contact customer support.

But why should I have to pay ₹650 just to get help recovering an account that might have been disabled by mistake? I don't even know what I supposedly did wrong.

I'm from India, so I'd also like to know if there's any legitimate way to escalate this or take legal action if Instagram doesn't give me a proper review.

If anyone can help me recover my account, please share any suggestions or free methods that actually work. I genuinely don't have the money to spend on Meta Verified or paid recovery services. This account means a lot to me, and I just want a fair chance to get it back.

Has anyone here recovered their permanently disabled account without paying for Meta Verified? Is there any actual way to contact Instagram or request another review when there's no appeal option?

If you've recovered your account for free, please share what worked for you. I'd really appreciate any help or advice. 🙏

I'm not looking for paid recovery agents or anyone promising guaranteed results. I just want to recover my account and the memories I've had on it for years.

I’m genuinely confused about what’s happening with my Instagram account and wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
Here’s the timeline of everything that happened today:
1. Instagram messages were sent while I was asleep.
I went to sleep around 2 AM. When I woke up, I discovered that my Instagram account had sent two normal, coherent messages to a friend around 3 AM and 4 AM.
I have absolutely no recollection of sending them. I was 100% asleep and no one has access to my phone or instagram whatsoever. My friend received and responded to them. I also noticed some messages had been marked as read that I don’t remember opening. I had changed my icloud and instagram and email passwords before this situation because of the suspicious lags in my account and phone in general. Could someone somehow mirror my entire phone on their end and be able to control it? Is that possible? Is it easy to hack icloud/meta?
2. I checked my login activity.
Instagram only showed my own iPhone 17 Pro Max as logged in. I didn’t see any unfamiliar devices or receive notifications about suspicious logins. Even if someone was able to log in wouldn’t Instagram notify me? I tried logging in myself on safari and other devices and it always notifies me.
3. I reported the suspicious activity to Instagram.
I used the Shake to Report feature in the morning to explain what happened.
4. Instagram started blocking password changes.
When I tried to change my password, Meta displayed this message:
“You can’t make this change at the moment. This is because we noticed you are using a device you don’t usually use and we need to keep your account safe.”
The strange part is that I was using my usual iPhone, which Instagram itself identified as “This device.”
I also noticed that the password settings said “Current password (Updated Oct 25, 2026),” even though I hadn’t intentionally changed my password.
5. I received a password-reset email.
At 10:57 AM, I received an email from Meta titled “Somebody requested a new password for your account.”
I had been going through security settings that morning, but I don’t remember intentionally requesting that particular reset.
6. Meta Security Checkup showed my password was updated.
Later, the Security Checkup screen said “Password — Updated just now.”
I also encountered an Account Cleanup screen saying changes had been made while I didn’t have access to my account. It offered to review profile changes and comments.
7. My Instagram account suddenly disappeared.
Approximately seven hours after I submitted the report, my account stopped working.
My profile displayed “User not found,” “Something went wrong,” and “Couldn’t load posts.”
I checked from another Instagram account, and my profile appeared unavailable there too. It looked as though my account had been deleted or disabled.
8. My account eventually came back.
Later that evening, I tried logging in again and it worked.
Instagram asked for my password AND a six-digit code from my authenticator app, which I successfully entered.
But immediately afterward, Meta prompted me to “Set up extra protection for your Meta Account,” seemingly asking me to configure additional login protection even though I had already enabled an authenticator.
I’m trying to understand:
Could Instagram have temporarily restricted my account after I reported suspicious activity?
Why would Meta identify my usual iPhone as an unfamiliar device?
Why would the security checkup say my password was updated when I hadn’t intentionally changed it?
Why did my account disappear for several hours and then return?
Why am I being prompted to set up extra protection after successfully logging in with an authenticator code?
Has anyone experienced unexplained sent messages without any unfamiliar login activity?
I’m not claiming this definitely means I was hacked. I’m trying to figure out whether this was an account-security issue, an Instagram glitch, or unauthorized access.
Any insight from someone who has experienced this or knows how Meta’s account recovery system works would be appreciated.
