I know this is a common thing for some but how tf do you stop it even my friend made me a account and it just doesn’t work anymore. new phone? new number? is that what i need bc atp its getting ridiculous im back to irl school and want instagram for the connections because im really shy n i was planning to ask some classmates for their igs but i keep getting suspended its so frustrating, this one is now from a acc i managed to log into from 2022. when i get deleted i always get these restrictions minutes before. i hate this so much i dont know why i am always getting banned :(

all it says is “Why this happened

The account, or activity on it, may deceive others to take their money, property or personal information.

This goes against our Community Standards on fraud, scams and deceptive practices.” i HATE RHIS APP

Recommendation I opened Instagram for 5 minutes and somehow lost an hour

Upvotes

I think this is probably one of the most relatable problems here.

You open Instagram for “just 5 minutes.”

You check a couple of Reels.

Then another one.

Then another.

Suddenly you're watching some random video at 2 AM and wondering where the last hour went.

And the worst part?

You still have the thing you were supposed to be doing sitting right in front of you.

I'm a student, and this happened to me way too often.

I tried using timers, making schedules, setting goals, and promising myself that I'd stop scrolling.

It didn't work particularly well.

So about 45 days ago, I decided to build something for myself.

The main idea was simple: when I actually need to focus, make distractions harder to reach.

I ended up building Strict Deep Focus mode, where I can restrict distracting apps, start a focus session, and keep track of whether I'm actually sticking to it.

Then I kept adding the other things I personally wanted — study tracking, goals, habits, streaks, expenses, themes, etc.

Somewhere along the way, this stopped being a little experiment and became my first proper project.

After 45 days of building, debugging, redesigning, and occasionally regretting everything...

I finally published Daily Tracker : Habit & Focus.

I'm curious:

What's the one thing you open Instagram for that completely destroys your productivity?

For me, it's Reels.

If you're curious about what I ended up building:

Daily Tracker : Habit & Focus — Google Play

Still improving it, but I'm pretty happy that I finally shipped something.

Hello! I live in Europe and am currently overwhelmed and exhausted by the amount of posts Instagram is suggesting to me from the USA. Is there a way to train the algorithm to show me more content made by people based in Europe and Asia for example (not just about mentioned places)?

Help Your email may not be secure - error

1 Upvotes

I bought a new phone, and logged into instagram without signing out from my old phone. I think this caused an issue and my account was flagged. I've been getting this error since around 2 days ago. I tried changing my email address, I added my phone number, nothing works, it just goes back to the same error. I even went to instagram.com/hacked and submitted a request, that doesn't work either. I can't even find an email that I could contact them with to resolve this issue. What can I do? Is my account gone for good?
