Instagram Appeal System Update - July 2020 🔧

Explained the situation but just know that because of COVID-19 they are slow in fixing

Has anyone who was in this limbo state been able to submit the appeals form? I’ve never had this problem before and am currently unsure how to actually submit my form now. It doesn’t matter which link I use, all of them give me the same error message.

Happened to one of my accounts.
It seems to be a bug,but i could not find a way around it.

It’s definitely a bug according to tons and tons of Reddit users but so far, nobody has found a solution (other than some users saying that one of their accounts was suddenly back a month later without doing anything). Honestly, I don’t even know what to do with this stupid app anymore. I can’t believe that you can’t appeal because of a bug on the app that has been around for over 6 months…

Update: 2 days after getting this bug, I was able to submit the form (I did it through the app, or specifically clicked on the button that led me to the browser form). I was honestly surprised because I thought it wouldn’t get out of the loop. The only thing I did (not sure if it helps) is update the app to the latest version (there is supposedly a new appeal form within the app for some users in dedicated countries, so not sure if that made a difference although I didn’t get that form) and then I unplugged my wifi to get a new residential IP, so perhaps it was the IP address as well. I do know from others on this forum who are still stuck in the loop, so unfortunately I can’t say that I found the solution to this, I can only tell you what I did and generally recommend to NEVER appeal through the app.

hi! my account has been blocked as well, how do i get there submitting any infos like the selfie.i just sent a code which they sent me via text message and it goes “thanks for providing your info, we’ll review your info and if we can confirm it, youll be able to acces your account within approximately 24h” i think it comes from using third party unfollow apps.it has been blocked for 5 days now i really dont know what to do :frowning:

You can’t submit an appeal via Appeal form when your account is still under review. Try following the steps on this thread: [MAY/JUNE 2020 FIX] "Help Us Confirm You Own This Account" [SOLUTION] you will be asked to send them info about your account and your selfie.

bosss, worked for me, hope they reply i had a really valuable @ with 60k

How much time passed until you succeeded to restore your account (since applying the image)?

hey did u get it back

You should really send in appeals daily, or at least start a new appeal process after you got the response from the old one (to avoid possible locks).

How long did it take after you sent in the selife until they gave you your account back?

That highly depends on the account.
Factors such as

  • ban reason
  • time since the ban
  • follower count
  • account history
  • luck

are all involved.
Anywhere from a few hours to literally years/never is possible :slight_smile:

Ban Reason = Violated terms of service (sending too many Dm’s)
Time Since Ban = 2 days
Follower count = 20k
Account History = 4 years old and only received a 7 day temp ban once. Otherwise no issues

Also its a business account and I provided my IRS documentation as proof when filling out the appeal form

Give it some time. It can take up to two weeks to get a proper response.

Should I keep appealing the ban once per day?

That depends, but give it at least 24h time before opening a new unban request circle.

Depends on what? I’m trying to figure out the best course of action

For starters go with every 48h and see how it goes. You probably cannot do anything wrong with that :slight_smile:

I haven’t gotten a reply yet. Any suggestions?

After 2 appeals I got an email from facebook that my IG account is reactivated, but when I try to log in it still says that my account is disabled and I can appeal. Someone had this problem? How did you resolve it? :thinking:
