What to Do if Your Instagram Account Is Suspended

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms with over a billion active users. It has a set of rules you have to obey, otherwise, your account may get suspended.

Reasons Why Your Instagram Account Has Been Suspended or Disabled

There are many reasons why an Instagram account may get banned. Often, the accounts are suspended without any prior warning. Instagram won’t tell you the exact reason why the account was blocked. Rather, it will say the account has violated community guidelines or terms of use.

These are some possible reasons for the suspension of an Instagram account:

• Posts should not have nudity or sexual content.
• Posts or the comment section should not promote hate speech.
• Do not post pictures or videos that glorify violence.
• Avoid posting duplicate content.

If you think, your Instagram account does not violate the community guidelines, then you have a very good chance to recover it.

Before you appeal to Instagram for your account recovery, make sure that your account is actually suspended.

Try logging into your Instagram account with the correct login details. If you have forgotten the password, reset it using this link.
