What to Do When Your Instagram Account is Disabled or Deactivated
Instagram might disable or deactivate your account without prior notice, leaving you puzzled about the reasons behind the suspension or how to recover it. This guide explores potential causes for account bans and offers strategies to regain access to your disabled Instagram account.
Why Was My IG Account Disabled?
Even after getting your account back, the exact reasons for its deactivation might remain unclear. Possible causes can include:
- Repeated violations of intellectual property rights.
- Consistent posting of deceptive or scam-related content.
- Purchasing followers or engagement through likes.
- Using harsh or abusive language.
- Employing third-party tools for automated following, liking, or commenting.
- An accidental ban triggered by automated systems.
How Can I Get My Instagram Account Back?
If you discover that your Instagram account has been deactivated, follow these steps to attempt recovery:
- Check Login Issues: Start by verifying login issues. Instagram will typically show a message if your account has been disabled. If there’s no such message, consider other login problems first.
- Remove Third-Party Apps: Apps like Follow Guard or Followers Insight violate Instagram’s Community Guidelines. Even if your account is reinstated, using these apps can lead to another ban. It’s best to eliminate them immediately to avoid further issues.
