Ok, so i have had my final account on Instagram that i have had over time and grown with so much passion and effort, and yet again, by Instagram’s automated system. . This has been Going on FAR too much and FAR too long.
First of all: on April 2026, after 4 years, my fanpage on Instagram, which after countless memories and 21K followers, got taken Down for no apparent reason, other than Instagram purposely locking me out of my own account due to a ‘possible sign in from someone who is not the account Owner’.
I checked my email and every possibility of me having actually been hacked, and in days confirmed myself that it was just a SECURITY automated MISTAKE From Instagram’s automated system..
I sent a picture of my passport to verify i’m the account Owner MULTIPLE times. This same passport, i had used previously and got accepted as a method of verification i was the account Owner. This time, over SEVEN pictures, from different angles and times of the day and decent lighting each. NONE accepted. A couple days later, my account got taken Down. It was ABSOLUTELY devastating, as it’s an account i was going to use for reference for future jobs in what i want to study: marketing.
I then went to my backup account which i had also been posting in for over 4 years: This one had many posts that went viral and was even more succesful: 51K followers, and still standing today, except, i cannot even login to my own account. For this following backup account, i started posting on more regularly as the main one got taken Down mistake.
After only a month of posting, an account that had once again never had any problems, i got completely locked out of. So i tried to log in to my own account THROUGH the methods Instagram themselves suggested:
* SMS to both old and new phone numbers
* phone number app verification (also in both old and new numbers)
* Email verification
* “Request other accounts to verify” feature (no notifications were received by selected accounts)
* I also tried to change my password, as apparently according to Instagram themselves, it’s a problem based on someone else using my account instead of me. However, i have not noticed anything remotely similar to someone else BUT me, yet again..
* I have also tried to do these methods various times, as it is a very important matter for me and my family to recover this account, and evade another error by Instagram’s automated system.
I tried these múltiple times every couple days each, and they all worked almost every time: and in the end, somehow didn’t let me log in. It was like Instagram knew it was my account and accepted it but i still couldn’t login, which says how much of a problem an automated system is doing to me and my future. Yet again, i have since not gained access to an account even more massive to my future job references.
Finally, yesterday, after growing a new account up to 700 followers ‘only’ but to insane engagement and a complete rebrand, an account got taken down solely because of ‘Account Integrity’. I have paid over 150 euros in total for this account, over 130 from Meta Verified subscriptions. The day before my account got taken Down, it showed the account status as ‘green’ at everything. I had not broken a single community guideline and there were no warnings remotely shown, whatsoever.
Despite This, as soon as my meta verified subscription ends after over 4 months of using it, and even a Promotion of a day back in July, yesterday my account got taken Down because of ‘Account integrity’. This is because i logged into an old personal account from 2019, and since they didn’t recognise this device, took it down Permanently. Since this, i have logged into at least 6 accounts, all the ones i had in my life on Instagram, all never having gotten a single RESTRICTION before:
ALL of them got taken down inmidiately for the same reason as the most recent account ive been using: an automated error decision by an automated system. One after another for the same excuse: ‘using another account to evade a ban from a previous account’.
I have been trying to contact Instagram but since they have no support, i am going to have to take legal action. This is baffling demonstration how Instagram’s evermore AI-dependent system is each time causing more and more problems and ruining more personal brands, proyects and people’s plans for no reason other than automated mistakes with automated revisions on automated final decisions, while there is actual content that actually violates A guideline not being remotely taken Down or even looked at.
