Account integrity appeal: what to write.
A plain structure for the appeal box when Instagram says your account broke its rules on account integrity.
Keep the appeal short, factual and about your own account. Say who you are, that the account is real and yours, what you use it for, and anything that may have looked unusual, such as a new device, a hack, a third-party app or bought engagement you have since stopped. Do not paste a long letter, threaten legal action or ask for a specific person at Meta. Send it once from the notice on your usual device. Meta makes the final decision.
Your own words

Once only
Repeat appeals do not help.
A simple structure
- Who: your name and the account’s username.
- What it is: personal, creator or business, and how long you have had it.
- What may have happened: one or two sentences, for example a login you did not make, an automation or follower app you used, or a shared device.
- What you changed: removed the app, changed the password, turned on two-factor.
- The ask: that the account be looked at again.
What to leave out
- Long letters addressed to “the Meta team” copied from the internet.
- Threats, legal language or demands for compensation.
- Screenshots of unrelated chats or other people’s accounts.
- Claims you cannot back up, such as being verified when you are not.
Where to send it
Only in the appeal box on the disabled notice or in Account Status. Emailing the letter elsewhere, including to independent services like Unbanz, does not send it to Meta.
Where the appeal goes
| Link | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Disabled Instagram accounts help.instagram.com/366993040048856 | Meta’s help page for disabled accounts. If your account is disabled you see a message as soon as you log in, and the appeal starts from that message, not from a separate form. |
| Account Status help.instagram.com/338481628002750 | In the app: Settings, then Account Status. Shows removed posts, features you are blocked from and, where offered, a Request a review button. Check it before anything else if you can still log in. |
| How Meta disables accounts transparency.meta.com/enforcement/taking-action/disabling-accounts/ | Meta’s explanation of why and when accounts are disabled. |
| Community Standards transparency.meta.com/policies/community-standards/ | The rules most Instagram and Facebook notices point to. |
Before you open any link
- Screenshot the full notice, including the date and any reference number.
- Use the phone or computer you usually log in from, on your normal network, without a VPN.
- Appeal once, in plain words. Repeated or copy-pasted appeals do not help.
- Do not make a new account while you wait.
- There is no “private” or “direct” appeal link. Use the official links on this page, or send us your case.

Updated November 2026
For Instagram, the appeal starts from the notice at login or from Account Status in the app. Meta may ask for a video selfie before it looks at the appeal. A countdown on the notice shows how long the account can still be appealed. If both Instagram and Facebook went down together, see linked accounts disabled together. All official links: Instagram appeal links directory.
I emailed my appeal letter to Meta. Did it arrive?
Meta does not process account appeals by email. Paste a short version of your letter into the appeal field shown in the app, Account Status or Business Support Home.
What to send us
- The username or profile link.
- A screenshot of the exact notice, with the date visible.
- Whether you already appealed, and what Meta replied.
- Whether you still have the email and phone number on the account.
- Never your password or login codes.
Send it on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
What does account integrity mean on Instagram?
It is a broad label Meta uses when it believes an account was used in ways that break its rules, often linked to spam-like activity, automation, inauthentic engagement or links to other removed accounts.
How long should my appeal be?
A few short sentences is enough. Clear and specific beats long.
Can I send the appeal by email?
No. Instagram appeals go through the notice in the app or Account Status.
My appeal was rejected. Can I write again?
Inside Instagram, a decision after appeal is usually final. EU users may have Digital Services Act routes.
