Instagram keeps asking you to confirm you are human?

Common reasons

• VPNs, proxies and public Wi-Fi.
• Third-party tools still connected to the account.
• Many rapid actions, such as follows or comments.
• Multiple people logging in from different places.

What to try

1. Disconnect from the VPN and use your normal connection.
2. Remove any connected tool and extension.
3. Log in on your usual phone and complete the check once.
4. If it loops, take a screen recording and send it to us.

Repeatedly tapping through can add more checks. Try calmly and leave the account alone for a while if it does not pass.

What to send

• Your Instagram username (the public @handle).
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email address or phone number is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened in the days before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.

How it works with Unbanz

1. Message us on WhatsApp or email with your Instagram username and a screenshot of the verification request.
2. We tell you honestly whether this is something we can help with.
3. We check what is going wrong in the request and help you prepare it again properly.
4. We stay in touch while you wait. Meta makes the final decision, and nobody can promise the outcome.

Who this is for

• People who cannot pass the human check.
• Teams who share a login.
• Owners who use a VPN.

Staying safe

Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.

Questions people also ask (2026)

Disabled and no option to send ID?

Meta often asks for a video selfie instead of a document, or shows no upload at all. Record the selfie once, in good light, with no filters or glasses. If no option appears, screenshot the screen with the date. Sending repeated requests does not help.

How long does an appeal take?

Meta does not commit to a timeline. Waits vary widely, and identity checks can add to them. The appeal window shown on a disable notice is usually about 180 days, so note the date on yours.

Stuck on “we’re reviewing your info” after verification?

That screen means the selfie or document was received. Do not resubmit unless asked, and do not create new accounts while waiting, which can be treated as getting around the decision. If nothing changes for weeks, an EU user can look at Appeals Centre Europe once Meta’s own appeal is done.
