Appeal in the app
Step one, from the notice.
Home / Instagram account help
Instagram disabled your account and you live in Germany?
In Germany you have the in-app appeal and, after that, the EU dispute route. Here is the order to use them in.
If Instagram disabled your account and you live in Germany, appeal in the app first and keep the final decision. Under the Digital Services Act you can then take it to a certified dispute body such as Appeals Centre Europe or User Rights. If the account was hacked first, report it to the police online.
Dispute body
Appeals Centre Europe or User Rights.
Hacked
Report it to the police.
Steps
- Screenshot the notice, with the date and any deadline shown.
- Appeal from the notice in the app, once, with accurate details.
- Do the video selfie or ID check if Instagram asks for it.
- Keep the final decision message. You need it for the next step.
Routes in Germany
- After a rejected appeal, file with a certified dispute body such as Appeals Centre Europe or User Rights, using the reference from the decision.
- Under Article 15 GDPR you can ask Meta for a copy of your personal data.
- The Bundesnetzagentur is the German coordinator for the Digital Services Act.
- Most federal states run an online police station where you can report a hack or a scam.

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.

QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can I write the appeal in German?
Yes. Instagram and the dispute bodies accept German.
Can the Bundesnetzagentur restore my account?
No. It supervises the rules. It does not switch accounts back on.
Do I need a lawyer?
No. The dispute body route is built for individuals.
Do I need to share my Instagram password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about an Instagram suspension?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
