Stop bulk actions
Following, liking and commenting in big batches is the trigger.
Home / Instagram account help
Instagram suspended you for following too many accounts?
Following and liking in bulk is one of the quickest ways to get flagged, especially on a newer account.
Instagram limits how many accounts you can follow, like or message in a short stretch, and newer accounts have lower thresholds. Going past them can lead to action blocks and, if it continues, a suspension. Stop the bulk activity, keep it light for a while, then appeal with an honest account of what you did.
Newer accounts are stricter
A fresh account with a lot of activity stands out more.
Appeal after you stop
Say you have stopped and what you will do differently.
What counts as too much
Instagram does not publish exact numbers, and they change by account age and history. What matters is the pattern.
- Following dozens of accounts within a few minutes.
- Liking hundreds of posts back to back.
- Follow, then unfollow, repeated across a list.
- Using a bot or a script to do any of these.
What to do
- Stop all bulk activity from the account.
- Remove any tool that automates follows or likes.
- Request a review from the notice and describe what you were doing honestly.
- Keep activity gentle and human for a while after access returns.
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
- Message us on WhatsApp or email with your Instagram username and a screenshot of the notice.
- We tell you honestly whether this is something we can help with.
- We prepare the appeal and the supporting details, to go through Instagram’s own channels.
- We stay in touch while you wait. Meta makes the final decision, and nobody can promise the outcome.
Who this is for
- New accounts that grew by following others.
- Social media managers doing outreach by hand.
- Anyone who tried a growth tool.
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)
Is there anywhere to go after a final no?
In the EU, Appeals Centre Europe can review Facebook and Instagram account decisions. It is free and non-binding, and Meta’s internal appeal must be finished first. Outside the EU there is no equivalent body for account decisions.
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.
Where is the appeal in Accounts Center?
If you can still log in, open Settings, then Accounts Center, then Account status, and pick the account. If you cannot log in, the login screen usually shows the notice with a button to disagree or request a review. Menu names change between app versions, so match the wording on your screen.

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.
Is following people against the rules?
No. Doing it in bulk, or with a tool, is what causes trouble.
How long should I wait before using the account again?
There is no fixed time. Start gently once access is back and avoid bursts.
Can Unbanz raise my limits?
No. Nobody can. We can only help you appeal a suspension.
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.
