“We’ve restricted your account” on Instagram.

How a restriction differs from a suspension, and what to do.

Updated 13 November 2026

A restriction limits features, such as following, liking, commenting, messaging or going live, without disabling the account. It usually comes with an end date in Account Status. Stop the activity that triggered it, remove automation apps, and use Request a review in Account Status if it is offered. If the restriction turns into “We suspended your account”, appeal from that notice. Unbanz handles disabled and suspended Instagram accounts for $800, paid upfront with a 100% refund if it fails.
