How to get your banned instagram account back

Keep in mind, we may permanently remove an account that repeatedly violates the Community Guidelines or Terms of Use. If you think your account was disabled by mistake, you may be able to appeal the decision by opening the app, entering your username and password and following the on-screen instructions.

The duration of a temporary ban on Instagram usually ranges from a few hours to 48 hours. Your ban's duration also depends on the follow-up actions you take. Do you continue to commit the wrong actions? Then the ban may be extended.

If you are unable to open Instagram and try to log in to see whether your account is banned, you can ask your friends to look up your account. They have to tap on the magnifying glass in the app and type in your Instagram username. If your account does not show up, that likely means that your account is banned.
