Express yourself and connect with people over creative moments.

My account was disabled without completing the appeal when it was suspended and was found to be fake. If I am real, I would have completed the identification documents and selfie verification. My Facebook and Twitter accounts were connected to it. They were also closed. I am sure it was a system error, but no one is responding. I am protesting. I have been active since 2016.

Had to download insta lite cause for some reason original insta keeps crashing no matter what I do, so had to use lite, good enough, I hate the fact that I can't choose when a song starts and the length of it for stories or posts, and I also can't adjust the pic to the grid, so messy layout, can't save something to a specific collection, can't pause a reel when needed and no speed x2 option, and can't skip a specific part of a reel if I wanted to, meta using ai for updates is catastrophic...

I've been experiencing major technical issues with Instagram lately. My account was suspended yesterday and while I attempted to appeal the decision but failed. I never received the suspension email. Thinking it might refresh the session, I logged out, but now I'm completely locked out. Even the 'forgotten password' route fails, showing 'unable to log in, please try again later.' This is incredibly frustrating. Please look into these login bugs and fix this as soon as possible
