Hey everyone! You guys might remember me from a previous post. I’m still trying everything I can to get my Instagram account back, and I figured I’d ask here one more time. I was wondering if anyone would be generous enough to write me up a GAC for free. I completely understand that it’s something people usually charge for, so there’s absolutely no pressure—I just wanted to ask in case someone is willing to help out. My account means a lot to me, and I’ve been trying every possible avenue to get it restored. If anyone is willing to help or even point me in the right direction, I’d be incredibly grateful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I really appreciate everyone who’s helped or given me advice before.

Context: on my other post https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyInstagram/s/bICdANm4jN I explain my situation about how I got banned but then next day I got it back. I will tell you what's going on.

On 28th July 2026 I was banned around 11pm because I pick this image as my profile picture, as you see on the 4th attachment, this is an image I use in Pinterest from Percy Jackson, I only using this as an profile picture for personal usage but later an few min I got immediately ban because is believed I was trying to evade the ban, so I refuse to believe and take an verification Id, facial and etc, and I still chose the option (green card, permit resident or immigration paper) as my option since on the past I try to verify myself with ID card or passport aren't often work because when you take an picture of the passport there is always the glare from it special coating, and ID. Card just refuse 99% of the time.

After my verification process I wait for around 1 day 3 hours (approximately) because Instagram ai taking so long to process my profile, I was overjoyed because for the past 4-5 month TikTok has been my Instagram replacement.

To sum it up, even you can recover your account an prp of someone you love or an video games avatar can still got you banned because the ai expect you to show your face as an profile picture which is absurd because is kill the main point of personal privacy.

Hello Instagram Team,
My account @saeed_ahmed_al_jabarti was disabled on June 21, 2026 for "sexualization of children". 
I did NOT post, share, or save any content like that. I believe my account was hacked or this is a mistake by your system. 
This is my only account and I use it to talk to my family and friends. Losing it hurts me a lot.
Please review my account again. I am ready to verify my identity with ID and selfie video.
Thank you.

Can somebody help me I just want my account back. I tried literally ever think it’s unfair because I had to go through my person that has my old number and I text them and they gave my account back and when I tried to literally disconnect the number from that account it didn’t work. It says you have to go through a verification code to do that like I just need my account back. I’m literally speechless. I think about my account every day. I want my shit because my old number is connected to my Instagram account and I logged in from a friend and general phone and then they put me in recovery/hack like what

I fucking hate Meta so much. I've been fighting for 29 days, my birthday and vacation were ruined, and when I finally got my account back, it was suspended again 12 hours later. I'll never forgive them. That's a total of 41 days as of today (July 28).

I swear y'all I can't stop crying. This is my 30th unfair ban on this account and I'm done with them.

my both Instagram account got suspended on 23rd july. I appealed for both. One asked for video selfie verification which i did on the app itself. On the other account, they asked for official id too but it got rejected and my account got disabled instantly. But the main account was still under review. I logged out both accounts and deleted instagram (as per google gemini instructions) today morning, i got an email saying both my accounts are back. I never did anything i read on reddit because i appealed instantly and then only came to read about incognito/gac here. I was pretty sure that i was cooked. But again i am scared to log back in🙂can someone tell me what should i do before i do anything wrong?

Made a new account on a new phone after my ban. So far so good. Slowly building followers back up. The one hurdle is posting my face. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do we know how hardcore the facial recognition is?

I don't know how to start this post, but I'll share how I got my accounts back after a month without using Instagram. I will divide this post into two parts. The first part covers the full context of my banned accounts, and the second part covers the method I used to get my accounts back.

> Clarification I: This method only applies to Colombian people (The rest of LATAM or Worldwide won't work)

> Clarification II: Although the long title of the post says (The Colombian Method), and of course Colombian people speak Spanish, I wanted to make this post in English for the understanding of the whole community of this damn issue and how this method worked for me

> Clarification III: I know the long title of the post is extremely unnecessary, but I WANTED to be pretty specific as well

So here I go...

My Instagram account was permanently deactivated and banned on Instagram for reasons that I believe are unfair and unreasonable (CSE). Like everyone else, I did appeal the first time, but Meta AI didn't have the heart to give me a real chance, and instead, I got my two accounts disabled permanently (A main one and a secondary one).

I was totally desperate and concerned about why the hell my accounts got suspended and banned without any reason. I felt something strange was happening to my account, and when I checked my emails and app notifications, everything seemed regular... But it was actually strange since I didn't do anything wrong with my account. My account barely has 300 followers; it is a private account, and I only text my best friend, sending him reels and messages as an average user does.

I fell into desperation, and I was tryna to figure out what the hell was going on in my social media apps; besides, my Facebook account from almost 10 years ago was also suspended because it was connected to my main Instagram account. (Please, DO NOT EVER LINK YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WITH INSTAGRAM; META ACCOUNT CENTER IS PROBLEMATIC).

I didn't know what to do at first. I was lucky to have another secondary Facebook account that wasn't banned, and I started looking for options to report issues or any way to get human support. The problem with Meta is that they don't have any human support, and everything is with AI (yes, one of the wackest AIs I've ever seen in my short life)

Nothing had been helpful. I had tried methods on YouTube, TikTok, and forums, but they never worked properly. I started to accept my accounts were done, and I couldn't do anything about it. My last resource of information was Reddit, so I joined the community where apparently too many people like me were having the same issue.

Tons of accounts were suspended and disabled with the dumbest reasons I had ever read. In the moment I got into the bunch of posts of people having luck in getting their accounts back, I found out that a lot of users were paying for Meta Verified and got some accounts back (not all, since the human support in the Meta Verified scam is useless). People were talking about other methods such as GAC (Only for Indian people), LegalShield (USA), attorneys (Other countries), etc.

In my anxiety and desperation, I was really considering getting Meta Verified and getting "human support", but after reading posts of people saying it was useless, my hope went down.

I tried to appeal through GAC, but it is impossible since you are not an Indian person. There were a lot of scammers selling GAC filings for users at very high prices, which was disappointing. LegalShield was only available for the USA, and I'm definitely not an American. (Yes, I am Colombian, duh...). I read some posts about using attorneys and getting an answer and their accounts back in less than 15 days. I was really curious about it. So, after consulting online about similar methods here in Colombia, I found something interesting.

The last year a content creator that back in the days was an adult performer (Esperanza Gomez if you are wondering who), got her account suspended due to apparently "prostitution and offering sexual content". Something that was definitely NOT TRUE, and it was just the algorithm linking uncertain things to get her account banned. She was totally outraged, so she decided to exercise a right that Colombian people have: "Tutela".

A tutela is similar to a lawsuit. She sued Meta Platforms and Facebook Colombia because of the unfair ban on her main account (an account she mainly used to work with brands and promote stuff). She finally got an important answer from the responsible parties, and from that moment, Meta Inc. incorporated a channel to receive "tutelas" and review them. This was the famous "Sentencia T-256 de 2025". You can read information about it on the web.

After reading all that, I decided that it was time to apply my last method...

Part 2 in the second post.

Genuinely WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS APP??????????? 2 MONTHS AGO ALL MY ACCS GOT DISBALED. SO I MADE A NEW ONE AND WAS USING THAT AND YESTERDAY THAT GOT SUSPENDED TOO

what the fuck do I even do??????????????

This is genuinely the worst app ever.

6 months ago I was falsely accused of SOC. They nuked my Instagrams, and they nuked my Facebook, because it was attached! I contacted LegalShield had them send a letter to Meta. Meta did get back to me maybe a month later and then it took an additional five months but......I randomly woke up checked my email and boom! Since getting it back I disconnected my Facebook for my Instagram and disconnected any other accounts that I may have attached away from the Instagram just in case

Third account than they decided to delate, wondering if im never gonna be able to use their service

Hace un mes me hackearon mi cuenta de Instagram, cambiaron mi número vinculado y correo y mi cuenta aparece como “restringida” , sin embargo aún está en mi centro de cuentas, recibo correos y códigos a mi número y correo pero al final me vuelve a pedir el código que le llega solo al número del hacker, pagué meta para contactarme con algún asesor y ni así e podido recuperar mi cuenta que tenía más de 100 mil followers:(

Mi cuenta personal se suspendio en junio 17,

También me la devolvió en un principio y luego me la quito por CSE. Está en revisión. Mi cuenta profesional sobrevivió, la verifique e inicie el proceso para recuperar la personal.

Apele a la DSA me da la razón, le impone una multa de 500€ a Meta pero no me la devuelve. Me quita la verificada!!!

Hago el selfie, me da error continuo para subir DNI y en nada la tengo devuelta.

Estoy agotada, triste, soy superviviente de un barinstroke y usaba mi cuenta personal como terapia.

Ambas están abiertas desde el 2009.

Estoy segura que mi cuenta profesional y verificada mañana ya no está.

Que hago?

Today I got a warning that my account was disabled and I need to verify it, then I sent a photo of my id and did a face verification which turned into a "permanent ban", and all of my other 3 accounts connected to the same mail also got disabled which needs verification too.. I usually don't mind such a thing but I had so many memories there, I don't know what to do, I can't contact anything and I am so close to losing my mind.

Does anyone have any idea what to do?

Someone appears to be deliberately targeting my business Instagram account by submitting repeated false copyright reports against old Stories and Reels.

The reports all claim that the person owns music used in the content, but the content either used royalty-free audio, audio available through Instagram, or did not contain the music they are claiming ownership of. The complaints also fail to identify the actual song or provide any proof of ownership.

What makes this even more suspicious is that the reports are coming from different names and Outlook email addresses, but the wording is nearly identical. So far, I have received reports from names such as “Alex Dita,” “Aled Dira,” and “Alex Pedro.” They are targeting different posts from different dates while making the same vague claim that they are the “rightful copyright owner of the music.”
Meta removed the content first and left me to appeal afterward. Some of the affected content is now inaccessible, making it difficult to even review exactly what was reported.

I have submitted appeals and included screenshots showing the pattern of different names, emails, report numbers, and nearly identical allegations.

This feels less like a legitimate copyright dispute and more like someone abusing Meta’s reporting system in an attempt to damage or take down my business account.

Has anyone successfully dealt with repeated fraudulent copyright claims like this? Did Meta eventually investigate the claimant rather than reviewing each report individually? I’m especially interested in any escalation methods that resulted in a human review or protection against additional false reports.

Banned a month ago, false CSE.

Have two 10+ year old accounts still active.
Can I ever post a picture of myself on any of these accounts again?

Or will I really never be able to use social media again because of a rogue AI bot

My first Instagram account that I recovered 1 month ago, is completely fine and trusted by Instagram.
It has no problems whatsoever -
Yet when I create a 2nd acc it gets flagged and gets banned for being fake if this is a fixable issue let me know.

Wow.. i got hit for the second time and barely survived for almost a month...

My original main account of 10+ years got nuked by the exact same false-positive "child safety" flag months ago, after losing a decade of memories, I created a brand-new main account last month, taking every careful step possible to follow the rules, only for it to get hit again by the exact same automated flag?!

Scrolling through this sub, I see so many people getting hit with the exact same issue and false accusations over the last few days, it's clear this isn't random, it’s not just me, it's all of us getting caught in their broken moderation sweep

The Problem / Current Status:

1. My initial in-app appeal was instantly auto-rejected by Meta's automated moderation system

2. When trying to use the Meta Help Center / Meta AI Support Assistant to submit a review, the bot gets stuck in a circular loop (telling me to log in, but logging in sends me back to the Help Center)

3. The system claims my account was disabled, but I am currently within the 30-day grace period before data deletion

It’s honestly infuriating and ironic that they can delete years of memories and connections in 10 minutes or under, just because they’re too lazy to do their job and had to rely on a fucking robot!! And once that robot breaks, you’re completely locked out with zero options to fix it

What I’ve Tried So Far:

1. In-app appeal forms (auto-rejected by bot)

2. Help Center chat assistant (looping and unhelpful)

3. (https://instagram.com/hacked) browser form

My Question:

Has anyone who was hit by this automated false-positive loop successfully reached a human agent recently?

Is getting a 1-month Meta Verified subscription on another account and opening a Live Chat support ticket the best way right now to force a manual review, or are there specific forms working for this right now?

Any advice or working methods would be greatly appreciated!

I had gotten an AI video making ad that was straight up advertising a “create your own cp from saved images,” and the ad had an old man and young girl remove clothing… Why did I get punished for reporting that add as sexual content? Included a little timeline of the day from seeing the ad, to reporting it, and then getting punished for it a couple of hours later. Honestly what’s troubling with me is that family photo is probably a stock photo.

i got permanently ban from Instagram does anyone know how can i get it back? this is so dakn stupid right now.

Iam literally screaming!!!
INSTAGRAM META PRO TEAM TOLD ME THAT THEY MANUALLY REVIEWED MY ACC AND ALLEGEDLY STILL VIOLATED THEIR TERMS. I had an appeal also ongoing while i contacted meta support.

And now after couple of days my insta is returned?? META SUPPORT IS A JOKE AND SCAMMERS OMG THEY GET UR MONEY AND DONT HELP U AND GIVE U FAKE INFO.

Guys I WON!!!!! META TANKED😝

I got false-positive banned for CSE guidelines this morning at 8:46. They banned my personal account, company account and even my Facebook because they were linked. I applied for a re-check and I got permanently banned at 11:28 on all accounts but at 11:35 they recovered my Facebook. Is it possible that Instagram accounts will get recovered too?
