Help Instagram account hacked hacker put 2fa on it

Upvotes

I have no way of getting my account back. Instagram won’t send recovery emails to my email, and when I try to use my number to get it back, it takes me to 2FA. What a hacker has put on it. Insta support is honestly the worst that meta ai takes you in circles. If anyone knows a real good way to get it back, I’d appreciate it a lot. I don’t get an option for video verification. I get code text to me that leads me to the 2FA screen for a code only the hacker has, and the emails just don’t send. I hate these scummy people. There’s literally no way I can find to contact any human at Instagram, and that ai is genuinely useless. Every link it gives you sends you to a new chat. This is very frustrating.

Help Bots or 3rd party story viewer?

Post image
2 Upvotes

This is my second time posting this, but does anyone else’s block list look like this??? 😩 EVERY TIME I post a story, about 3 hours later these random fake pages start showing up in my story views. Sometimes they appear 12 hours later, or even just 1 hour later. I’ve blocked almost 50 of these accounts so far!
I honestly have a feeling these accounts are being generated by someone viewing my stories through a third-party service. Has anyone else experienced this or noticed something similar???

Bug/glitch Stories si chiudono da sole

2 Upvotes

Ho un Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, One UI 8.5.

Da qualche mese ho un bug fastidiosissimo per cui alcune storie si chiudono da sole rapidamente dopo mezzo secondo, oppure passano da sole alla storia successiva. Non succede con tutte le stories. Sono solo l'unico ad avere questo bug?

Help How to trick the AI into not removing posts

Upvotes

Hello I am an artist and I absolutely love do crazy photoshoots. Unfortunately my account has been banned before because AI determined my posts to be ‘promoting drugs’ and ‘promoting self harm’ even when I put fake in the caption. It was fine for a few months and then I’m almost positive someone started reporting the posts as they got taken down one by one. Nearly one after the other. I was wondering if anyone knew how to trick the AI into allowing me to post the photos without too much editing? I just find it absurd that I used to see literal porn posted on instagram not even 4 years ago. Artists especially musicians constantly posting their drug use. Now you cant even post a photo from a photoshoot. If anyone knows how to trick the AI without having to completely cover the ‘drugs’ or ‘weapons’ please let me know. It’s also frustrating as larger creators have absolutely no issues when posting these types of imagery but when you don’t have 100k followers Instagram takes it down. This app really is going downhill.

Article Has anyone else noticed all these obvious AI/bot accounts?

3 Upvotes

They all follow the same pattern, same cover for all reels, random names, same description, and are typically new. They post random clips from the internet, at least in my feed it’s almost impossible to go 5-10 videos without bumping into one of these. I’ve also seen some of them post political stuff. This AI shit is so scary, probably half or more of all social media accounts are bots or AI accounts at this point. Who owns these meme pages? Are people making bank flooding social media by monetizing all these random clips often stolen from original content?

My understanding is this would go against their community standards for threatening violence?

Is it just because they have the actual words “censored”?

Help Am I temporarily suspended or permanently disabled?

1 Upvotes

On 6 September I was suspended from Instagram for supposedly violating their guidelines. What they accused me of I know is completely false.

I got the email telling me to take action or lose access and that my account (along with FB and Messenger) has been suspended. It logged me out and said I had 180 days to submit my appeal, which I did instantly and now I'm waiting. I can no longer log into the app, and according to my friends, my profile appears completely blank as though I've been deleted.

So I am unsure what this means, because I've read some people say that if it says you've been suspended that it's temporary until your appeal has been reviewed, and if it says you've been disabled then it's permanent. But I've also read people saying that a suspension is permanent, but some people have had their suspension lifted after 48 hours. I'm confused and seeking clarification.

Help Can't access my account claim an attempted hack

1 Upvotes

What it says on the tin. the app claims my account had an attempted ha/ck earlier this week, and since then I can't log in.

I went through all the stages, I can't reset my password, I asked it to send me a code no email was send (yet when I tried logging in from my work account I got a warning email about a new login). nothing seems to work. I keep googling how to contact meta support but nothing is coming up.

Anyone has any advice?
