Will Meta Verified help?

If you had it already

Meta says chat support needs you to be logged in to the verified profile in the Instagram app, with an active subscription. If you can still reach it, choose Get support and describe the problem.

If you did not

Buying it on another account does not give you support for the banned one.

What to do first

Here is the fuller version, step by step.

1. Open the Instagram app on the phone you normally use and read the full notice, including any date shown.
2. If there is a 'Disagree with decision' or appeal button, use it once and finish every step it asks for.
3. Check Settings, then Account Status, for the post or rule involved when you can still log in.
4. If someone else changed your login, look for the email from security@mail.instagram.com and use its link to undo the change, then go to instagram.com/hacked.
5. Answer any selfie or ID request in good light, with no filters, glasses or hat.

What to have ready

• Any security emails Instagram sent about changes.
• The username and the email or phone number on the account.
• Screenshots of every notice, with dates visible.
• A government ID showing the name you use on the account, if asked.
• For business profiles: a document in the business name and a website on your own domain.

How to word it

• Do not argue about the rules or send the same text again and again; one clear request is easier to process.
• Write in the language you use on the account.
• Keep it short: who you are, that the account is yours, and what you were doing before the notice.
• Say plainly if a third-party app, a shared login or a hack could explain the activity.

Things that slow it down

• Paying anyone who says they can reverse a decision through a contact inside Meta.
• Appealing over and over from different devices or a VPN.
• Sending your password or login codes to anyone.
• Making a new account to get around a disable; this can link the accounts and make things worse.

After you send it

• If the screen changes to a selfie or ID step, complete it promptly.
• Watch the email on the account, including spam, and the app notifications.
• If the account comes back, turn on two-factor with an authenticator app and remove old connected apps.
• Save the final decision screen; in the EU it is needed for an out-of-court dispute body.

When to ask for help

• Both the account and the email were taken in a hack.
• The account is a business or creator profile with linked ads.
• Selfie or ID checks keep failing.
• The appeal button is gone or the window has passed.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
