This is affecting me in my role as digital marketer to effectively carrying out my duties. These activities should not be happening!
I would be grateful if you can investigates and get back to me at your earliest convenience.
Desired outcome: To open the instragram account, I have created.

can't change my bio or profile picture on my account for over 7 months without explanation or reason
I've been using the social network Instagram for over 6 years, I've never done anything against the platform's guidelines and I've never done anything wrong and it's affecting my business as well as affecting my life my account is @gustveraa
I would like not only to know the reason for all this but also that my problem be solved immediately I'm tired of it
Auto-moderation features making logging-in impossible
Two nights ago, Instagram decided my account (Betty_white_jr) was involved in "suspicious behavior" and they logged me out of my account. Yes, the name is a little untimely, but I have had that name for over 6 months.
When I tried to log in, on my iPhone, the app was a laggy, glitchy mess for about 5 minutes. The screen flashed variations of the Instagram/facebook/meta logo and a white screen, before finally settling on a captcha test.
It was a normal "Check this box to prove you are not a robot" test, and I completed it quickly. However, the next screen is where the trouble began. After another 2 or 3 minutes of the screen flashing and the app desperately attempting to load something, it asked for my phone number to send an SMS code. I thought: "Ah, finally. I can forget about this mess and just continue to my account." I was wrong.
I put in my number, no code. I asked for it to resend the code, another two times. No code. At this point, it said I was out of codes to send, and I had to wait 24 hours. In the meantime, Instagram completely deactivated the account, making it inaccessible to everyone including me. I waited until today, and put in the number of another phone in my household, to ensure my phone wasn't acting up. No code. Another different phone, no code.
I used to use Instagram's quick log-in/log-out screen to switch between accounts quickly. However, now on my phone, I can no longer even attempt to log into betty_white_jr, as if the account was deleted entirely. I attempted to log in, and reactivate on my desktop, however, they won't send the necessary SMS code to log in.
I repeat, the code I need to log in has never been sent, to 3 different devices. It is impossible for me to log in and reactivate my account.
I have been using this account for over two years. It has more than just a few memories on it. I cannot explain how frustrating this is in polite language. The fact that the software isn't just awkward, laggy, or confusing but just "straight-up" doesn't function is at the core of this frustration. There are countless issues with the app, even when I'm logged in, and to go into detail about all of them would require time I do not have left in my lifespan.
Instagram, I beg you to let me back into Betty_white_jr. I beg you to fix your sad, broken app and make it usable again. For the time being, I have no reason to use your app, I no longer have an account. However, with your 1.386 billion users, you don't have a reason to care, do you?
Desired outcome: Reactivation of my account, and the ability to log in again.
Account
I was banned for "hate speech and inciting violence". My comment was "that punk needs his a$$ stomped". This reply was in reference to the attacker in a video someone posted of an autistic teenager getting sucker punched and others joining in and gang beating him as he's defenseless and screaming for help and other kids watching, laughing and recording.
Does this sound fair to you? I was banned for "inciting violence" but you allowed this disabled young teenager's humiliation and ruthless beating to remain?...
Its ridiculous. Unreal.

Desired outcome: I want my account restored to original capacity
Instagram and their notifications.
Blinking notification to turn on notifications. I don't have notifications turned on in Instagram. I don't want Instagram notifications and the irritating blinking 'demand' to turn them all will not work. WTH? Blinking notification to turn on notifications. I don't have notifications turned on in Instagram. I don't want Instagram notifications and the irritating blinking 'demand' to turn them all will not work. WTH?
Desired outcome: Quit asking me to turn notifications on.
Not holding some user to the tos
For over the last three years, Instagram has allowed a verified account to violate many TOS. From drugs, death threats, brandishing weapons, sexually explicit content, doxing, harassment, etc ... There are hundreds of hours of footage showing this. Cops have been involved, CPS, ect .. yet Instagram continues to allow Aaron Carter to continue his abusive hate behavior daily for hundreds to see. Aaron has also used racial slurs multiple times on the platform and made anti-sematic remarks. I want this verified account suspended, if it was anyone else it would be by now, esp if it was a person of color.

Hacked and stolen page
My daughter's Instagram account, x3_nini has been hacked and stolen. I have called 650-543-4800 several times, but I was unable to get through to anyone. I emailed security@instagram.com about three times advising of this but I have yet to receive a response.
x3_nini was hacked and an email was not received regarding any changes to her account. My daughter's email address and cell phone number were changed.
I have filled out several forms with Instagram, but there has been no action on its part. Instagram's form doesn't have an option to report a hacked account. My daughter's account has been reported several times but again no action.
My daughter's account, with her likeliness is being used for fraud. There have been Instagram stories, posts and direct message regarding making fast money. Many of my daughter's followers have received direct messages asking for payments through cash app and pretending to be my daughter.
I don't understand why it is nearly impossible to reach anyone at Instagram regarding this situation. My daughter is a victim!
I have filed a complaint with the BBB against Instagram. I am also looking into other avenues to take against Instagram due to its lack of action.
It is requested that x3_nini be deleted.
Desired outcome: Deletion of the hacked page

Instagram is holding back my posts and has disconnected my personal facebook page .
Instagram has been holding back my posts so noone can see them. They also disconnected my link with my personal facebookpage and have reconnected my old proffesional page with I used for my webshop. I stopped with my webshop in juli 2020. And set my instagram to a personal page. Now I see that there is a shopping button placed on my profile and when I look at my likes I'm forced to fill in products to shop. Which I don't have because I do not use Instagram proffessionally. I cannot remove this or do anything about it. This is purely harrassing people. I have lost everything during the pandemic and I do not need any bullying from Instagram
Desired outcome: Fixe this so I can go back to my personal things
Your service
Sadly my girlfriend has finally told me after 4 days what has gotten her depressed and its your service or companies action. She had a blog, with 15, 000 followers for her side business as a cosmetics adviser. She invests a lot of time which has grown in to a hobby for her. Sadly due to suspicious activity your firm decided to delete her account. She only posts pictures of cosmetics so how can that be suspicious? Some computer geek at your company has obviously created a bad algorithm. She has created a new one yesterday but has only managed to collate 4000. For her work she needs 10+K followers.
How are you going to rectify this? By re-establishing her blog Instagram site. Her site was Pink Wall Blog by Evelin Armella and her email is [protected]@gmail.com
Desired outcome: Re establish her instagram account
I commented on something in Instagram. A person replied with a rude comment. So I replied back, and suddenly my Instagram stopped working. The feed doesn't load, I cannot like, or comment on anything. I cannot see any posts or people's account pictures.

Bullying by instagram
My instagram account has been dead for two weeks and I am blaming instagram for it. They wiped out everything on my account for what seems like no reason, though I think bullying is the only answer I can come up with. I want everything on my account back the way it was and for Instagram to stop their bullying! I am demanding action and disciplinary measures against these clowns!
Desired outcome: Accountability and restoration of my account
