The Instagram “Your account has been temporarily blocked from taking this action” isn’t an error users want to see popping up. This is especially true when the message appears alongside a ban. Here’s the need-to-know information on how to fix the Instagram account blocked error message.
How to fix the Instagram ‘Your account has been temporarily blocked’ error message
To fix the Instagram “Your account has been temporarily blocked” error message users must:
- Select “Tell us” if you think there has been an error.
- It can take a long while before Instagram responds.
- Click “OK” and wait until the expiration date.
Once unbanned, users will want to avoid suspicious activity so as not to be banned again.
In our experience, Instagram accounts that have multiple pages linked to them can easily trigger this ban. The error mentions using a service to help boost metrics, but this ban can be triggered easily without doing anything against the Terms of Service.
Sadly, to avoid seeing this message in the future, users will want to limit their activity within Instagram. This includes liking too many posts, following/unfollowing too many accounts, and leaving too many comments.
Hopefully Instagram improves its detection systems so that innocent users aren’t incorrectly banned. Presently, it’s very easy to trigger the ban with only a few hours of heavy Instagram use, which is a common length of time for anyone working in social media.
