How can I unlock my Instagram account?

Why did my Instagram account get locked?

An Instagram account is automatically locked whenever Instagram believes a user has breached its community guidelines. To create the best user experience, Instagram prohibits the use of most third-party apps. It will block any account displaying bot-like behavior or an account that exhibits irregular activity.

How long does Instagram temporarily lock your account?

Usually, the duration of a temporary Instagram ban ranges from few hours to 24-48 hours. The duration of ban also depends on your follow up actions. If you would continue doing the wrong actions, the ban may prolong. So if it’s your first time with a temporary ban, you better start behaving.
