BAM, you’ve just seen the ‘action blocked’ or ‘you’re temporarily blocked’ message on Instagram after using it for a while.
The message says something along the lines of, “This action was blocked. Please try again later. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. Tell us if you think we made a mistake”.
Most people have seen this message on Instagram and it can be disheartening to find out that Instagram has just blocked your actions

What does Action Blocked on Instagram?
The action blocked message means that Instagram has blocked you from either following, liking, commenting, or direct messaging people.
You have spammed this action too much, so Instagram think you’re a bot, therefore, they have temporarily banned you from completing this action since it’s against their guidelines.
Why has my Action Been Blocked on Instagram?
- You’ve been following or unfollowing too many people
- You have commented the same thing under too many pictures
- You’ve been liking too many pictures in a short space of time
- You’ve been messaging too many accounts recently
- You’re using a third-party app to complete certain actions on Instagram
- You’ve been using a bot to automate your liking, following/unfollowing, or commenting
If you’ve been blocked by Instagram, I’m sure that you recognise one of these actions.
If not, you can contact Instagram and tell them that they’ve blocked your actions by mistake.
1. Use Another Device and Switch to Data
Since your IP address has been blocked by Instagram, this means that your best bet would be to switch to a different device and use data instead of WIFI.
When Instagram blocks you, they don’t block your account, they block your IP address.
Every device using the Internet has two IP addresses: a public and a private one.
In your home, your router uses your public IP address—assigned by your ISP to connect to the Internet.
On your mobile device, you have a public IP address.
So, if you use data and switch to a different device, your actions would be unblocked because you’re not associated with the blocked IP addresses anymore.
2. Wait for 24 Hours
Instagram usually only blocks you for 24 hours, sometimes even less.
In my experience, I was blocked for a few hours, so you may not even have to wait for the full 24 hours.
One of Instagram’s main priority is to block out spam and bots so that other accounts can be protected.
So, you’ll need to show Instagram that you can restrict this behaviour for a few hours before they can unblock you again.
Once you come back to Instagram in 24 hours after pretty much only being able to view pictures and do nothing else, you’ll finally be able to like, follow/unfollow, message and comment on people pictures.
3. Delete Third-Party Apps
If you’re using a third-party app, you’ll need to uninstall it right away.
The ‘unfollowing non-followers’ apps seem to be a very popular third-party app within the Instagram community.
There are also apps that credit your pictures with likes as long as you buy coins – if you’re guilty of having this, you’ll need to uninstall it.
Many apps that use Instagram API usually don’t restrict their users from abusing the features on the apps, therefore, these apps are usually the reason you’re going to get certain actions blocked by Instagram.
4. Link Instagram Account with Facebook
Since Instagram thinks that you’re a bot, you’re going to have to prove to them that you’re a genuine person by linking to another social media account such as your Facebook account.
This adds credibility therefore, there’s a very high chance that Instagram will unblock you within the 24 hours.
To link your Instagram to your Facebook:
- Tap on the 3 lines on your profile
- Tap on settings
- Scroll down to linked accounts
- Select Facebook and sign in
After you’ve done this, you need to close the app and restart your device so that the changes can be implemented.
After you’ve done this, you should be able to use Instagram just like you did before.
How to Avoid Getting Blocked by Instagram
So, I’ve shown you how to get your action unblocked on Instagram, now I’m going to show you how to avoid getting blocked by Instagram so that this doesn’t happen.
1. Don’t Use Bots or Third-Party Apps
Instagram is strict on too many actions being completed by one account.
Bots can perform actions very quickly which means that it gets noticed by Instagram because of the unnaturally quick actions.
Therefore, if you’re using a bot, you should either set the actions to be completed slowly – this will look natural to Instagram.
2. Stop Completing so Many Actions
If you’ve been the one over using Instagram to follow people or like pictures, for example, you’ll need to reduce your actions.
Don’t follow more than 60 people in a certain hour and restrict the number of pictures you like in a certain hour.

Mines been action blocked from adding anyone for a week now…doesn’t say either when I’ll be unblocked or anything. Reported this 5-6 times via their help centre. Anyone know what’s happening with this as it seems to be occurring to multiple people?
Hi guys just an update from my comment a few down from this one, i waited 2 weeks today to get the action block removed and it’s finally been removed. So i guess anyone that’s waited over a week it looks like it’s gunna be a 2 week block. I’d still report issue via the app as this is what I did too around 6 times. Take care people
And it won’t even tell me for how long
it’s been more than a week for me now..any updates on yours?
Same here dude
Same
Any news? Same here
Been blocked since June 5th. I can like and DM but won’t let me follow:/ I’ve deleted the app twice and connected to Facebook and even didn’t go on for two days and nothing is helping
Did you ever get unblocked?
I’ve been action blocked temporarily for days they keep saying until tomorrow but once the date is up i like an image and it says action blocked temporarily again. I’ve reported several times now to instagram about this issue and nothing happened. it’s getting really annoying to my last nerve.
Literally same
this has been happening to me too
That’s what it said for me
the same applied to my account bro
Same! Is there a solution?!
Same bruh idk what to do ?
I can leave the. App after scrolling and liking a few posts leave it for a few hours come back like one image after several hours and get blocked while checking the artists story since I like to keep up with their comic I hadn’t even spam liked much before I took my several hour break to watch an old tv show and read. Supposedly I like Pam when reading comics I like from the beginning when I find them but that’s unavoidable Tbh for most fans who are reading comics by artists on insta
The exact same is happening with me, I’ve been blocked from following people for like 2/3 days now
Did it fix??
Literally same. I’ve been blocked from following people for 6 days now
Same

Log in your Instagram account with your Facebook account. It works.

Same here maybe because of the last update I hope they will fix it soon!
I’ve been blocked from following people for 4 days now. How can I fix this? Feels really bad… ?
Many accounts have exactly the same problem at the moment. I hope it’s just a problem with the last update on IG

No fix yet also the new update didn’t help :S

I have a suspicion that a “troll” who didn’t like that I blocked him/her, is reporting my account. Could this have an effect on actions blocked? To be clear I am a person (not a bot) I post weekly, and don’t like Trump (what troll and I where discussing; except all he/she had to say was that I’m ignorant); which is why I blocked him/her.
Has it gone back to normal for you? Or still nothing
Ignorant
OMG IT WORKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH I REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO START OVER
How did you do it. My action blocked says it going to expire today but never got the chance to go away. It said that last night as well

Hi please help
I haven’t done anything you have listed above
I posted a pic put a caption and some hashtags none of which I can think would have violated instas policy and it keeps saying I’ve put a link in…but I haven’t
I only a have a few windows of opportunity to go through instagram, so yeah I might like a few pictures all in a short period of time. But I can’t be on the gram 24/7.
I were connected to fb already but the problem is the message that shows based on previous use of this feature, your account has been temporarily blocked from taking this action
This is a joke. I have a highly engaged community and try to comment and like most of their posts genuinely. Now we are being punished for what Instagram actually wants us to do – which is to engage? Ridiculous…
Interesting I am blocked on Android mobile phone but can like photos using Windows 10 / Google Chrome desktop application.

Download a vpn in ur phone and change ur location it will work.
I can’t describe my pictures on Instagram but I can do everything else!
So, I got blocked from liking pictures despite not knowingly breaching anything from Guidelines of IG. No excessive likes or follows nor unfollows, no spamming, no DM spam… I actually restricted my activities in last couple days… I couple times reported nudity, yet they always write me, that it is not against policy and now I do not do anything and I get blocked? Can it be a bug?

Try this https://instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/permanent/ delete your account you can’t use it for an hour, just go back after a few hours then that’ll work.

2. Tap select edit profile.
3. Scroll down, then tap or click ‘Temporarily disable my account’ in the bottom right.
4. Then, it will ask you, “why are you disabling your account? And, you re-enter your password.
5. Then, tap or click Temporarily Disable Account.
I waited for at least a day. And, the next day i sign-in my ig but to my surprised, when i click ‘likes’ to my follower posting. That message (action was blocked and bla bla bla) note still appeared. I decided to wait for a few hours and sign in again. Bam! All back to normal and good.
Give it a try.

I’ve tried following and it gives the message which is the only way I know if it’s lifted or not.
I’ve reported a problem and clicked Tell Us many times. I don’t know what to do! I’ve been blocked for 5 days so far from following.
a lot of users got the same issue exactly the same day, so I hope it’s a problem that will be solved soon in an Update

I have the exact same problem since 8 days now
Have you tried not using your account and is it still happening?
no. actually I try to see if the problem is fixed several times a day. do you think I should stop using the account for some time? like logging out, not do anything at all with it?
me too, probably it’s a bug from instagram and they don’t want to fix it in next update?
Same here, did you find a solution?
l am blocked for about 8 days untill now. any one can fix it?
so many people has blocked action like me from 4h june but the internet don’t writing about it, i don’t see the news about it. why? can instagram finally fix it?
Thats what I thought! I literally have been blocked since june 4th too. I thought I was the only one but I am seeing so many people saying they are blocked too. I have complained to Instagram so many times and tried everything. No help. Did you find anything out?
no 🙁 i am still blocked by instagram. i think it’s a bug from instagram but they don’t want to fix it. moreover, the internet don’t writing any news about this problem…
Why has my Action Been Blocked on Instagram?
I Have the same problem blocked for about 8 days … until now ..
are you still blocked?
Same here. 8 days of Follow Action block. I have had action blocks before but they never were more then a day. Algorithms are controlling our life, bad algorithms!
same same same! but i think it’s a very big bug and instagram don’t want to fix it. idk why. moreover, the internet don’t writing news about this problem.
yep from 4th of june same here
My instagram blocked
Hey! It’s been more than a week since the “action blocked” message appears to me every time I try to follow someone. Does anyone know if it’s because of the update ? I don’t know what to do. I thought maybe I’m forever blocked from the app? I hope not because I worked so hard to build my IG …
me too and i’m really worried. but i don’t think so it’s update, because i’m not update instagram. now i’m updated but it’s still don’t working. it’s a horrible bug
Anyone find a solution? This is really ridiculous. Even the new IG updates have not helped at all. I contacted IG so many times.
me too but they don’t reading. it’s a big bug and they don’t want to fix it/. i don’t know why
same here from 4th june im blocked…
I have 5 accounts that I manage, 3 are blocked from following and 2 are working perfectly. all are running the latest update.
It does not make sense to me how 3 can be blocked and 2 are fine.
same, i have 3-4 accs and the only one, for me the most important, account have the stupid action blocked
Yeah, I have 2 accounts and only one has the issue. Really weird and its been really long for IG to not fix it by now. I’m honestly sooo desperate for someone to find a solution and share it because this is really hurting my business by not being able to collab.
me too! i dont know what i have to do 🙁
Still blocked 9 days later, when will this end :/
Is everyone reporting to Instagram?
i think yes, but who know…
Since 4th of june i am blocked of following back.
How long should i still wait?
My account is blocked from following for a week, it’s the first time I’ve ever been blocked, How can I unblock this? none of these work for me, any way to contact instagram support???
they deleted their e-mail, only by “help centre” but it don’t work
I do not fall into any of the categories, did not do any of those behaviors – linked to FB, no 3rd party app, follow140 and have 49 followers, posted selfies maybe once a wk and like pics of dogs and food that I follow. This is ridiculous! I have tried to contact IG to let them know this is an error…no response! Ridiculous! But yet, I receive the SCAM profiles from military widowed contractors abroad looking for a wife and IG cant stop that to my private acct!!! ??
I have been action blocked by Instagram done nothing I pressed tell us feel quite annoyed i still managed to post my photo but no like it
but u cant following?
Plz help me I have been action blocked by Instagram last 10 days ?
This is day 3 for me. Not allowed to follow (I can like unfollow and I haven’t tried DM’ing anyone cause I normally don’t).
Since so many people are posting this, I think it’s a bug.
Should I write to IG? Any word about when this will be fixed?
i writing everyday but its not help
i think they fixed it
no, they didnt fix it
I have been blocked from following people for 11 days now and it’s making me so sad as it’s an account for my dogs @the_three_fluffeteers and nothing seems to be the same anymore 🙁
I have also tried all of the above
I have been facing this problem from 2 weeks. I waited for 10 days, but after 10 days when I was trying to like feeds.. its again showing action blocked. Please help.
It has took one month already.
I’m still blocked, have completed these actions and waited 24 hours ☹️
WHEN INSATAGRAM WILL FIX THIS STUPID PROBLEM OF ACTION BLOCKED FROM FOLLOWING AND UNFOLLOWING!??!?!
They sahy one should wait until Wednesday. Let me know if it worked for you next Wednesday.
who said that?
I read it in an article. Dont do anything until Wednesday.tell me then what happens. Okay?
what’s article? where?
The block will be 2 to 3 weeks.. sometimes 6. This is the NEW algorithm.
so, action blocked will down in 4th july?
The stress. The fear. The inconvenience. All because of this account block. When my friend Jamil recommended me to you… I was sceptical even with your portfolio there are some scammers. The service i recieved from @technician.ig was phenomenal. Professional, Quick and Clean. At a fair price. He is your go to for account blocks no question about it. God bless.
I can’t send direct message to any one pls help me
Been blocked from using direct message more Than a week nw
Non of those methods work
I got this message on 8th june…I didn’t do anything.. Still not yet solved.. Please help..
Man this was terrible!! I had to pay someone £20 to get it unblocked for me after 2 weeks of waiting ?
I’m considering this, it’s been 11 days for me. Where did you pay for service
Person Instagram is: Technician.ig
Where should I look for him? On Google?
I think it’s fake.
How die you find someone to pay for him?
Person Instagram is: Technician.ig
He doesnt seem reliable with no info
i think it’s fake and if anyone will pay they will lost their accs
Hey, it’s fine, didn’t give him access to my account what’s so ever
I feel the same way? I don’t know how reliable it is because he has no info and only 2 people have said it works… I’m just scared that if he can fix without even getting a login I’m sure he has some type of power to access account maybe.
Is he trust worthy?
He fixed mine
I didn’t ask for my login details
He didn’t ask for my login details
So what are you doing?
I don’t know what he did but mine is working now!
I can’t follow since June 4th. Someone please help.
You messaged him or what??
I tried all your suggestions and am still blocked from 4 of my 5 ig accounts. Any ideas? Any way to tell when I’ll be unblocked?
I’ve been blocked for the last 5 days I did all the steps but nothing happend what else should I do??
hi this blocked that i have itifrom 5 day a low how can i fix it guys?
I need my Instagram back, i cant follow and unfollow from 4th june. Any ideas?
Same here also since 4th of June, other profiles already got unblocked :S
Really? When they are got unblocked?
The profile of some friends got unblocked last Friday, after Instagram was down for a while. Unfortunately it was random so I have no clue what we can do to get unblocked quicker.
wow… gosh, I have no idea too :/
I don’t understand why it blocked me. Tried to read the article but still don’t get it, anyway I have just logged out and uninstalled the app because I am so annoyed right now, it’s unreasonable what they did.
I’m trying to add a new aaccount to my Instagram. I’ve done this a lot bit have recently not had more than 1 account. It says I’m blocked but it’s been days since I’ve tried to add a new account.
Actually it didn’t work, I logged out from my device and loged in with another device but It is still block.what should I do?
I’m having the same issue with being blocked from liking anything
Any Update anyone??
No, they “fixing the bugs” but not this problem
hi, thanks for your article. I tried all the ways that you have suggested but none of them worked. follow and unfollow action of my page has been blocked for two weeks and I dont know what to do. I think that my page was blocked for a short while before that but I didnt pay attention to that because I didnt know that and after that I became blocked again.
please help me.
I cant follow anyone since the 4th of june.. Instagram will lose so many people…really disappointed…
Same here, the boss of Instagram is sad because S. Gomez deleted the app from her mobile – but he don’t want fix this bug and I don’t know why – it’s tragic
i can not follow people since a couple of weeks please help me
I got unblocked after 2 weeks, I followed the new guidelines of 40 follows per hour and no more than 800 a day. My first day being unblocked and I followed around 300 people all spaced out following the limits. I have just been blocked again…. wtf?
so, you are now blocked? but before not?
the new limit is 6000 follow a month. 300 a day is too much for the new limit. The reason why you got blocked at the beginning is because you probably went over 6000 follow for the past 30 days. After you got unblocked, you should wait for a few days before you start follow again, but never do it more than 200/day.
I’ve been blocked for weeks now ?
My action expired 19/06/19 went on it today 20th still cant get on !Changed password, deleted app and still nothing and I have reported it and no reply. Won’t let me link to fb .To scared to log out as I can’t remember if a need an email address as I have forgotten it Please help

Same, please, help. I have this block from 4th june and i can’t follow expect some famous people like cristiano
I un-followed lots of people recently, so I know why I have been blocked, but it has been about 2 weeks that I can not follow anyone.
I reported to IG, and followed all the steps in this article, but I can’t seem to start following people.
I don’t seem to have a problem with posting and liking.
I will try my best to help resolve your issues – message on Instagram
I can’t dm you on Instagram.. You have it private

Hi,
I have been blocked on Instagram! It does not let me to follow people. I have messaged IG, but not response yet! Can some one help me please ?
Thank you
Zivile
Woke up to my account unblocked thank you technician.ig ?
Eniky, it’s fair?
How much u pay?
Please tell me also
Paid £20, worth it imo it was driving my crazy
He want 20 euro and I think it’s not legal, probably Instagram will block forever accounts who used his “help”
Paid him too and my ban came off today. Adam why do you think it’s not legal? He contacted support for me so I think it’s legal
Because he want money and I read some messages from people who don’t have “action blocked” for now. But they didn’t even pay and written to him.
Mine fixed too. Paid £20
technician.ig helped me as well
I can’t follow anyone it shows me the message “action blocked..” I’ve also done all the steps and nothing happened what else should I do???
Read a lot of people got their account working because of technician.ig but wasn’t free, I’m tempted to just pay waiting is so long
Hi there, I need help, how can I contact you directly?
thanks
UPDATE: my action block is gone after 20 days! I can now follow people!
me too! it’s was a bug
Hello, I’ve been blocked, I can’t follow others and please check my account and remove that block.
After not hearing from Instagram for 3 weeks I paid @technician.ig €23 to help fix my account and he really pulled through for me. I blindly trusted him after reading other people’s reviews on here and on other articles and it really did pay off. Thank you very much @technician.ig I honestly can’t thank you enough! X
I can’t send follow requests through my account since day 1 ? It’s been 3 weeks already now since it’s the same. Can you help please ?
I cant follow anyone since the fourth of June. It’s three weeks today…what should I do ? Is it the new rule for 6000 follows per month ? I think it will never allow me to follow again..
So you payed him?
My ig is still blocked since 3 weeks.
Technician.ig im trying to contact you with my second profile tuof_19 since my main account is blocked from following. If someone can help me please contact me at my second profile tuof_19

My account has been blocked for 10 days now due to IG thinks I follow unfollow in short amount of time. I reported multiple times, stop using third party apps, stop following excessively, and did every single step above. Yet it doesn’t help at all. When will this going to end?

I had this same thing happen, and it eventually went away after three weeks. Here is my first-hand account of what happens and what you can do (you’ll have to fix the URL because this site’s filters blocks links): http:// wanderinghikers. com/what-to-do-when-instagram-has-action-blocked-your-account/
I have action block for no reason for like week now and i keep contacting instagram, they do nothing.
My account was action blocked by IG. Waited for a week, nothing. Tried everything; change connection, link to facebook, EVERYTHING, yet nothing worked. Eventually I waited for a month, thought maybe it’d be lifted, but nope, still couldn’t follow anyone. I read a lot of people said technician.ig helps unblocking account, didn’t believe it at first but I was desperate. DM-ed the guy, and he legit managed to lift the block in less than a week. I’m so so so glad I found him. If your account is still blocked, look for technician.ig in instagram. DM him, he replies fairly fast and he’ll get it done as soon as he can.
Same problem sir what can I do ?
Please help me sir…
Hey, I have the same problem as you. I tried to find the technician.ig account but I couldn’t.. is this the right name account?
