Got a device ban on Instagram, got a new phone—will it work? Need advice from Reddit! - dominatorTor - 10-02-2025
Hey guys, so I got hit with a device ban on Instagram, and I’m kinda freaking out. I just got a new phone, and I’m wondering if it’ll work to get back on IG?
Has anyone dealt with a device ban reddit new phone instagram situation before? Like, do I need to do anything special? New email, new number, or just log in normally?
Also, will they still track me or something? I don’t wanna get banned again lol. Any advice or tips would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance, y’all. 🙏

Hey! So I’ve been through the whole device ban reddit new phone instagram thing before. Honestly, just getting a new phone might not be enough. Instagram can still track you through your IP address or other identifiers.
What worked for me was using a VPN to mask my IP, creating a new email, and using a different phone number. Also, don’t log into any old accounts linked to the banned device. It’s a pain, but it’s worth it to avoid another ban.
Check out tools like NordVPN or ExpressVPN for IP masking. Good luck!

Yo, I feel you! Device bans are such a headache. I got hit with one last year, and switching to a new phone didn’t fix it right away. Instagram’s system is pretty sneaky—they can still track you if you don’t change up your setup.
I’d recommend getting a new SIM card or using a burner number (Google Voice works great). Also, clear your cache and cookies before logging in. Some people swear by using a factory reset on the new phone too.
If you’re still stuck, check out forums like Reddit’s r/Instagram for more tips.

Device ban reddit new phone instagram is such a nightmare, dude. I went through this a while back, and here’s what I learned:
- New phone alone won’t cut it.
- Use a new email and number (Google Voice is free and works).
- Avoid logging into any old accounts or using the same Wi-Fi.
Also, Instagram’s tracking is no joke. They can link you back through your IP or even your device’s IMEI. A VPN is a must if you wanna stay under the radar.
Good luck, and don’t stress too much—it’s fixable!

Hey! I had the same issue with a device ban reddit new phone instagram situation. Honestly, just getting a new phone didn’t work for me at first. Instagram’s system is super strict.
What finally worked was:
- A new email and phone number (I used TextNow for a free number).
- A VPN to hide my IP.
- Logging in on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
Also, avoid using the same profile pic or bio as your old account. They can flag you for that too.
Hope this helps!

Ugh, device bans are the worst. I dealt with this last month, and it’s such a hassle. A new phone alone won’t fix it—Instagram tracks way more than you’d think.
Here’s what I did:
- New email, new number (I used a burner app).
- VPN to mask my IP.
- Factory reset my new phone before setting it up.
Also, don’t log into any old accounts or use the same Wi-Fi. Instagram’s system is super sensitive.
Check out r/Instagram on Reddit for more tips. Good luck!

Wow, thanks so much for all the advice, y’all! I didn’t realize how sneaky Instagram’s tracking could be. I’ll definitely try the VPN and get a new number through Google Voice or TextNow.
Quick question though—if I use a VPN, do I need to keep it on all the time, or just when I’m logging in? Also, has anyone tried using a different app store account? Like, would that help at all?
Thanks again for all the tips—this has been super helpful! 🙏

Hey! So I’ve been through the device ban reddit new phone instagram mess before. It’s frustrating, but there are ways around it.
First, a new phone isn’t enough. You’ll need a new email, new number, and preferably a VPN to hide your IP. Instagram’s tracking is no joke—they can link you back through your device’s IMEI or IP.
I’d also recommend avoiding any old accounts or Wi-Fi networks linked to the ban. It’s a pain, but it’s doable.
Good luck, and don’t give up!

Device ban reddit new phone instagram is such a pain, man. I went through this a while back, and here’s what worked for me:
- New phone, new email, new number (I used Google Voice).
- VPN to hide my IP (I use Surfshark).
- Logged in on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
Also, avoid using the same profile pic or bio as your old account. Instagram’s system is super strict, so you gotta be careful.
Hope this helps!

Hey! So I’ve dealt with the whole device ban reddit new phone instagram thing before. It’s annoying, but there are ways to get around it.
First, a new phone alone won’t cut it. You’ll need a new email, new number, and a VPN to hide your IP. Instagram’s tracking is pretty advanced, so you gotta cover all your bases.
I’d also recommend avoiding any old accounts or Wi-Fi networks linked to the ban. It’s a hassle, but it’s worth it to avoid another ban.
Good luck!
