Has anyone successfully dealt with an Instagram device ban and found a reliable Reddit backup solution? - CoverByte77 - 10-01-2025
Yo, so I’ve been hit with this *instagram device ban* nonsense and it’s driving me nuts. Like, I can’t even log in on my phone anymore. Anyone else dealt with this crap?
I’ve been scouring Reddit for solutions, and honestly, it’s a mess. Some say factory reset works, others swear by VPNs, but idk, feels like a gamble.
Also, while I’m at it, anyone got a solid *reddit backup* plan? Like, I don’t wanna lose my memes and convos if this happens again. I’ve seen some threads about exporting data, but it’s all so confusing.
Pls help a bro out. I’m tired of this *instagram device ban reddit backup* rabbit hole. What actually works? Drop your tips below! 🙏

yo bro, i feel you. instagram device ban is such a pain. i got hit with it last month and tried the factory reset thing—didn’t work for me.
what DID work was using a VPN (i used NordVPN) and logging in from a different device first. then i slowly switched back to my phone. took a few days but it worked.
as for reddit backup, i use “reddit save” extension to save posts and comments. it’s not perfect but better than nothing. good luck man!

Hey! I’ve been through the instagram device ban mess too. Honestly, VPNs are hit or miss. I tried ExpressVPN and it worked for a bit, but then IG caught on.
What finally helped was contacting Instagram support directly through the app. Took a while, but they lifted the ban after I verified my identity.
For reddit backup, check out “Reddit Manager” on GitHub. It lets you export your data easily. Not the most user-friendly, but it gets the job done.

ugh, instagram device ban is the worst. i tried everything—factory reset, VPNs, even buying a new phone lol. nothing worked until i used a friend’s phone to log in and then switched back to mine.
for reddit backup, i just screenshot my fav memes and convos. old school but it works. also, there’s a tool called “reddit backup tool” that exports everything to a file. worth checking out!

dude, same boat here. instagram device ban is so annoying. i tried using a VPN (Surfshark) and it worked for a while, but then IG blocked me again.
what finally worked was creating a new account and slowly migrating my stuff over. not ideal, but better than nothing.
for reddit backup, i use “Pushshift” to save my posts and comments. it’s a bit technical but super reliable. hope this helps!

hey! i’ve been dealing with the instagram device ban nonsense too. honestly, the factory reset thing is a myth—didn’t work for me at all.
what worked was using a different IP address (i used a mobile hotspot) and logging in from a laptop first. then i switched back to my phone.
for reddit backup, i recommend “Reddit Export” tool. it’s free and saves everything in a neat file. good luck!

yo, instagram device ban is such a headache. i tried VPNs and they worked for a bit, but IG caught on quick.
what finally worked was logging in from a browser (not the app) and then switching back to my phone. took a few tries but it worked.
for reddit backup, i just use the “save” feature and organize everything into folders. not perfect but it’s something.

yo thanks for all the tips y’all! i tried the VPN thing (used NordVPN) and it worked for a bit, but then IG blocked me again. gonna try logging in from a browser like some of you suggested.
also, big shoutout for the reddit backup tool recs. i downloaded Reddit Export and it’s saving my memes and convos rn. still figuring it out but it’s way better than nothing.
anyone know if IG support actually responds? i sent them a message but no reply yet. thanks again fam!

hey man, i feel your pain. instagram device ban is brutal. i tried everything—VPNs, factory reset, even buying a new SIM card.
what finally worked was using a different device to log in and then slowly switching back to my phone. took a week but it worked.
for reddit backup, i use “Reddit Backup Tool” to export my data. it’s a bit clunky but gets the job done. hope this helps!
