Has anyone gotten a device ban on Instagram or Reddit? How did you fix it? or Device ban on Instagram - maskedJumpX77 - 02-12-2024

"Got a device ban on Instagram and Reddit? Any fixes?"

Yo, so I think my phone got hit with a device ban on instagram and reddit. Can’t log in no matter what I try—new accounts get insta-blocked too.

Anyone else deal with this? How’d you get around it?

Heard stuff like factory resetting or changing IMEI works, but that sounds sketch. Also, do these bans even expire?

Pls help, this is so annoying lol.

(Also, if you’ve appealed successfully, lmk how!)

Damn, device ban instagram reddit is the worst. Had the same issue last month.

Try using a VPN + clearing app data/cache. Sometimes it’s just a temp IP ban.

Also, if you’re on Android, try cloning the app with something like Parallel Space. Works for some ppl.

No need for sketchy IMEI stuff lol.

Bro, device bans are brutal. I got hit too.

What worked for me:
- Factory reset (annoying but it worked)
- New Google/Apple ID
- Different SIM card

Heard some ppl say bans lift after 30-90 days but no guarantees.

Try appealing to Instagram/Reddit support if you haven’t already.

Ugh, device ban instagram reddit is such a pain.

If you’re tech-savvy, try spoofing your device ID (not IMEI). Tools like Device ID Changer *might* help, but it’s risky.

Otherwise, just use an old phone or borrow one.

Bans *can* expire, but it’s random.

Hey! Had this happen before.

Try logging in from a browser first (not the app). Sometimes the ban is app-specific.

If that fails, use a different device entirely.

Also, check out forums like r/Instagram or r/RedditHelp—lots of fixes there.

Device ban instagram reddit is usually tied to your device ID.

Try these:
- Use a PC/laptop to create new accounts
- Mobile hotspot instead of home WiFi
- Wait a few weeks before trying again

Factory reset is a last resort tbh.

Lol same thing happened to me.

Insta and Reddit bans are wild.

Try this:
1. Uninstall the apps
2. Reinstall after a few days
3. Use a new email + VPN

Worked for me, but YMMV.

Yo, device ban instagram reddit is no joke.

If you’re desperate, try a tool like iMyFone AnyTo to change your location.

Otherwise, just wait it out. Bans *usually* don’t last forever.

Also, avoid sketchy methods—IMEI stuff can brick your phone.

Thanks for all the tips, guys!

Tried the VPN + browser trick and it kinda worked? Still can’t use the app tho.

Gonna wait a week and see if the device ban instagram reddit lifts.

If not, might borrow a friend’s phone lol.

Appreciate the help!
