I have an Instagram restriction that prohibits me from posting reels.

What can I do? Im an new community page , that shares dance and zumba videos from all over the world

Short summary:

  1. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and go to your profile.
  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the screen to access the menu.
  3. Tap on "Settings" at the bottom of the menu.
  4. Scroll down and tap on "Help" and then tap on "Report a problem".
  5. Describe the issue you are facing with posting reels in the provided form. Be sure to mention that you have already received a restriction message and have waited for over a week.
  6. Submit the report.
  7. Since you have already reported the problem previously and haven't received a response, it's recommended to be patient and wait for the restriction to be lifted.

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Tell me please, did you get some messages from Instagram regarding these restrictions?

Thank you! I also wrote to them through 'reporting a problem' several times.

If you received a message saying "Try again later. We restrict certain activity to protect our community" on Instagram, it's possible that your account has been flagged for violating Instagram's policies. This restriction is usually temporary and is meant to prevent users from engaging in activities that could harm other users or violate Instagram's guidelines.

That I know.
But still, its been over a week!
I also checked, and it didn't report that I violated the community guidelines.

I understand your emotions. Sometimes Instagram's rules are strange.
If you still encounter the same message or are unable to perform the restricted activity, then the restriction is still in place. In this case, you may need to wait a bit longer for the restriction to be lifted.
Tell me please, how did you contact them regarding this issue?

Customer Replay

Wrote to their support

And you didn't get any response?

Customer Replay

That's right

As those restrictions are temporary but the period is unknown, you need to wait or report the problem one more time in this case. Do you want me to help with reporting this problem?

Customer Replay

Yeah, need all the help I can get😑

Did that already with them
It doesnt help

I see.
Then the only thing you can do is wait for these restrictions to wear off.
