I got banned on Instagram instantly after registration - why?

[Moshimitsu]

Well, I solved the issue by sending an email to the Instagram team with photo of me holding a paper with name and number they sent... It took maybe 1 or 2 hours. Since then, I use phone to browse and PC to upload and nothing more happened.

Oooh thanks for this quick reply! :'D
I'm looking through the help center and can't find any address to email instagram team though? There's this form but it won't load no matter what browser I try.
I can live without having an account on there, but it slightly bothers me that this happened. Might be an IP ban, tho if that's the case, I can't do much. If it's an anti-bot measure, it certainly isn't very successful since there are countless bots on insta doing just fine.

Well, that's probably anti-bot system as someone mentioned before. I don't remember exactly if I did have the same problem with form but the whole thing was still troublesome. I'm a nagger when something like this happens and at some point I just randomly try everything to work. Maybe try doing this via phone (may help, I tried it too) or incognito mode on browser.

Gram is gonna gram, you heard. XD... Social media can be a weird one. Example, I completely forget that I had an Amino account decided to make a new one with the same name...Well, I couldn't access my old one and my new one is boring me.

Oh no, that's the worst! I have similar problem: for every account I have I try to make different password as safety measurement and then I forget every one of them. It's kinda a running joke between my boyfriend and me now ^^

Let's face it. Using an account without password recovery is just too mainstream

It's either a glitch or they thought you were a bot/spammer.
