My Instagram name is @_all_things_real_ and I had a base of 27.5k followers. I have been so much loyal to Instagram since I started out about 5 years ago. This Saturday when I tried to check my notifications, I discovered that my account was deleted without a warning.
I was literally shocked because I have not violated any guidelines. My mom and I was going through the Internet like crazies trying to find a reason why Instagram deactivated my account.
Then I realized something! People have been abusing the "report" button. I built my profile from scratch and it obviously affects my career as a blogger. Instagram doesn't even have an email address or something. I contacted them saying it was a mistake, have not heard from them since.
I am so heartbroken right now. I can't fathom the thought of my blood sweat going to hell. All those hours of work I put in my posts! This is just so disappointing.
When Instagram gives everyone the power to abuse the report button, I guess this was bound to happen.
I have no clue what to do next. I won't even bother starting a new page because I just feel dead disappointed right now.
Some of my friends said Instagram was facing a bug issue where people's profiles are getting deleted without a reason. That maybe the case but at least give us some kind of a warning! Or a quick resolve. When fellow competitors are so bitter with hatred, the report button suddenly becomes a weapon.
Something similar happened with my friends account too, she hasn't been able to get it back. God knows what will happen next. My faith on INSTAGRAM is totally shook.
I never violated a single Instagram rule! I always posted my beauty blog pictures or my personal selfies. See for yourself.
I request Instagram to give me my account back.
I didn't have a Facebook page, so my account was personal and not a business one. I participated in few giveaways and sweepstakes and I think my competitors reported against me. That is so vile. I even blocked certain spam accounts to prevent them from spamming my feed. But still, how can Instagram discard my hard work like it was nothing?
Let's see what happens.
Let's see what happens.
Update : after several emails I recovered my account 24 hours later
I'm so so heartbroken and sorry for you. I completely understand what you must have felt... Instagram is going crazy 😣😣😣😣
