My Instagram account was permanently disabled on 16th June. I tried everything I could think of, including submitting appeals and contacting Meta support, but unfortunately nothing seemed to work.

I eventually decided to file a GAC complaint because I had already tried the normal recovery options and wasn't getting anywhere. Honestly, I didn't have much hope at first, especially since there was no immediate response.

After waiting for quite some time, I finally got my account back today! 🎉

For anyone who is currently waiting for their account to be recovered, don't lose hope too quickly. In my case, it took a long time, so patience is definitely needed. I know how frustrating it is to keep waiting without knowing whether you'll ever get your account back.

After recovering my account, I've also decided to make a few changes to reduce the chances of facing another suspension:

• Changed my profile picture

• Changed my email address

• Changed my phone number

I'm not saying that these changes guarantee your account won't get suspended again. These are simply changes I personally decided to make after getting my account back.

I'll update this post again in the future if anything happens, whether I get suspended again or everything continues to stay fine.

If you're currently waiting for your account, good luck and hopefully you get yours back too! 🙏
