Hey guys! Let me break down everything about Instagram shadowbans - it's crazy how much has changed!
Y'all remember when Instagram kept denying shadowbans were real? For years they were like "Nah, it's not a thing!" Meanwhile, everyone's engagement was dropping like crazy, and we KNEW something was up. Well, finally they spilled the beans and admitted it's real!
How to Check if You're Shadowbanned
It's super easy now! Just:
1. Open Instagram
2. Hit those three lines in the top right
3. Scroll down to "Account Status"
4. Check if all your checkmarks are green
What Does Each Orange Check Mean?
1. Removed Content - Means you violated some rules. You can appeal but might take forever
2. Recommendation Restriction - This is the REAL shadowban! Your content won't show up in Explore or recommendations
3. Feed Demotion - Your posts are basically buried in followers' feeds
4. Monetization - Can't make money from your content
5. Limited Features - No commenting, liking, or going live
6. Collab Restrictions - Can't do collabs with other accounts
What If Appeals Don't Work?
Don't panic! Here's the tea - shadowbans (points 2 and 3) usually clear up in 3-5 days with the right approach, even if that removed content mark stays. And BTW, if you're stuck, hit up our support team at antiban.pro!
Bottom line: Instagram's finally being transparent about shadowbans, and while it's annoying, it's totally fixable!
