Why You Are Blocked From Following On Instagram?


Whether you are simply holding an account on Instagram to connect with your friends and relatives or having a business page to promote your products and services, it takes a lot of efforts to build a good and attractive Instagram page with lots of followers. But what if when you wake up one day and realize that Instagram is not allowing you to perform some activities like following. It can be the biggest nightmare for anybody. So, if you have ever faced this issue or still facing the one, then it is very necessary to know the reason behind this strict action of Instagram. Let’s check out what kind of activities can get your account blocked.

You have followed people on bulk 


There are so many people who do not aware of the new algorithm of Instagram and in order to increase the visibility of their account, they follow a huge number of people at a time. But the problem is that when you perform this action without taking any pause then Instagram considers it as a bot activity and blocks your account from further following.

However, there are also some people who use third party tools for buying followers and give Instagram a reason to ban their account temporarily and sometimes permanently.

You have posted too frequently


Posting regularly no doubt is the best technique to keep your account active and engage your followers. But it does not mean that you can post as much as you want. There is a certain limitation to that. But the thing is nobody knows how many publications are allowed to make in a day. Even the marketers don’t have any idea about it. So, if you are blocked from following on Instagram then you might have suspected as a spammer by posting in bulk or posting the same content on multiple accounts at the same time. 

You have violated the rules 


Instagram doesn't allow its users to post the inappropriate picture or a video related to violence and other things that give the wrong message to the people. So if you have mistakenly posted any of such content on your account then it can be the reason behind the blocking of your Instagram account. 

You have accessed your account from different device and IP address


If you have used different IP addresses and devices for logging in to your account then Instagram thinks that your account has been hacked by a spammer and takes the instant action by blocking you to perform certain activities, for example, following, liking, posting, etc. 

You have breached the copyright terms


Instagram gives very much importance to the copyright issue. So in any case you have used the pictures or videos of other users without taking their permission or tagging them on your posts then it is a big deal on Instagram. In such cases either your posts are removed or your accounts get banned. 

Hence, we hope that by reading this article you can now understand the algorithm of Instagram and what makes it block your account.
