Threads restricted your profile

Steps

1. Check Instagram.
2. Appeal on Instagram if needed.
3. Otherwise request a review in Threads.

Route for this notice

The route for this notice, the checklist and the common questions are below.

1. Check whether the action is on Threads only or on your Instagram account as well.
2. If Instagram works and only Threads shows a notice, open the Threads app, tap the notice and use its appeal option.
3. If Instagram is disabled or hacked, recover Instagram first; Threads follows it.
4. For posting limits, check the notice for an end date and wait it out rather than posting the same content again.
5. A Threads profile you deactivated comes back when you log in again through Instagram.
6. Check Account Status in Instagram too, since some Threads actions are listed there.
7. Update the Threads and Instagram apps; old versions sometimes hide the appeal option.

Checklist

• Any emails from Instagram about changes to the account.
• A note of when the problem started and anything you posted just before.
• Links to the Threads posts involved.
• Screenshots of the Threads notice.
• Your Instagram username, since Threads uses the same login.

Writing the request

• Say which post was affected and why you think it was misread, briefly.
• If the account was used by someone else, say so.
• Mention that Instagram is unaffected, if that is true, so it is clear only Threads is in question.

Do not

• Making another Instagram account just to reopen Threads.
• Reposting removed content.
• Using automation tools that post for you.
• Mass following or replying with the same text, which can trigger limits.

After the request

• Look for the result in the Threads app and in your email.
• If a limit ends, post normally for a while before posting anything similar to what was flagged.
• Check your Instagram email for any messages that cover both apps.
• If Instagram had to be recovered, check Threads settings and recent posts once you are back.

Next options

• Both Threads and Instagram are gone.
• The Threads appeal was refused and Instagram is fine.
• Threads and Instagram show different decisions and you are not sure which to appeal.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
