Want to know how I managed to grow my Instagram account, to over 288,000 followers and counting? Check out this article I wrote on How I Gained Over 100k Instagram Followers today. Set aside the fact that using bots is only going to attract a fake following, Instagram has also been clamping down on bot-usage and banning anyone who uses them – so be warned!

I understand that it can be quite difficult, time-consuming and draining when trying to build up an Instagram account from scratch, however, that’s not to say that you should start using unauthorised services to automate your account growth. The good news is that this issue is really easy to fix… Just stop! 🙂 Using Bots If they find out that you’re abusing Instagram’s features then they’re going to pull you up on it. The thing is that the Instagram gods will do everything in their power to make sure that their users are having the best possible experience on their platform. Okay, so this is one of the obvious points. Anyhow, here’s a list of them below… Spamming There may have been a number of reasons why you had your actions blocked in the first place, many of which may seem obvious in hindsight, but there may also be some things holding your account back that you may be totally unaware of. How To Avoid Getting The ‘Action Blocked’ Message… Again If after the 3 days you’ve tried to perform an action again, and you’re still getting the Action Blocked message then I would recommend leaving the platform alone for a full week instead (a further 4 days). That aside, I can’t guarantee that 3 days will be enough to earn back Instagram’s trust. Yes, that may suck, but it’s a lot better than receiving a permanent ban – which can happen!

This means no posting, liking, commenting, following or unfollowing for over 72 hours.

The length of the block really depends on the extent of your actions and the level of respect Instagram has for your account. Tell us if you think we made a mistake.” How To Resolve The ‘Action Blocked’ IssueĪs mentioned already, this block is only temporary and as such will revert back to normal after a certain amount of time. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. In more severe cases, you might find that all of the available actions have been blocked. For instance, if you were liking too many posts in a short amount of time, the platform would place a temporary block on your account to stop you from liking any more posts. The Action Block will temporarily prevent you from performing the specific action that was initially being abused.

The most common reason for the Action Blocked message is because you are spamming likes, comments, follows and even unfollows during a short space of time. The reason for receiving an ‘Action Blocked’ message on Instagram is usually because you are abusing the platform’s features and likely becoming a hindrance to others. Are you being left frustrated by a persistent warning message from Instagram telling you that your action has been blocked? Well, not to worry as I’ll be showing you the reason why you’re getting the message, how to resolve this issue and also how to avoid getting it again in the future.
