If you’ve encountered a restriction on Instagram preventing you from visiting more profiles, it’s typically due to excessive visits from your account.
When Instagram notices that you’re visiting a lot of profiles in a short timeframe, it can block your IP address, resulting in a temporary restriction (usually for 24 hours). Here’s how you can address this issue:
Steps to Resolve Instagram Restrictions
1️⃣ Switch to a Different Instagram Account
- Log out of your account and log in with a different Instagram account. This can help you continue browsing without being affected by the restriction on your primary account.
2️⃣ Try a Different Device
- You can Access Instagram from another device, which can help you bypass the restrictions tied to your original device.
3️⃣ Use a VPN to Change Your IP Address
- Activate a VPN and select a server in a different country. This will assign you a new IP address. You may use any free VPN for this.
4️⃣ Switch Browsers and Clear Cookies and Cache
- Open a different web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
- Clear your browser’s cookies and cache to ensure old data doesn’t affect your browsing.
Additional Tips
Wait 24 Hours: Instagram’s restrictions usually reset after 24 hours. If the solutions above don’t fix the issue immediately, waiting for the restriction period to end is another viable option.
Moderate Your Activity: To avoid future restrictions, try to limit the number of profiles you visit in a short period.
If you continue to face issues, it might be a more serious block, so you might need to wait longer and contact Instagram support.
