Diagnostic Assessment

Check the boxes below to calculate your risk

Select any symptoms or actions you experienced in the last 14 days to diagnose the root cause.

Check All That Apply:

Did you recently receive a Meta Community Guidelines or Account Status strike?

Check Settings -> Account Status in your Instagram app.

Have you used unofficial browser extensions, follower trackers, or scrapers?

Apps that require your raw Instagram password often trigger background IP throttling.

Have you been copying and pasting the exact same 30 hashtags on every post?

Repetitive hashtag blocks trigger spam filter detection.

Did you rapidly follow, unfollow, or bulk-DM hundreds of users manually?

High-frequency manual actions trigger temporary rate limits.

Did one of your recent Reels get muted due to audio copyright restrictions?

Muted audio kills algorithmic distribution on the Explore page.

Did you abruptly change your niche, posting language, or video format?

Confuses the recommendation engine and causes regular followers to swipe away quickly.

Immediate 4-Step Reach Recovery Protocol

1.Disconnect Unapproved Apps: Go to Settings âž” Apps and Websites, and immediately revoke access to all unofficial follower-tracking or scraping apps.
2.48-Hour Content Cool-Down: Take a 48-hour break from posting feed content to let automated spam rate-limit buckets reset completely.
3.Warm Up Stories First: Post 2 interactive Story polls (e.g. "Coffee or Tea?"). When active followers vote, it re-signals high affinity to the algorithm.
4.Only Use Official Meta Partner Tools: Use officially verified Meta Graph API tools like SendMeLink that follow approved rate limits.
