Instagram frequently limits accounts that perform too many actions (like, follow, comment) in a short period. If you’ve received an “Action Blocked” message or can’t like or follow, you’re not alone! Here’s how to fix and prevent Instagram like/follow blocks in 2025.

1. Why Did You Get Blocked?

• Liking, following, or commenting too fast or too often
• Using third-party apps, bots, or automation tools
• Repeating the same action or message
• Your account is too new or incomplete
• Too many actions from a single IP address

2. How Long Does an Instagram Block Last?

• Temporary blocks: Usually 24-48 hours
• Repeat offenses: May last up to 7 days or longer
• Permanent/Shadowban: Can be indefinite if violations continue

3. How to Remove Instagram Like & Follow Block

a) Stop All Activities:
Do not like, follow, comment, or DM for at least 24-48 hours.

b) Log Out and Log In Again:
A simple logout/login can sometimes reset minor blocks.

c) Remove Third-Party Apps:
Disconnect any automation or bot services from your account.

d) Complete Your Profile:
Add a bio, profile photo, and verified email/phone number to increase trust.

e) Change Your IP/Device:
Try logging in from another secure device or network.

f) Update Your Instagram App:
Make sure you’re using the latest version of Instagram.

g) Report a Problem:
Go to Profile > Settings > Help > Report a Problem and politely explain your issue.

4. How to Prevent Future Action Blocks

• Avoid rapid likes, follows, and unfollows—space out your actions.
• Do not use bots or third-party automation tools.
• Engage genuinely with other users (comment real messages).
• Limit daily actions (e.g., under 150 likes, 50 follows per day).
• Don’t repeat the same comment or DM to many users.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting the app remove the block?

No, deleting the app does not remove the action block.

Can I get blocked again?

Should I switch to a business account?

Business accounts don’t have higher limits, but a complete profile can help reduce risks.
