Reposted from THE INSTAGRAM SHADOW BAN: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
You spend hours taking the perfect picture, editing it, writing an amazing caption, finding the best hashtags and yet – no one can see it! Why? Because you’ve been shadow banned on Instagram. It’s Bulls***! Okay, I’ve calmed down now… Let’s proceed.
WHAT IS AN INSTAGRAM SHADOW BAN?
A shadow ban is a restriction on your Instagram account, whereby your posts won’t show on any of the hashtags used in the captions or comments. So if your latest post included the hashtag … I would be flattered 😉 But also, I wouldn’t be able to find your post when browsing through that particular hashtag, nor would anyone else. The only exception would be if I was following you and it came up in my feed.
Does It Really Exist?
Let me first inform you that Instagram themselves claimed that the ‘shadowban’ is a myth. Here’s what they’ve had to say about it… “We have not made any recent changes to feed ranking, and we never hide posts from people you’re following – if you keep scrolling, you will see them all“
The thing is, if you at their exact wording – they say that they don’t hide your posts from your followers, BUT they never said anything about people that don’t follow you.
HOW TO CHECK IF YOU’VE BEEN SHADOW BANNED
Unfortunately, there’s no warning message when you get a shadowban, instead of to find out you’ll want to get access to a second Instagram account. Once you’ve done this, you need to search for some of the hashtags that you’ve recently used in your posts.
