How Long Does It Take For Instagram To Review A Disabled Account:
If your Instagram account is disabled, you can see it when you try to log in to your account. If it is promoted that your account is disabled or deleted, then you can download your account data and request a review.
When you request a review, you will be taken to the third screen, where you will need to enter your basic details and the reason for filling out that form.
Instagram will then review the decision, which generally takes up to 24 hours to 3 days; sometimes, if the issue is significant, it may take more than 3 days.
Why Does Instagram Disable an Account:
There are some reasons why Instagram disables an account:
1. You Didn’t follow Community Guidelines
Some policy violations of Instagram may be a cause for disabling your Instagram account. If the reported content is hyperbolic speech, Instagram will warn them to remove this content.
If they continue to violate this policy after receiving a warning, their account will be first disabled and eventually permanently suspended.
Violations such as threatening to kill someone, threatening to sexually assault someone, threatening to injure someone seriously, and committing any other act of violence are against the Instagram community guidelines.
2. Disabled by mistake
It could happen that you did not break the community guidelines of Instagram and did not post any suspicious thing, but still, your account is disabled. This mistake might happen when Instagram is confused between two similar types of accounts and disables the wrong one.
