There could be a few reasons Instagram is not letting you like posts. It could be because you have already liked that post, or because your account is set to private, and only approved followers can like posts.
Another possibility is that the post has been deleted or hidden from public view. If you’re still having trouble liking posts, you can contact Instagram’s support team for assistance.
It could also be that your Instagram is out of date and needs to be updated. This could also mean you have been blocked by Instagram. Action blocks usually occur when Instagram classes you as spam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Instagram may also block you if you like too many other Instagram posts. Instagram considers it spam because some people want to make as many posts as possible in order to get noticed. You are only allowed to like 350 photos and videos in one hour, according to Instagram rules.
It usually lasts up to 24 hours. You may get it after you break some of Instagram’s terms of service.
If you’re blocked from liking posts on Instagram, it’s likely because you’ve been using a third-party app to like posts automatically. To get unblocked, follow these steps:
1. Open Instagram and go to your profile.
2. Tap the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap “Settings.”
4. Tap “Account.”
5. Under “Liking” tap “Manage.
You would have been shadowbanned if your posts do not appear on the hashtag feeds of people who do not follow you (even after checking twice). Another way to check is to look at your Instagram Insights every day and look for a significant drop in the number of followers you receive.
Using too many hashtags on Instagram is a big no-no. You risk being shadowbanned if you use irrelevant hashtags to gain more visibility. You come across as spammy if you use the same hashtags in all of your posts. This may result in a shadowban from Instagram.
To help reduce spam, Instagram doesn’t allow anyone to follow more than 7,500 people. Anyone who tries to follow more than 7,500 people will see an error message, regardless of how many followers they have. Anyone who’s currently following more than 7,500 people did so before this change was made.
No, technically. Deleting old posts from your account has no negative consequences. The only disadvantage of deleting old posts is that the hashtags associated with them are also deleted. Once your post is deleted, your photo will lose its popularity.
If you unfollow too many people, Instagram will block you because it will alert the Instagram police about a violation of their terms and policies. As a result, your account will be temporarily or permanently banned. If this is your first ban and you are prepared to behave, there is no need to be concerned.
