I made an Instagram account recently and within 10 minutes they banned my account for being suspicious, asking for a mobile number. I gave them my number and then the account got banned again for the same reason. I didn't post anything or do anything suspicious, is this common?
This has happened to me, except I was banned instantly upon creation and they wanted a mobile number AND a selfie. Which I refuse to give them and ended up deleting Instagram.
I suspect my IP address was suspicious to the algorithm, but it's a mobile app on a mobile network so I'm not sure why it's so strict.
