I've been having a tough time with Instagram lately. My main account that I used for years was suspended, and now every time I try to create a new account, it gets suspended almost immediately or within a few hours. On my latest attempt, I used a completely different Gmail address and didn't link any old information, yet it was still flagged. I'm wondering if this is due to a Device ID ban or an IP ban? Has anyone else faced this issue of "chain suspension" and figured out how to resolve it? I'm still using the same Android device; could that be affecting my attempts? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to create a new account without getting flagged by their automated system. Thanks!

From what I understand, they can track you based on your device IDs, IP address, and even factors like when you log in. It's probably best if you switch to a new device and try from a different network to dodge the bans.
Not necessarily a new phone, but a new device at least. Trying a friend's device might be worth a shot.
Just to be clear, creating new accounts while currently suspended violates their terms of service. That's a big red flag!
Have you thought about reaching out to Instagram's support? Although, they don't seem to have great support these days; it's pretty much just bots giving standard replies.
Yeah, I figured that. I've had no luck with them before, just automated responses! What a mess.
Seriously, their support is practically nonexistent now.
Can you please explain what you mean? How does that affect a new account?
Does that mean I might have to get a whole new phone? That sounds extreme.
