LOS ANGELES — Instagram has added a new feature that allows users whose accounts have been disabled for allegedly violating the platform's Community Guidelines to request a review directly through the app.
Previously, users had to request a review through Instagram's Help Center, a more time-consuming and less user-friendly process. Instagram announced the change on Tuesday and will roll it out over the next couple of weeks.
"[T]he in-app appeal option will automatically appear when you attempt to log in to your disabled account," Instagram posted yesterday. "Your username will be pre-populated and you will need to add your full name, e-mail and a reason why you think we may have made a mistake in disabling your account. Finally, tap 'Request a Review' to have your disabled account re-reviewed and potentially restored."
XBIZ has been closely following Instagram's attempts to fix issues with their content moderation system.
