How To Fix Feedback Required on Instagram
Instagram users who frequently use the platform often face temporary blocks placed by Instagram.
If you log in to your Instagram account, and all of a sudden, receive an error message that says “Feedback_Required,” then perhaps your profile is temporarily limited.
It is worth noting that this is indeed a temporary error that many users face, but how do you solve it?

What Does “Feedback Required” Error Mean on Instagram?
If you receive an error message that says “Feedback_Required,” that means that your account’s IP has been restricted.
Instagram limits accounts based on the following reasons:
- Instagram server is overloaded: if the server is failing, then you have nothing more to do other than to wait for a short period for it to be re-established;
- Completed the same action too many times: if you have been using an automation tool for liking posts, uploading pictures, reacting to Instagram stories, and so on, Instagram will consider this as spam;
- Your account broke Instagram rules: as it happens in any other social media app, there are rules that all users must follow. If you break the rules on other apps, such as Facebook or Twitter, you will be temporarily blocked, and Instagram is not the exception.
In this case, Instagram won’t let you post until you resolve your problems.
It is not the same issue as Instagram couldn’t load activity - perhaps you will be able to see each comment and like given to your posts, but forget about performing common actions.
How to Fix Instagram Feedback Required Error
Before we start with the solutions for the Feedback Required error on Instagram, make sure that your account doesn’t have access to third-party, spammy tools.
Instagram temporarily blocks accounts with spammy behavior.
Avoid running multiple tasks from now on - otherwise, this error code will not stop appearing.
Either way, if you are not using bots of any kind, it is also possible to get the Feedback Required error code.
This is one of the most common errors that you and other users face on a daily basis, so let’s get it fixed once and for all!
1. Check Instagram Server
The first method to get this problem fixed does not depend on you. On the other hand, you must check whether Instagram servers are working or not.
Sadly, there’s nothing that you can do against faulty servers.
Facebook and Instagram apps can fail without further notice, and you will be unable to logging on your device or computer version.
You might wait for a few minutes or for a few hours - be patient!
In order to check Instagram servers, we recommend you use a reliable website, such as DownDetector.
Either way, check other platforms for any comment related to Instagram problems.
2. Turn On Mobile Data
Perhaps the temporary error is happening due to problems with your Wi-Fi.
In this case, turning on your cellular network option is the smartest thing to do here.
Simply close Instagram, log out if you must, turn on your cellular network, log back in, and see if you can fix your account.
Many users have reported that using mobile data has made the error disappear.
You can switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and vice versa, so see if this does the trick.
3. Enable Access Data on Instagram
Perhaps the Instagram app is having problems with the data processed on your mobile device.
Sometimes, in order to fix Instagram, we must clear Instagram cache.
Other times, giving the app access to your data can also fix all the errors you are facing on it.
- Open Instagram app and tap on your profile picture. Here, go to Settings;
- Scroll down a little bit until you find the “Security” option. Here, navigate to “Data and History;”
- You will see an option that says “Access Data” on the app. Next to it, you will see a button that says “Reload” - tap on it and you will be good to go.
Then, close the app, open it again, and see if the Feedback error is gone now.
4. Reinstall the Instagram App
If you have tried the aforementioned solutions but nothing has worked, then uninstall Instagram, and then download it again.
We know that this might take some of your precious time, but some users have reported that the Feedback error disappears if you do this, so you lose nothing by just trying!
5. Contact Instagram Support via Browser
At last, some users who have not been able to solve this error by themselves go to Instagram Help Center on your browser and contact the support team.

There’s a high chance that the error solves by itself in the meantime they take to respond, but we can never know.
