Topic: Instagram Action Blocked Errors | Status: Updated
What is this error?
Error 6118 in Instagram typically indicates that your account has been temporarily blocked from performing certain actions due to suspicious activity or apparent bot-like behavior. This error is often triggered when Instagram detects actions that violate their community guidelines or terms of service.
How to Fix It
- Take a Break: Cease all activities that may have triggered the block. This includes liking, commenting, following, or unfollowing users for at least 24-48 hours.
- Review Your Account Activity: Check your recent actions for any excessive or spam-like behavior. Ensure that your activities align with Instagram's community guidelines.
- Change Your Password: Update your password to secure your account. This can prevent unauthorized access and make Instagram more comfortable about your account security.
- Verify Your Account: If prompted, complete the verification process. This may include confirming your identity through email or SMS.
- Limit Future Actions: Set a moderate limit on your daily activities. Instagram favors accounts that engage gradually rather than those that engage aggressively.
- Contact Instagram Support: If the error persists after 48 hours, reach out to Instagram's support team for assistance. Provide them with details of your account and the actions leading up to the block.
