Urgent Request for Manual Review and Recovery of My Disabled Instagram and Facebook Accounts

Dear Meta Support Team,

I am writing to respectfully appeal the disabling of my Instagram account, @hossain_sabbir_anam, and the subsequent suspension of my linked Facebook account.

I have been using Instagram for more than 10 years and have always used the platform genuinely to connect with my family, friends and community. Throughout all these years, I have never knowingly violated Instagram’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service, and I have never received any previous warnings about my account.

On 1 November 2026, Instagram requested that I complete a video selfie verification to confirm my identity. I followed the instructions and submitted the video selfie as requested. However, immediately afterwards, my account was disabled with a notification stating that Meta’s technology had detected that my account or activity did not follow its Community Standards. No specific violation, post or activity was identified.

I genuinely do not understand why this decision was made. My account contains more than 10 years of personal photographs, family memories and meaningful connections. I have shared many pictures of myself and my family, including my nieces and nephews. This account is extremely important to me, and losing access to all these memories has been heartbreaking.

I also use my genuine identity and the same name across Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp, with consistent personal verification details, including my phone number and email address. I have always used these platforms as a genuine individual.

Since losing access to my original Instagram account, I recently created a new Instagram account, @anamulhossainsabbir, solely to contact Meta Support and seek assistance with recovering my original account. This is my alternative contact account, not a replacement for my original account.

I am particularly concerned that this decision may have resulted from an automated detection or verification error. I respectfully ask Meta not to rely solely on automated technology but to arrange a proper manual review by a human specialist who can carefully examine my account history and the circumstances surrounding its disabling.

If I have unintentionally done anything that may have violated a guideline, I sincerely apologise. It was never my intention to break any rules, and I am willing to remove any content that may have been considered inappropriate and ensure that it does not happen again.

I am fully prepared to provide my government-issued identification or any additional documents required to verify my identity and ownership of the accounts.

I kindly request Meta to reconsider this decision and give me another opportunity to recover my original Instagram and Facebook accounts. I have spent more than 10 years building these personal connections and memories, and I sincerely hope that my case will receive fair consideration from a human reviewer.

Thank you for your time, understanding and consideration. I would be extremely grateful for your help in restoring my accounts.

Yours sincerely,
