Integrity covers quite a bit of scenarios so it's one or a combination of using automation tools with an inadequate setup, suspicious account activity (login and use), some form of content violation, impersonation or misrepresentation, or plain ol' user reports. Enough of those does that.
If you feel like this doesn't apply to you and you have the required information to verify your IG identity, you should be able to appeal the ban with IG's support team.

It usually means they think you broke community guidelines—like using fake info, spammy behavior, or trying to game the system. But sometimes it’s just Insta being Insta.

what did you do before getting banned? What exactly did they say besides integrity?

pretty general. Did they give you any more detailed notice?

From what we noticed with over 500 suspensions with some of the accounts we used on API, Integrity means that they noticed that you either posted something that goes against their guide lines; For example, AI face-swaps. Another reason could be that you are spam commenting.

We don't allow people on Instagram to pretend to be a business or speak for them without permission.
Examples of things we don't allow
Creating an account that looks like it belongs to a business.
Using a business’s logo or brand assets to deceive people.
Creating and posting content that pretends to speak for a business.

“Integrity” bans usually mean you broke trust rules—like using fake info, misleading content, or bots. Best bet: appeal and ask for details.

I get this message often too, could it be related even though i don't understand what it even means as i dont login via multiple devices:
You couldn't create multiple sessions
Why this happened
The account, or activity on it, may try to gather sensitive information or share malicious software.
This goes against our Community Standards on cybersecurity.

That message likely triggered the ban. Even if you're not on multiple devices, it could be a false flag from VPNs, extensions, or unusual logins. Best to appeal and explain your setup.

doesn't give me a chance, it asks me to upload a selfie then perma bans me

Yeah, some platforms force a selfie check and then ban you permanently if it doesn’t pass. It’s rough because you don’t get a real chance to explain. Unfortunately, if their system flags you this way, it’s almost impossible to reverse without direct support—usually they don’t respond much. If you can, try reaching out via official support channels or help forums outside the usual appeal process.

Happened to me too a while back. I think it was from using too many accounts on one device or some flagged content. Meta’s “integrity” reason is super vague tbh.
