Hello, insta asked me to verify my phone number inside the app so I did and seconds after my posts just disappeared, I had 28 posts now I only have 8 left and idk how to get them back, I checked in archived posts as well but they weren’t there, I also saw that a few more people had this problem recently. Can anyone help me?

So, It actually seems to be a pretty common thing. I just started a thread on it that you can see below...

https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/over-100-posts-instantly-vanish.1114925/

I have contacted several people who had this happen to them. They are normal users and not doing any BH growth hacks so it's unrelated to what we do with bots and whatnot. Basically, the posts will come back eventually and thereafter you'll have a two week shadowban. Do nothing bad in this period and things will be back to normal soon after.

Ok that’s good to hear, how long we talking bout tho before the posts come back?
 
This happened to my accounts however only 2 were deleted. Not even sure why but it happened also after when it asked for verification. I don't there is a way to revive the posts though >.<

So you never got them back?
 
Wait! I just had a check and I've gotten the two back! I'm not sure why they disappeared though. I hadn't checked my account when I said that ^
 
A day and a half if I calculated correctly.
Edit: Maybe because I switched to a business profile? I did that today but I'm not sure if that's the reason why.

Oh ok, and I’m already on a business profile

Yes I was one, but I turned it off [because I needed to change the business email] - not sure if the turning off triggered the deletion and then I re-turned it on

Aha I gotchu, idk we’ll see if my stuff comes back soon or nah
 
I obviously can't be sure, but this seems more like an issue on their side. I don't see the logic in removing posts for unclear reasons and then reinstating the posts some time later.

Yeah it seems to be some kind of bug in their system that happens after verifying your phone number
 
It has been over 24 hours now and my posts are still gone...
 
Great! Scary - my main account just needed to go verification and right after it did, I saw it at 0 posts, 400 posts and then back to normal... I think I may be at the brink of being banned!
 
My posts are back now.

It seems to be a 48 hour thing. Talk about a weird bug though...
 
Yeah fr, and the fact that they haven’t even acknowledged it or fixed it bothers me even more..
