I logged in with the same device for four different Instagram account, one of them is my personal account.
I bought one of the accounts a month ago. There has been no problem with it before.

I do not know whether these things are related to the current situation.


Yesterday my phone started messing with something. Suddenly it turned off twice on its own, and I had to log in to my phone again.
Later yesterday, my Instagram account (that which I had bought) automatically changed to English. I myself am Finnish, and account was also in Finnish. Then it automatically changed back to Finnish.
Last night I could no longer log in to my account, it had thrown me out. However, the account still appeared in the menu among my other accounts. When I opened that account, the text "you may have been a victim of phishing scams, prove you own the account" came into the screen. Then was displayed previous owner's phone number and e-mail address, even though I've deleted them already setup and added my own place.
Fortunately, the previous owner had received a confirmation number on their phone and gave it to me. I was able to log in to my account again and everything was fine. I now have passwords exchanged for email, instagram and two-step authentication by phone number was added.

Now I get to log in to my account from normal and everything seems to be ok.

Currently problem:

When I go with my personal Instagram account to that account. It's empty, i can't find pictures of that account in hashtag searches, the account can't be found with the account name. The same thing happens when a former owner goes with her personal account to that particular account.

If I type in the browser the URL that has previously led to this account. The text "This page is unfortunately not available.
The link you are following may be invalid or the page may have been deleted. Return to Instagram. "(Picture attached).

When I go to another of my Instagram accounts to that particular account. Everything looks as it should, I find hashtags in search, I find an account in search, etc.
When I add a picture, it gets likes.

I have used Later service in my account about one week.

Why can these issues cause my account to not appear or be found for everyone? but some see it normally?

I added pictures as an attachment. Thank you for help.

Shows up as "page has been removed" when accessing from the PC. One of my accs was gone for 3 months before miraculously re-appearing again. Not sure tho what this causes.
 
Can this be a shadow ban?
 
Actually there's not much you can do - you could write the support, but this will take ages until its answered, and it's unlikely that they will admit its shadowbanned. Wait a few days and see if anything changes. Like mentioned mine was gone completely and magically reappeared after months. I accidentally found it was working again, otherwise I'd had called it a day and made a new one ( at 74k real followers this is really painful )
 
if its shadow ban then try not to post for few days. there are some posts here regading how to remove that
 
I changed business account to personal. Everything works and now shows up normally. Can a business account be the reason for this?
 
Update.

That is, I switched my account to business -> personal.
Everything recovered and worked well. The account was found with search functions, hashtags were found, etc. So everything worked as it should.

Now I switched the account back to a business account. Not found with search function, nor with hashtags. Typing a link in the browser again gives me the error message I reported earlier.

What is the problem here? Everything works as a personal account, but a business account hides my account? It would be important to get swipe up links, so using a business account is a must.
 
did you connect your acc to FB? Check your settings if all is still in place and connected. May wanna watch this here as well

It's a bit weird. And how is the reach on your "personal account" when you posted ? If it wasn't affected at all, you might try to reach out to FB for business to have a talk with the support and ask.

Then it's not a shadow ban of some sort. I would reach to the support. We can only think about ideas, but hard to really tell what's the issue here

Is it possible to get any help from support ? Need to try.

Yes, especially if your account already used FB ads. You should be able to go their website (FB for business) and might get the support talking to you. Alternatively, they can have a chat on Messenger, but less responsive apparently.

Where I can contact support? I only found guides but not contact support.
 
Try to login on the website. If you can't, reach to them on their FB page :)
I couldn't find any contact button. When I try to proceed with the contact, it is eventually redirected back to the home page. Is there a chat feature or a direct link to the contact us pages?
Really fucking support site :D
