You don't need to worry too much about this, it's just a small warning.

Quite a lot of common concerns today on the IG section. Yeah, it's a fairly common restriction, not really that alarming. That said, it is a warning sign that IG has flagged something or the other as suspicious. Doesn't help that BlueStacks is often has a very easily detectable emulator fingerprint. Could also be a combination of access behaviour or logging multiple accounts from the same IP and or device over a fairly short span of time.
There are steps you could take in the meantime to normalise the account moving forward but not sure which is more effective than others so ymmv.
Some I'd recommend would be to avoid using emulators for fresh acc, unless you really know the ins and outs or how to config custom emulators. That is to say go for virtual android devices instead, preferably with a clean fingerprint. That or mobile proxies plus anti-detect browsers.
When you do resume activity, you'll have to edit profiles and make posts slowly too, limit it to a couple or so a day perhaps.

So, a little update, my associate was running the IG of my model, but since he's moving out of the country, he couldn't do it anymore for the time being and we've decided I'll be the one running the the IG for now, the problem is, I've logged in on my phone last saturday and when I tried following an profile it says the feature is restricted, I've waitted until today and still the same issue, i had 4 accounts on my phone and decided to log out of one of them to make "room" for my influencer IG, now my question is, is this shadowban normal? should i'll be worried?
