My IG account got flagged ever since getallmylinks got banned, and I happened to have the link on a story post when the ban occurred.

They took the post down due to it being a "suspicious link" (link got banned) and I appealed it. They denied and ever since then it now has the "Review this account before following" flag on my account whenever someone tries to follow.

How can I get this removed so that people can follow without thinking I am a scam? I logged out a week ago, but whenever I check on it, the flag remains.

It’s common for accounts to be flagged after being linked to infringing, especially when automated systems detect and apply restrictions. Even if the posts have been removed and your activity is now clean, warnings like “Review before following” may remain for a while. The best approach is to keep your activity natural, not spam, not add external links, and avoid editing your profile too much in a short period of time. If the situation doesn’t improve after a few weeks, you may want to consider starting a new account or contacting support more formally if the account is important.
 
That flag is super annoying. Once it's on, it can stick for a while even if the issue’s fixed. Try switching to a business account (if not already), remove all links for now, and keep posting clean content consistently. Sometimes it fades over time, but yeah… IG support is hit or miss.
 
Honestly, Meta has hit hard on accounts with flagged domain on their bios. Their AI is relentless and can auto ban you again if they find a connection between your account and a new account you would have created on the same phone/IP address
 
In most cases, after removal of the link with a new link, the account should be fine within 1-3 weeks. That is what other agencies had experienced.
 
They have declared your account as spam, for now wait and remove all your bio links completely.

Should I log out and give it a break for awhile?

Should I log out (without link) and give it a break for awhile?

I'd avoid most CTAs which lead users off of the platform. Instagram's goal is to keep users on the app for as long as possible so if you're trying to lead them to a link in bio or any sort of funnel it will get your account shadowbanned in one way or another.
 
Situation like this are very tough, it doesnt go easily, Though what I can suggest you is that keep doing manual actions, keep acting like a normal human, and eventually it should go away after sometime.
 
The ban is probably because you linked directly to +18 platforms without a landing page in between. Meta has banned getallmylinks domain because of that and the tool has removed the functionality since then.
