Instagram has blocked me from direct messaging people. Does Instagram think i am a bot? Why this could happen? I had to chat from PC using Ingramer and Bluestacks. Ingramer works just fine but Bluestacks slows down my system and reduces the system's performance. Any solution to my problem? Has anyone run into the same Issue with IG block?

Instagram may block users because of plenty of reasons like posting consecutively, liking too many posts in a given time, following lots of people in a day or posting repetitive content. To unblock your Instagram account, you can try sending a request to unblock through Instagram settings OR reinstall Instagram on your cell phone. And finally, the safest way is to be patient. Instagram itself will unblock you after a while!
