Among Instagram’s over 500 million daily active users, some \u2014 including you \u2014 may inadvertently liked too quickly, comment too efficiently, or send too many friend requests, resulting in your app screeching to a stop. You\u2019re left staring at an error: feedback_required<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Platforms like Instagram have a complex system of anti-bot technologies that monitor users\u2019 activity. Like challenge_required<\/code><\/a>, feedback_required<\/code> is one of the many checks Instagram has when it suspects automated activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s explore what triggers an Instagram feedback required error, what that means in general and for you, and how you can fix it \u2014 both as a normal user and when automating. If you\u2019re only interested in the fix, you can go straight to the solution or the solution for automators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does Feedback Required Mean on Instagram?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The feedback required error is a temporary block Instagram places on an account. The error is triggered by suspected spam or automation.<\/strong> The people most likely to see this error are Instagram users who like mass-liking, mass-following, and\/or engaging in other mass-anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram also has less direct ways of indicating you\u2019ve been temporarily blocked with pop-ups like \u201cTry again later<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve likely encountered the error after liking many, many<\/em> posts within a short time or commenting the exact same message too many times. Unusual behavior like this appears bot-like to Instagram, which like many websites, hates bots and automation. Let\u2019s break down the most common reasons you\u2019ll see a feedback required error on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Does It Say Feedback Required on Instagram?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instagram has nearly endless amounts of data on what activity makes up the behavior of a \u201cnormal\u201d Instagram user. If an account deviates from \u201cusual\u201d, expected behavior too much<\/strong> \u2014 or matches too closely activity associated with bots \u2014 the feedback required error is triggered automatically.<\/strong> From Instagram\u2019s perspective, this stops a malicious actor and protects a potentially compromised account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast and Repetitive Actions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Repetitive actions in quick succession within a limited timeframe is the most common reason a normal user will run into a feedback required error. Quickly liking many posts or following too many accounts is seen as suspicious behavior and, if left unchecked, could overwhelm a server. Rate limiting<\/a> is a common feature of any website and app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another way a normal user will run into this Instagram block is by posting the same comment (word for word) in multiple places. While spam-related activity can<\/em> fall under fast and repetitive actions, it doesn\u2019t have to be in quick succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspicious Network\/IP Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it can be your network that triggers feedback required. This is especially true if those network changes assign you IPs from different geolocations. Switching back and forth between WiFi and mobile data too quickly, for example, can cause the app to misinterpret these several failed requests as suspicious, which triggers the error. The same is true when trying to connect to Instagram through a low-quality VPN. You shouldn\u2019t use a free VPN<\/a> for a whole host of reasons anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspicious Login Attempts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similar to rapid network changes, unexpected login attempts can trigger Instagram to temporarily block your account. A normal user is most likely to run into this problem when logging into their account with a VPN still on, for example. Rapid login attempts from different geolocations are more likely to automatically trigger Instagram\u2019s systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram\u2019s Fault<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might be using an out-of-date version of Instagram, which causes the app and Instagram\u2019s systems to bug out. Alternatively, Instagram\u2019s servers might be having issues causing your account to be falsely flagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
