Unlike a traditional ban, when a user cannot post on a site, a shadow-ban means their content isn't being seen by non-followers.
Instagram introduced new transparency tools on Wednesday that will show you if you're shadowbanned or not. The app's Account Status section now lets users with professional accounts know if their photos and video clips are eligible to be shared in Reels, Explore and Feed Recommendations.
If they're not, they can see examples of content that has run afoul of Instagram's Recommendations Guidelines and decide whether to make edits. There's also an option to appeal a decision "so our review team can take another look as quickly as possible," according to a newly updated post on the Instagram blog.
