Social Media Guides
Step-by-step guides on account recovery, appeals, platform policies and social media growth.
Recovering a disabled, hacked or banned account
Losing an Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube account rarely comes with an explanation, and the appeal forms give you one shot at getting it right. This section is our field manual for that moment: what a disabled, suspended, hacked or permanently banned notice actually means, which official recovery path applies to each platform, and the mistakes that turn a fixable case into a permanent one.
Every guide is written from the cases our recovery team handles: Meta Business Manager lockouts, Instagram appeals rejected twice, YouTube channels terminated on a copyright or spam strike, TikTok bans with no stated reason. You will find step-by-step appeal instructions, the documentation each platform’s review team expects, realistic timelines, and a checklist for the first 48 hours after you notice something is wrong.
If you have already exhausted the appeal buttons, our social media recovery service handles escalation directly with the platforms. No passwords are involved, and the initial case assessment is free, so you know whether an account is recoverable before you commit to anything. Start with the first-48-hours checklist, then find the guide for your platform below.
