Instagram is issuing the message «action blocked» and preventing people from carrying out activities on the profile for no clear reason, according to reports by Brazilians on Twitter.
The warning is displayed after advancing many Stories in a row on the social network.
Complaints indicate that accounts are temporarily blocked until Sunday (14), and users are not allowed to view Stories â either from contacts they follow or not.
DownDetector, a website that gathers bug reports on digital services, indicates that the problem on Instagram affects mainly the United States and the United Kingdom, in addition to Brazil.
Users assume that it is a bug, as many claim not to use automated action apps to gain likes and followers (a practice prohibited by the social network).
On Twitter, all complaints report that the account is blocked until the same date: next Sunday.
In response to dnetc, Instagram claims it is investigating the error.
The cause of the block and how to resolve it are unknown.

The official reasons for blocked action on Instagram are based on the use of third-party applications to automate activities, such as liking, following and commenting.
This practice is common for users who plan to get large numbers of followers and likes in an authentic way, which is prohibited by Instagram.
However, there are reports of people who have been blocked despite having enjoyed and followed other accounts organically.
However, this case brings together a greater number of affected people who claim not to use external apps.
In addition, most reports on Twitter indicate that the blocked action was activated while skipping Stories on Instagram, and prevented the user from watching posts from any account â whether from profiles they follow or not â until Sunday.
