Recently while using the Instagram I was logged out of the Instagram automatically and when I tried to re-login there was an error saying Sorry there was a problem with your request. I thought that it might be some Internet or server issue and will be resolved soon. I tried to Login after few minutes but still, I was facing the same error. It also was not a censorship issue since I also tried unblocking Instagram with a VPN.
Then I thought to reinstall the Instagram and I uninstalled and then installed again but the error was still not resolved. I googled for it and figured out that my device’s IP address was banned by Instagram and unfortunately I couldn’t access my account on Instagram from the Instagram official application.
However, I was still able to access my Instagram account via the browser but my device was banned from the particular account that’s why I couldn’t access it via the application.

Then, I came across to a solution which was much better and worked fine for me.
If you are also facing the same error on the Instagram application and able to Login via the browser then this article is for you. As here I am going to share some useful methods with you which will help you to get rid of Sorry There Was A Problem With Your Request error.
What are the reasons for ‘Sorry there was a problem with your request’ error?
If you still have not figured out that why you are facing this error then let me tell you that it happens when you violate the Instagram’s policies or post some offensive stuff or your account is reported by people in bulk then Instagram will temporarily ban your account from accessing via the application on a particular device.
If you find that you have not violated any policy of Instagram then you can reach them via Email and let them know that it was done by mistake. But the good thing about the temporary ban is that you can still access your account via Browser or another mobile.
But if you want to access your Instagram account from the Instagram application then please do follow the below methods. Try one by one some of they may work for you.

I mean Fix 'Sorry There Was A Problem With Your Request Error'
on Instagram – Techzy is kinda plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post titles to get viewers to click.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.

Sadly I tried all these methods and they didn’t work. The only reason I was able to get back into my main account was because I put “forgot password”. But to log into my spam account or just any other account in general, it won’t let me. But on other devices it works perfectly fine and I know I didn’t violate anything which is why I’m confused and I don’t know what else to do. Please help. I tried contacting instagram but I wasn’t successful on that.
Mine’s not working but I will try these methods. Anyway, which method worked for you guys?
I disabled my account and tried logging in but still no luck so then I created a facebook page and connected it but it just loads forever now. I’ve un- and re-installed the app many times and powered on and off my phone
Hi. It’s stuck on loading after trying method 1 on my iPhone. Is there any other way other than restoring? Couldn’t find the right Parallel Space app in App Store.

Is there a email for Instagram
You can raise a support ticket from their Support section.
I temporarily disabled my account. Now about a week later i am trying to log in and it wont let me. The message there is a error with your request keeps popping up. I tried the parallel app,deleting and restoring and it isnt working.
