Instagram Showing ‘Security Risk Detected’ Despite No Suspicious Activity
On the night of November 9, 2025, at around 11:00 PM, I received a warning on my iPhone that said “a potential security risk was detected” on my Instagram account with the username o*6**. There has been no suspicious activity on my account, I haven’t done anything unusual, and all of my security settings— including two-factor authentication—are fully enabled. I can still log in to my account and I haven’t experienced any restrictions; I just saw this warning once.
Even though I contacted Instagram’s support team, the issue was not resolved and the warning has not been removed. I have spent approximately $71–$94 USD on ads on my account to date. I want this problem fixed as soon as possible; otherwise, I will have no choice but to close or delete my account. I am requesting your assistance.
