Today I noticed...

Instagram on iOS iPhone starting blocking kpop related tags. I checked my android devices as well as an iPad and the tags aren't blocked. The tags I checked:

#yoshinori (and other Treasure-related tags)
#ikon
#redvelvetwendy

I get the message:

"We've hidden posts with this hashtag for going against Instagram's Community Guidelines."

That's strange, seems to be working for me on my iphone

I don't see how those hts go against their guidelines looool

they all show up fine on my iphone 6s

Why my phone? I have an unlocked SE. Is it my carrier? I have T-Mobile.

Do you need to update your iOS, or the IG app? That's really strange

Maybe.

I have more than one IG account. The one on my phone is the civilian account. I use an android device for my kpop account.

Finally uploaded a screenshot. I don't log into H+ while on my phone.

Can you see stuff under the 'recent' tab?

Seems related to this https://www.the-wallrus.com/banned-instagram-hashtags/

Might be a partial ban, and location-specific (due to ?inappropriate things posted under that #)

Thank you for looking this up!

I actually checked and the temporary ban was lifted! Going to read that article now!
