Are you getting the “Cannot contact account disabled” error on Instagram?
An error message occurs when you try to send a direct message to someone.
Because the text field is disabled, you won’t be able to type and send direct messages.
Instagram gives you the option to temporarily disable your account.
However, you may encounter some problems after re-enabling it.
One of the problems is that your friends may not be able to send you direct messages.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the “Cannot contact accounts disabled” error on Instagram direct messages (DM).

Why does Instagram say disabled accounts can’t be contacted?
Instagram says that disabled accounts can’t be contacted because the account is temporarily disabled.
On Instagram, you can temporarily disable/deactivate your account.
Deactivating your account can be done from the Instagram app, mobile browser or computer.
If you do so, your profile, posts, likes and comments will be hidden.
They will be restored when you reactivate your account by logging in again.
However, reactivation can cause some problems such as not being able to receive direct messages.
How to fix “Cannot contact disabled account” on Instagram
To fix the “Cannot contact accounts disabled” error on Instagram, users need to reactivate their account first (by logging in again).
If the account has been reactivated, you can try restricting and not restricting the account.
You can also try unfollowing and following or blocking and unblocking the account.
If all else fails, you’ll need to wait 24 to 48 hours or more to resend the direct message.
This is because reactivating your Instagram account may prevent you from receiving direct messages for a period of time.
Fix 1: Restricted and unrestricted
- Open a conversation between you and that person.
- Tap the person’s username on the top navigation bar.
- Select “Options” and select “Restrictions”.
- Search for the person’s username in your direct messages list and select them.
- Select “Unrestrict” and try sending them a message
Method 2: Unfollow and follow
- Access the person’s profile.
- Tap the “Following” button.
- Select “Unfollow” followed by “Follow”.

Fix 3: Block and unblock
- Open a conversation between you and that person.
- Tap the person’s username on the top navigation bar.
- Select “Options” and select “Block”.
- Select “Unblock” on the same screen.
- Try sending them a message.
Option 4: Wait 24 hours to 48 hours
- If an account is temporarily disabled, it needs to be reactivated before you can send them messages.
- To reactivate your Instagram account, you need to log in to it and follow the onscreen instructions.
- You may not be able to send messages to a newly reactivated account.
- If an account was recently reactivated, try waiting 24 to 48 hours or more before sending a message.
