is this a safari problem

Here is a screenshot of me trying to get on IG. I logged out of my main account and have trying for days to register a second account. I can get in on my phone though the app, but not safari. It is it something in my history?

Mac mini, macOS 13.2

You could try deleting any stored data for that web site.

  1. Open Safari
  2. Choose Settings under the Safari menu
  3. Select Privacy
  4. Select "Manage Website Data..."
  5. Type "Instagram" in the search field
  6. Remove the instagram files that show up.


Note: This action will remove any cookies also, so things like login id or site specific preferences will need to be entered again.

It keeps redirecting to this address: https://ig-thrift.instagram.com/accounts/suspended/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2F%3F__coig_ufac%3D1

Even when I google instagram, and try to click the link I get this URL. Have they done something to my IP? Are they blocking Safari on my M1?

When I click in your Link above .


I too get the Exact Same Results as your computer.


But with I click on the link proved by @ Mac Jim ID which is www.instagram.com


This is using an Apple Computer running Ventura 13.2.1 with Safari 16.3

Are you getting this result from typing www.instagram.com into the address bar or selecting a bookmark?

The homepage of instagram is www.instagram.com, but it appears you are being redirected to a different site.


I suggest putting the full www.instagram.com into the address bar, then signing into your account from there. This should avoid any misdirection from a previous site you may have visited.
