What does feedback required mean?

The feedback required error is triggered if you’re, for example, posting too many hashtags, partaking in spam, or just moving too fast for Instagram’s liking. It’s also known to appear when Instagram’s server is down.

Generally, getting the feedback_required error means that something set off Instagram’s anti-bot safety system. So, this error message pops up when Instagram automatically detects an account acting as a bot. Robot discrimination indeed knows no limits on the

internet… But here’s the thing – this error could point to a myriad of triggers because it shows up to real users, too.

Note that there are a few other error messages that go with the same error, like “Sorry, we couldn’t complete your request. Please try again in a moment”.

Another one is “Server error feedback required”. So, if you see these messages, you’ll know that the following remedies can help.
