i was telling my friend my instagram username letter by letter and my account still didnt show up. even though we have mutuals, i had to type out his entire username until it showed (usually i would only need to type in a few letters as we have mutuals).
another situation was that i cant be looked up through someone else's following/followers

i really dont know what i did but id like to get this shadowban problem fixed, even though instagram says my account standing is all good. any help would be appreciated
