Instagram has permanently disabled the account of Talha Ahmed, a popular content creator known for his unique and family-friendly videos, citing an age-related policy violation.

 

Speaking to a digital media outlet, Talha’s brother Taha Ahmed revealed that the platform claimed Talha was under 13 years old, which led to the account’s suspension. “Instagram says Talha is under 13, which is why they disabled his account, but he is actually 16,” Taha said.

 

When asked what steps they took after the suspension, Taha explained, “As soon as the account was disabled, we appealed on Instagram. The platform asked for identity documents or any proof to verify his age through a form.”

 

Taha added that Instagram required a photo on the submitted documents. “Since Talha does not have a CNIC, I submitted his school documents that included his name, photo, and age. But even after that, Instagram has not restored the account,” he stated. 

 

When asked about the possible reason for the sudden suspension and whether Talha plans to return with a new account, Taha responded, “We have no idea if the account was reported or what happened. It has been permanently disabled. As for content creation, Talha plans to return soon on social media with a new account.”

 

Meanwhile, followers on Talha Ahmed’s Facebook page are sharing reactions and comments on the account suspension.

 

Talha has built a massive following with his family-oriented videos, which even earned him recognition at the highest level. 

 

In July, he met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad. The Prime Minister praised Talha for his creative work, presented him with an honorary shield, and gifted him an electronic tablet. Shehbaz Sharif said that young Pakistanis are showcasing their talent to the world and called Talha “a shining example of the limitless potential of the Pakistani nation.” Talha expressed his gratitude for the recognition and encouragement.

 

He has over 800,000 followers on Instagram.
