Graph API Permissions

Instagram Permissions I Get Approved

From publishing to DMs to analytics — every Instagram Graph API permission your app needs, handled and approved.

Every Instagram API App Review is decided permission by permission, and the names depend on your login. Business Login for Instagram uses instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_content_publish, instagram_business_manage_messages and instagram_business_manage_comments; the Facebook Login setup uses instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish and instagram_manage_messages together with Page permissions.

instagram_content_publish
Publish photos, videos, reels, and stories to Instagram Business/Creator accounts via the API.
instagram_manage_comments
Read, reply to, and delete comments on Instagram media through your application.
instagram_manage_messages
Access and reply to Instagram Direct Messages via the Messenger API for customer support flows.
instagram_manage_insights
Read analytics: reach, impressions, follower counts, post engagement metrics for Business accounts.
instagram_basic
Read basic profile info, media, and account details from Business/Creator accounts.
pages_read_engagement
Required alongside Instagram permissions when accessing Page-linked Instagram accounts.
Common Mistakes

Why Instagram App Review Gets Rejected

Most rejections are preventable. These are the Instagram Graph API-specific mistakes I see — and fix — every time.

01
Personal Account in Screencast
Instagram Graph API only works with Business or Creator accounts. Using a personal account in the demo causes instant rejection.
02
No Facebook Page Connected
Instagram Business accounts must be linked to a Facebook Page. Reviewers reject apps where this connection is missing or not demonstrated.
03
Automated Posting Without User Intent
Publishing permission is rejected if your screencast shows bulk posting without clear user-initiated action for each post.
04
Token Expiry Not Handled
Apps that don't demonstrate proper long-lived token refresh (60-day cycle) are rejected for not meeting API standards.
05
Missing Webhook Configuration
Permissions like instagram_manage_messages require a working webhook. No callback URL means rejection.
06
Insights Data Cached Incorrectly
instagram_manage_insights is rejected when apps store analytics data beyond permitted timeframes or without proper disclosure.
07
Wrong Account Type in Test
Screencast must use an Instagram Business or Creator account with the test user role properly assigned in the app.
08
Incomplete Login Flow
If Facebook Login doesn't complete the full OAuth flow including Instagram permission scopes, reviewers can't test the app.
09
Message Use Case Unclear
instagram_manage_messages is strictly for customer service. DM access is rejected if the use case isn't clearly a business-to-customer conversation flow.
How It Works

4
Token Handling Check
Test your app's long-lived token refresh logic to ensure it meets Meta's 60-day rotation requirement.

Write Developer Notes
Detailed per-permission notes explaining the exact Instagram feature your app provides and why the user needs it.
6
Record IG Screencast
Professional walkthrough using an actual Instagram Business account, demonstrating every permission being used in context.
7
Submit for Review
Submit through Meta App Dashboard with proper test credentials, user roles, and all documentation complete.

Before You Submit

Every Instagram App Review service engagement starts with one question: which login flow does your product use? The Instagram API with Facebook Login and the Instagram API with Instagram Login need different setup and different permission names, so the plan has to match the flow before anything is submitted. Confirming that choice early also tells you which permissions belong in the request and which can wait.

With more than 10 years of experience in Meta API work and over 500 apps taken through review, the pattern is consistent. Most delays come from a mismatch between the account type, the login flow, and the screencast, not from the code itself. Settling those three points first avoids a full resubmission cycle. A short written checklist for each point, reviewed before the first submission, usually catches the problems that reviewers would otherwise return.

100% Approval Confidence: Having approved 500+ apps and 10,000+ permissions, we know exactly what Meta reviewers require to approve your app.

100% Money-Back Guarantee: If we cannot get your valid use case approved, you get a 100% refund (You don't pay if not approved).

Safe Escrow Payment: For your complete peace of mind, we accept orders via Upwork and Fiverr Escrow so your payment remains 100% protected until your permissions are approved.

FAQs

Instagram App Review — FAQs

Straight answers to the questions developers ask most about getting Instagram Graph API permissions approved.

What is Instagram Graph API App Review?
Instagram Graph API App Review is Meta's process for approving apps that request access to Business or Creator Instagram accounts. Permissions like instagram_content_publish and instagram_manage_messages require explicit approval before your app can use them for any Instagram user beyond your own test accounts.
Does my Instagram account need to be a Business or Creator account?
It depends on the login flow. With the Instagram API with Facebook Login, the Instagram professional account must be linked to a Facebook Page. With the Instagram API with Instagram Login, no Facebook Page is required, and the permissions are the instagram_business_* set (for example instagram_business_basic and instagram_business_manage_messages).
What permissions need Instagram App Review?
All permissions beyond basic read access need review: instagram_content_publish (posting), instagram_manage_comments (comments), instagram_manage_messages (DMs), and instagram_manage_insights (analytics). I handle all of them.
Can I automate Instagram posting through the API?
Yes, but only with user-initiated actions. The Instagram Content Publishing API allows scheduled and automated publishing, but the screencast must show a user deliberately triggering the publish action — not a bot posting without interaction.
How long does Instagram App Review take?
Expect about 3 days for our complete preparation and submission, followed by Meta's review queue — typically 10–20 days (can be faster or take longer depending on Meta's volume). For apps with multiple permissions, if Meta requests adjustments on specific scopes, we handle the changes and re-apply at no extra cost, and each follow-up round follows the same 10–20 day review window.
Can you get instagram_manage_messages approved?
Yes. Messenger API for Instagram requires proving your app is used for business-to-customer support — not marketing blasts. I write the required use case documentation and record a screencast showing a real customer service conversation flow.
Do I need a webhook to get Instagram permissions approved?
For instagram_manage_messages and instagram_manage_comments, yes. Meta requires a live, verified webhook endpoint. I can help you configure the webhook as part of the review preparation.
What happens if my Instagram app gets rejected?
Re-submissions are included. I analyze the rejection reason — whether it's the account type used, webhook configuration, or developer notes — fix it precisely, and resubmit. Most rejections are resolved on the first resubmission.
Is instagram_business_manage_messages the same as instagram_manage_messages?
No. They sit in different login families. instagram_business_manage_messages belongs to Business Login for Instagram and depends only on instagram_business_basic. instagram_manage_messages belongs to Facebook Login and depends on instagram_basic, pages_read_engagement and pages_show_list, according to Meta's Permissions Reference. Request, test and record the one that matches the login your app actually shows.
Do Instagram DM apps need the Human Agent feature?
Only if a person on your team replies after the standard 24-hour messaging window has closed. Human Agent is a separate feature that allows a human reply within 7 days of the customer's last message. Automated replies outside the window are not allowed, so request it only when your app has a real live-agent inbox, and show that inbox in the screencast.
Does an Instagram Login app still need a Facebook Page?
No. With Business Login for Instagram, the Instagram professional account logs in directly and your app only needs the Instagram API setup with Instagram login product. A linked Facebook Page is required only for the Facebook Login setup, which uses instagram_basic and the Page permissions. Choose the setup first, because it decides which permissions you submit for review.
Which Instagram Graph API permissions should my Instagram API App Review request?
Only the ones your screencast shows in use, so pick the login first. Business Login for Instagram apps request instagram_business_basic plus the feature scope, such as instagram_business_manage_messages for DMs or instagram_business_content_publish for posting. Facebook Login apps request instagram_basic and the matching permission, such as instagram_manage_messages, along with the Page permissions it depends on, such as pages_show_list and pages_read_engagement. Unused permissions in a request are a common reason for rejection.
