Wondering how you can grow your Instagram account without the use of bots or automation? That’s a good thing! You’ve hit a roadblock, but instead of giving up, you’re looking for a way around it. So, as an entrepreneur myself who knows the importance of efficiency, in this particular case, I would NOT recommend the use of Instagram bots to help grow your following. While there are multiple reasons why this could happen to your account, the main one is from using Instagram bots and violating Instagram’s terms of use. Users started to notice that their images weren’t showing up within their used hashtags, and that led to a massive decline in engagement.

Around the same time, a lot of people started to experience what we’re now calling a “shadowban” ( click here to read my blog post about that!). And while Instagress has been relatively quiet about the closure - other than leaving a message on their site saying, “by request of Instagram we were forced to close our web-service” - we assume the reason is because they violated Instagram’s terms of use. Now, having said all that, it is pretty common for users to see the positive effects that Instagram bots have on their accounts without looking at the repercussions.Īs mentioned earlier in this post, one of the big names in Instagram automation, Instagress, was recently shut down. Don’t use the Instagram APIs to replicate or attempt to replace the functionality or essential user experiences of or any of Instagram’s apps. Don’t post unauthorized commercial communication or spam on Instagram.ĭon’t enable a business to take more than one action on Instagram at a time.Īdd something unique to the community. Use of Instagram’s API is subject to a separate set of terms.Īccording to Instagram’s API Terms, Instagram bots violate the following terms:ĭon’t store or cache Instagram login credentials.ĭon’t use the Instagram API to simply display User Content, import or backup content, or manage Instagram relationships, without our prior permission.Įnsure your comments are uniquely tailored for each person. You must not access Instagram’s private API by means other than those permitted by Instagram. As stated in Instagram’s Terms of Use, this is a strict violation: Adapt and survive I suppose.Most Instagram bots access Instagram’s API (the connection that allows a service such as Later to communicate with the Instagram app) without permission. It’s more work of course, but we haven’t experienced any of the issues we did with automation. The upside is, I switched my operations to manual, and have been getting great results for my clients.

The days of following thousands of accounts with zero blocks, at the press of a button, are over. Unless IG let’s up on the new parameters (and general consensus is, that’s not happening anytime soon due to the upcoming 2020 US election), automation is dead.
INSTAGRAM BOT FOLLOW MANUAL
We’ve now tested automation on thousands of accounts, with constantly changing parameters: dynamic IPs, randomized intervals, randomized sources, embedded browser, multiple different styles of manual account creation.you name it we‘ve tried it:) After the first wave of blocks didn’t let up, we started testing. How do I know this? Until June 4th my agency did this for hundreds of clients. Auto follow nowadays will 100% get you banned or blocked, even if you’re able to run with it for a time, regardless of which bot you use.
