Like Banned Twice In One Month

[MK01281985]

Hi there,

I have a very old account with 13.1k followers.

I am using FL to do approx 500-600 likes per day with ample time between likes (I think 30-60 seconds between likes at 15-20 likes per batch, and a 1-3 minute break in between batches.)

I've gotten banned/tempoarily blocked twice in the last month from liking, and I'm not sure why. The first time I got banned, I waited 3-4 days before starting the bot up again, and slowly started back up with like 200 likes/day.

-I am using a VPS to run FollowLiker. I am not using a proxy as this is my only IG account.
Other than that, I access Instagram regularly from my desktop and iPhone.

-I've recently, in the past month, given a social media strategist access to my Instagram account through his phone. So he is also logged into my IG account through his phone.

-I post regularly, and manually DM users a couple times a day. I also manually like perhaps 2-3 posts per day but have never had a problem doing so.

With the information above, does anyone have any ideas about why my account is being banned? Any advice on how to stop it? I'm afraid of losing my account.

Thank you.

What exactly does the "social media strategist" do for you?

What do you mean? I just DM people for personal reasons. Like a couple times a day, maybe sometimes not at all.
I’ve never had a problem doing so in the past along with the automation :-/

From what I understand, he’s just been observing how my “swipe up” links on my stories perform. But he’s logged in to my IG from Toronto, whereas i’m located in the US... not sure if that makes a difference.

But yeah he’s just using my IG to study the new Instagram Story API for his tech startup in Toronto to see what analytics were possible for him to access (outside of Instagram business analytics).

Using something different than FL to grow instagram... but i gave up on liking posts. Not really benefiting me to grow.
I used to like 800 to 900 daily though until i stopped

Why did you stop? Why do you recommend something other than FL?

I stopped because instagram changed rules on how many likes an account should give daily.
I never used FL so i can't tell why u should not use it.
Started with MassPlanner 8 months ago. Still rocking with it.

I see! Last question - - do you know the new like limit? Maybe that is why my account is being blocked. I thought 500/day was modest.

Sorry i did not do much research on this one. I saw it in my best interest to just leave it be and don't use it anymore because, i repeat, i did not get much from liking others.
Sorry i can't help with the number.
