Don't underestimate AI. In fact this tech is already quite established for facial recognition with accuracy up to 90%. You will be surprised how fast and accurate AI can close any loopholes or flaws in system, much faster than any human beings.

I wouldn't say he underestimates them, but there are already ton of bugs and with this updates they will only add on.

Oh wow, scary!

Any time you automate something, you run the risk of bugs, or unintended actions taken.

That's just the nature of it. There will be false positives, and they realize that. It won't be perfect, the AI

So Instagram automation tools will need to adapt

Instagram has so many bugs and thyve had machine learning for a long time now
I guess now they will start using it in creative ways to combat "fake" accounts. As of now they combat fake accounts but lots of real accounts get caught in the crossfire

[TheBizCat]

They fix one bug but create 10 more... That's just the name of the game when you're in blackhat.

You've gotta be able to adapt to change or you're toast in this game.

This will change very little. Never bot on accounts you can't risk losing. Never buy likes/followers. Simple.

How to deal with those guys sending me fake likes. How to protect my accounts? How IG will spot if thats me or someone else hurting me?

It was only a matter of time. As someone mentioned above, they've been had ai to combat bot detection, and spam.. but as with any machine, it has flawss.. so while it works to a certain extent.. it also affects normal users since it's not perfect. People doing automation aren't the only people who have been receiving phone and email verifications, and unwarranted bans.. which goes to show its a continuous work in progress.

And the fake followers and likes they're referring to are the ones bought from panels, which isn't really hard to detect as its not really normal for you to receive 5k followers in a matter of minutes, same as likes.. especially when your account isn't normally receiving this type of action. The accounts used to give the fake follows and likes, will just have to perform more regular actions and people will have to recieve their followers and likes with drip feed to look more natural.. which honestly, they should of been doing from the start.

Why would someone send you fake likes..? Besides all they'll do is remove the likes.

Who offer some good services that do drip feed like you're saying? I'm new here and looking to boost my Instagram page and want to go about it a correct way instead of buying likes/followers etc.

there's nothing mentioned about botting, they are removing engadgements from panels, fake likes fake comments etc
just like fb did with clickjack, its the same thing
i guess people who run mass accounts for panels gonna suffer from this, meanwhile those who grow pages with bots will have a few more days(hopefully)

1. Buy a bunch of likes to competitor account
2. Instagram makes them change their password
3. Repeat x100 on drip-feed.
4. Competitor can't get into account.
5. Repeat

Instagram would be better brushing it off and forgetting about it IMO.

And where you plan to buy the likes once they start banning and deleting accounts who deliver likes in first place.. For the last 1 year ig likes were not stable every 15-20 days there are some problems with delivery on almost all panels. I think that they will also target automatition tools and accounts who are doing follow-unfollow. There is big money in this industry and ofcourse people will try to find solutions, some providers will survive and continue providing these services but it will be very expensive.

I don't use SMM panels, but have before. I've seen fake accounts that are VERY hard to distinguish from real accounts. There's tons of money in the SMM panel industry so there will always be a service IMO. Overall I feel this will cause more of a headache for the regular Instagram user. This is all just speculation of course. Make good money off Instagram now and diverse your income. Don't just rely on Instagram as anything can happen in the near future.

All social media platforms besides Instagram has seen a downtrend in activity/active users. I honestly believe that the reason Instagram has seen such great growth is because of botted activity.

 

[Captain_Nothing]

I don't this affects SMM panels only services that will automate activity for you like Instagress did. Seems so at least according to the screenshot on the webpage.

People who use these types of apps share their username and password, and their accounts are sometimes used by third-party apps for inauthentic likes, follows and comments. Not only does this introduce bad behavior into the Instagram community, it also makes these accounts less secure.
