Follow Block?

[avatar2534]

I'm developing a tool that's supposed to increase the quality of accounts. If you want to give it a try with one account that has follow blocks let me know. You can keep the account logged in Jarvee and see if it gets "unlocked."

Tests were done on three batches of different accounts totalizing 100 accounts, and follow blocks were removed from all.

Btw those accounts all had soft blocks (were capable of following manually but not with EB on Jarvee nor with API)

Hey I'd be interested in trying out your tool. DM me please

Use a account for bot for 20 hours a day for weeks or months
Rest it for 3 days
Now you fooled the machine learning and IG algo of a billionaire corporation
Yes, its that easy!

Thanks for the smart ass reply that helps no-one. For the record, this account has never run 20 hours a day. Always had a proper "sleep" mode that changed a bit each day. I also have always incorporated entire rest days for this account. At the time of my last post on the 25th this account had been resting for over 3 weeks with zero change in the block. When I said I'd taken the downtime to humanize the account, I didn't mean I thought I'd outsmarted Instagram. I simply meant I've tweaked all settings available via Jarvee to, what I feel, most mimics what actual human activity would look like. To the best of my ability this is pretty much all I can do. But by all means, keep the .exe jokes coming. I'm sure we'd all like to see your badly worded signature advertisement plastered here even more.

That's what I'm trying to do. A little boost to my and client's accounts while still running the authentic IG app like normal -- responding to messages, manual posting, commenting, reposting mentions, etc. I too got the "Welcome to Instagram" and partial refresh errors (like user follower/following counts not showing or their feeds not loading). And quite a few "You may have shared your login" warnings. Lately I received a forced password change. No blocks. But haven't done any following since the password change.

Jarvee says that they don't recommend using both their software and app the same time but clients and I need to use the IG app like a normal user. These aren't spam accounts.

How many follows/likes were you doing daily? Did you take any days off from following? Muting people immediately after following?

I'm wondering if Jarvee is doing way too user scraping with all my filters... and you combine that with the querying the app normally... it is hitting a limit and getting flagged. When I was getting those "Welcome to Instagram" and refresh errors, if I turned off Jarvee they would instantly go away.

I'm considering using a throwaway account to do the "good to follow" scraping and sending that list to the primary account. That way I am splitting up the heavy scraping from the normal-ish user behavior.

First off, my business account has been up and running normally since I last posted. Absolutely no issues. I made a lot of changes to how Jarvee is running both of my accounts. If you'd like further details, I'd be happy to share them with you. But these are the main things I've changed on the business account that I think were causing instagram to bog down.

-I try and minimize my actions via the app. I really only do posts, try to engage messages, watch stories, and comment. I keep everything else to a minimum. Jarvee isn't doing any commenting, posting, or story watching for me. So I feel these actions are pretty safe.

-I've switched to doing unfollowing from roughly 8am - 4pm and following from 5pm to 1am. Also using the randomizer to fluctuate these times.

-Follow tool is doing around 325 follows per day. Unfollow about 280. Have both increasing their operation count 1-3 per day. Days are switched up each week using the randomizer.

-Increased the delay between each actual action when an operation is run. Currently have these set at 20-30 seconds. I believe the default is around 15.

-No longer use the "Mute after follow" option. Another poster mentioned this. I did have this set to 100% so every time Jarvee followed someone they were immediately muted. This kept my feed really clean. But I think this might be a major reason the account was flagged. It def wouldn't make sense for someone to immediately mute an account they just followed. I now have the Mute tool itself running about 190 per day. Lots of randomization like I mentioned before.

These are just some changes I could remember off the top of my head. Again, I am no expert. But I really think using all the randomization tools Jarvee offers is a big part of staying under the radar. I'm sure they are still well aware I'm using a bot. But at least utilizing all these tools you aren't holding a big red sign that says I'm a bot. Hell, maybe I still am. But it's definitely smaller than other accounts I see.

within the last days follow block went down to ~5% of accounts, today the block hit 90% of all accounts... javree + dedicated proxies...

Same. Woke up to lots of red flags and panicking a little...

 

[sobepromotions]

My account is follow blocked also. All was very conservative. 250 follows a day 500 likes. Never more And often less. I mute after follow and I unfollow during the day also.

Jarvee updated on the 2nd or 3rd. So my guess it did something bad in that update. Anyone NOT update theirs and get blocked?
I also noticed that tonight only. Jarvee liked a few posts and followed 7 people AFTER midnight. I have it shut off by 1130pm. So that's slightly odd.
I wonder of jarvee goes off of your computers time or time given by IG. I'm sure its computer time. Right...

Everyone is going to wake up to blocks. It's going to be crazy in the morning on this thread.

I´m having the same issue as you guys. But I make my own proxies with a raspberry pi and real home addresses, never got a block for the last year using jarvee with several accounts.
I´m very sure is not related to proxies. Instagram made some changes again and now they are banning bots (the behavior detection probablyl is beta and improving that´s why some real users not using automation are also getting blocks).
Botting is going to get a lot lot harder now, no matter what kind of proxy you use, they know you are botting and they are implementing bans on a lot of suspicious behavior from bots.

 

[neoxdz]

same for me here, 95% of my accounts have follow block!

 

[CREAMLLC]

Woke up to 7/8 of my accounts Follow Blocked using FL. Only using Follow/Unfollow and auto DM functions. Using BlazingSEO dedicated proxies.

4 of the accounts have had blocks for 2-3 days already. I just had my main verified account get unblocked after 3 weeks. This is getting nasty.

I had some custom bots not on jarvee that went at the same time.

time?

 

[neoxdz]

what do you guys suggest to bypass this? i think there's nothing we can do, other than wait.

i guess you gave yourself the best answer possible right now

 

[instaants]

Wait it out. This whole thing is probably related to the instagram outage which is highly publicized. Just google instagram outage and read a little guys.

I'd be interested in trying (and eventually paying for) this. I have 150 client accounts and growing. Anything that helps quality is appreciated!

I'd love some more information on your tool. Thanks in advance.

Just got this from my proxie provide

This is not a proxy-related issue; so it does not matter if you use dc, residential or mobile proxies. Instagram made some changes on their end recently, and apparently, their new server-based algorithm assigns an Overall Risk Score to each account. The risk score reflects analysis of a broad range of possible signs of an attempt to build an ad network, and in this sense, they check the followings:

timestamp; high-risk email address; email first seen; IP address; IP user type; geolocation checks; account registration date; user content; metadata of each posted image; link in bio; any sign that indicates a programmatic behavior.

To avoid getting the accounts flagged I suggest you use only one proxy per IG account, run only 80-100 follows a day, take note of which account goes with which proxy and avoid accessing them from other devices/IPs.

At this point, I suggest resting your accounts for 48-72 hours and give up on automation for 2-3 weeks. Try to stay calm and see how this goes. Many people are saying this is an IG outage so you can use this to keep your customers cool - https://downdetector.com/status/instagram.

If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know. Thank you for being our customer.

All of my accounts are follow blocked for the last 3 days. Using BlazingSEO proxies. Going to be switching proxy provider today.
