In the long term, I am interested in creating a large number of Instagram accounts. To see if this was possible, I first tried to generate an IG account using email for a random name. I first tried using an email on a custom domain that I just set up. I was also using a privacy browser on a VPS with a residential proxy attached to that browser profile. As soon as the account was created, Instagram suspended it.
Then I tried using a temp email address. I tried using a different browser profile on my VPS, and I tried using a browser on one of my own computers. It looks like no matter what I try, if I use an email address to sign up (instead of a phone number), the account just gets suspended immediately.
So what is the trick to getting Instagram to not suspend accounts immediately? Do you have to sign up using a phone? Since Instagram now filters out VOIP numbers, does this mean that software for bulk creation of Instagram accounts with SMS services no longer works?
I was able to create python/selenium software that successfully signs up with email verification, and integrates with a privacy browser and proxies, but this is useless if Instagram immediately suspends such accounts.
Comments or suggestions?
