Switching will not directly affect the Instagram algorithm in terms of content promotion but indirectly gain better algorithmic trust and enhance account security.
Even though I am using vpn with a different location than mine, I am seeing notifications from IG app in my native language. I don't know how they know it!
Instagram seems detects it through several subtle indicators, maybe you downloaded the app from your country’s store?
No, google play store. but it seems the app uses other ways than self declared country and VPN to find location.
I asked some guys experienced, it might because the IP address is not clean or the VPN mode is not set Global, hope it can help you.
Yeah, Instagram’s algorithm factors in location for content discovery, especially when showing posts and Reels to users in their Explore tab or suggesting local content.
Not related to ip. The app uses other ways to understand my location than IP. The VPN is safe enough.
Yeah, there are a lot of subtle parameters, like the timeline selected on the phone, etc etc.
Actually, posting from computer doesn't affect reach, device fingerprints and IP addresses do. But I prefer to use anti-detect cloud phone + proxy, cause Ins is mobile-first and features are more complete.
oh ok appreciate it i didnt know that ill give it a shot
yeah, it's one effective trick.
if your account is aged: 1–3 posts per day is safe. stories can be posted more frequently (3–5/day). new account need warm up first.
exactly, for beginners, competitors are the best learning objects
Yeah, but how you will make sure your target audience in a specific niche will see your posts to make then engage with you, when hashtags nowadays become useless?
