How to scale automation on instagram and get rid of action blocks?

[wezaluketek]

Hi!

Starting my journey on instagram automation was years ago, as my knowledge were growing I felt confident about knowing instagram algorithm. However for over a year I feel inconstance about it. From my notes I that I have been collecting for years I can see I was able to grow a lot of accounts from scratch to be able to perform hundreds follows daily per account. I will try to be specific about my case.



I perform follow actions on pc browser and I didn't plan at least for now to switch to mobile app (yes I am aware mobile devices are less suspicious for social media) I run 100+ accounts daily with follow actions starting the bot more or less at the same time. I use residential proxy yes I do but my thoughts point to moving to mobile proxy.



What I've noticed? - Besides commonly known action blocks for follow activity instagram logout my account while bot performs the follow proces, after logging in back I don't have any action blocks I can follow again, but instagram wouldn't logout me for no reason, right?


What 'method' I've been using? - Starting from scratch 10-40 follows per queue I am increasing amount of follows about +10 every 3-5 days of actions (slowly but effective for me) I have a day of action and day of break so one cycle is 2 days. Now I am peforming tests for 3 day cycle 1 action and 2 days of break after action day. In this way I was able to grow multiple accounts to hundreds follow per queue daily.


Some real examples of the issue I have: Following the method I described above I currecntly have at least 20+ accounts that were able to perform 100 or even 150 follows per queue, but currently getting action blocks while my bot didn't even performed 50 follows. I remind it was on residential proxy, but I didn't mention it doesn't matter if I have 1 or 3 accounts per ip. I barely never got any account suspended it's just action blocks.



As was said before I wonder about switching from residential to mobile, but have some thoughts about it.

- Will mobile proxy look suspicious in pc browser environment for instagram?

- For scale I have (100+ accounts daily) what I should look for? I am aware proxy market have a lot to offer, but for that scale is there any chance to don't pay thousands dollars just for proxy? (my current residential price per ip is 4$/30 days)

If there's anything else worth to mention please let me know. I will really appreciate any tips and answers, thank you.

You must understand that Instagram detects not only the proxy but also the device you are using. Simply changing the proxy won’t be enough to trick Instagram. I have been working with Instagram automation since 2012 and manage tens of thousands of accounts for various purposes.





Here are some options:


1. Using a mobile device and changing IP


You can change your IP by toggling your mobile network on and off. There are tools that allow you to log into virtually unlimited accounts from a single phone.


2. Automation software


Specialized programs can automatically perform all the necessary actions for you.





Regarding proxies, you can use a single mobile proxy and change the IP within it.

Not at all!

Build ypur own proxy farm, Other than that, the quality of IPs are more pricey against residential

Great advice

I didn't mention that before but I am aware social media doesn't only detects ip. I took it as obvious factor.

This topic really caught my attention I already read some topics about it and seems like right way. As I can see it might get expensive but it's probably worth it. Are there any recommended threads on the forum about building mobile proxy farm?

Apart from that can we assume my issue is proxy related or maybe something else? Based on described problem in first message.

Yes. Checkout the marketplace here. I know at least 2/3 people sell solutions for it.

A mobile proxy with an antidetect should do well. I think I saw theres a company that makes an antidetect mobile which, theoretically, when paired with a mobile proxy and a captcha solver, should fix your issues

Thank you guys. Really appreciate everybody's tips

There is no company , or anything public that sells mobile/app automation feature , might be mobile browser but not more than that

I know at least one anti-detect browser developer which also has an official app for smartphone users so there's that. As for a sort of multi-tool app, yeah no. That'll mostly be proprietary software.

Honestly I couldn't find as well any thread with tips of creating mobile proxy farm on your own. Of course I found some threads of people asking how to create it. I know I've got few choices of types of devices, software and other realted stuff. I just hoped there is anything that explain every aspect from someobdy who has his own farm.

To scale Instagram automation and avoid action blocks:

1. Start slow and increase activity gradually.
2. Use quality tools that mimic human behavior.
3. Spread actions over time, avoiding bursts.
4. Diversify engagement across posts, stories, and IGTV.
   This reduces spammy behavior and keeps your account safe.

Hey man, could you go into detail about these tools?

What's the best captcha solver you have used?

Ive had success with 2captcha before. Worth checking out.

Sounds good. I will give it a try.

Staggering start times instead of running all bots at once could reduce flags. Insta picks up on mass activity happening at the same time. Also, rotating user agents or switching between different browser fingerprints might make your automation look more human. As for proxies, mobile is definitely the move for long-term scaling, but running them on a PC browser might still raise suspicion since Instagram expects mobile IPs to come from mobile devices. You could try Android emulators like BlueStacks, LDPlayer or a headless mobile browser setup to match the environment better.
If you’re running M/S, You can use Fanzella . It handles bulk accounts, MassDM, and reposting without constant bans. Unlike basic bots, it’s built for scaling smooth and safe, plus it works perfectly with mobile proxies.

I don't believe emulators can help. Emulators usually are not build for privacy and social media can easily detect device is emulator. About using mobile proxies on pc I'm confused because I honestly believe it doesn't matter there was said

Not at all!

So as long instagram can't track me in other ways I think usage of mobile proxy in browser environment won't affect.
