Building iPhone farm in Australia (Remote Access for filipino VA's)

[johnbennett]

I used an iPhone for a while service tends to be pricier and more cumbersome. Android is generally better. I agree with what you said, but I’d definitely recommend going Android.

Aren’t clickers extremely easy to detect? App developers (and even websites opened in Safari) can see the origin of a click, and it's different for real touch (type = direct, different radius), compared to clicks from clickers (type = pointer, fixed radius)

I only know only the technical side tho. Maybe apps don't really bother with it

From apps' side click (or touch) is just (x, y) coordinates received from OS. Only OS knows the source of this click. In case of nomix clicker the source is AccessibilityTouch (basically, a computer mouse). iOS doesn't tell the apps whether it's enabled or not.

One very good post but nobody objected to 3 accounts per device? Okay, 3 might work on ios , but we've never heard back from the op, any updates?

From my experience, using an iPhone can sometimes be more costly and less flexible. Android devices often give you more options and are easier to work with in many cases, so they can be a more practical choice depending on your needs.

Good choice going with iPhones for IG and TikTok farming. Both platforms treat iOS traffic better in terms of trust score, and you'll see fewer bans compared to Android emulators or cheap Androids.
For the remote access part with VAs in the Philippines, here's what I'd recommend:

• Dedicated remote management platforms that support real physical iPhones - your VAs access the actual device screen through a browser. Way better than TeamViewer or AnyDesk which are laggy and not built for phone farms
• Network setup: Each phone should ideally have its own mobile proxy or at minimum rotate IPs. Shared WiFi = shared IP = mass bans
• Device management: iPhone 8 or SE 2020 are the sweet spot. Cheap enough to scale, powerful enough for IG/TikTok

For the VA workflow:

• Create SOPs for each task (posting, engaging, DM responses)
• Give VAs access to specific devices only, not the whole farm
• Monitor remotely - a good platform will let you see all device screens at once

I run a similar setup and the key lesson was: invest in proper remote management early. Trying to coordinate VAs over screen sharing apps is a nightmare past 5 devices.

Is the iPhone 8 still a good choice for TikTok in 2026, even though it only supports iOS 16?

but performance on ios can be a bit hit or miss, especially with multiple devices. lag will be a pain in the ass for your va's, making everything take longer and increase the risk of errors in posting

That's 100% true. That's why having a separate controlling device per iPhone is much better. Faster control, complete freedom in access granting. This is the reason I suggested to use clickers above.

It's a very bad choice, actually. Multiple accounts can be set up on newest iPhones without any JB. Those who work with it for years know exactly how to do it, and it's not even some secret.

Yes, you can create clones of the Instagram app on iOS, so you can have multiple accounts on one device.
