IG new UNFOLLOWING limits / Temp blocks

[remters]

Over the last four days i've unfollowed 430+ each day on a 14k+ account. So no issues over here as of yet, looks like my follows are capping at around 200-300+ per day, haven't looked into it too much. Can anyone here invite me to a skype group so i can stay in the loop with this?

thats how it was for me for unfollowing for past 4 days with a 3.5k account, however today i got the temp block at 231 unfollowing, 12 hours into the 24 hour day.

i think what i do works best for me, what i do is when I'm about to unfollow I do slow movements in the app when scrolling between users to unfollow and when I'm about to unfollow when I make up my mind who to unfollow after when I stop scrolling around I wait 5 sec and then unfollow 1 person then wait and then unfollow the whole page but in between wait 5 to 10 seconds per person to avoid the block but I won't recommend to unfollow no more than 100 per hour.

Would this be the end of mass following/unfollowing?

Does anyone know if this temp ban is a 24-hour ban?

I've got banned for the first time EVER for mass unfollowing at my accs, IG has never, before, cared about the rate you unfollow people. Ridiculous, but we have to adapt. Anyway, we all foresaw BIG SHIT was coming when facebook bought this.

If the limit is -universal- and under 1000 per day, my business in instagram is done because I don't have resources ($$$) to invest in anything other than following/unfollowing... Unfortunate, to me.

They have the unfollowing way too sctrict.. Think these are the new limits or just a temp thing?

Since Instagram Ads are becoming bigger I think that we are gonna have to rely soon on paying ads for growth on Intsgram

Facebook became impossible to grow in the black hat way, you pay ads or get fast content or you are shit there.

I hope Instagram doesn't turn into that. Instagram Ads are expensive as fuck

idk why but my FL automatically only Unfollows abt 500 people a day. before it was at 1,2k.

Maybe FL updated itself for this? If so... then this makes the software even greater

FL can't unfollow if your accounts are temp blocked

I can't imagine getting a ban for unfollowing 350 per 24 hour period.. That's like 15 people an hour...Oh IG :/

 

[zaralearning]

I will follow this thread!

You got a ban for at least half a day.

The temp ban seems to be under 24 hours... And big accs are not excluded... I have a 60k acc which got hit as well... I'm testing out to see if unfollowing 1000 people in a day is still possible, considering that to unfollow 1000 ppl you'd need to unfollow about 40 ppl per hour, which should definitely be under the radar.

 

[lennyserrano]

I think I know why they did this as a standard now for everyone with the unfollow limits, it is since because of the new iPhone 6s with force touch display meaning the app knows how hard you press and if you do a lot of fast movements you will get the block I think so to avoid the block you need to go slow and take break in between 50 unfollow or so.

can someone add me to the skype group, need to stay updated thanks its: razorsharp_


also have a few burner accounts im willing to lose to figure out these settings

 

[danjohnson]

So does this mean these are the new limits for everyone?

 

[crystal1994]

You got a ban for at least half a day.

You're right.
I just checked and im temporarily blocked...
Holy shit.

What are we gonna do now? I cant keep following 1,5k a day and only unfollow 500... this doesnt work

It's not clear yet for me what are the new limits.
I had accounts temp banned after 250, after 300, after 350 and I have accounts still going after 450.

Either the roll-out is still ongoing or something is missing us.

 

[crystal1994]

I stopped FL now.
Will activate it again when things are clearer...
Not risking my Account

 

[eliybeats]

Wow.... This is pretty interesting. I thought I wa the only one having these issues... I noticed my engagement dropped in less than half, and that I was getting blocked for unfollowing. Anyone else have drops in engagement?

 

[Odinsupremacy]

Wow this will really change the game. Im terrified to unfollow anyone.
