IG new UNFOLLOWING limits / Temp blocks
- Thread starter longjohnlimber
- Start date
This is so unbelievable. I used to follow more than 6000 ppl in two days, and unfollow more than 6600 ppl in one day!! Now with these new rules I just can unfollow 600 people in one day?!! This is soooo terrible!! I can not do anything with this new limitation. I hope this limitation would be temporary, otherwise I'm gonna say goodbye to instagram!
Buddy with those statements you made right here... I believe you should be glad you somehow got forced to slow down. following 6000 and unfollowing 6600 is VERY high numbers. You where asking to be banned I guess.
Right now I am unfollowing 210 for today, and sofar we are good. The test comtiunes with slightly increase in numbers of unfollows and regulations in delay.. Once I get a positive result through a couple of days, I will post delays. Then you will have a slight idea.

I think the trigger for temporary block is also individual.
I have 5 accs and had same follow/unfollow settings. One acc had temporary bans everyday, i have reduced limits for this one and now its fine.
You definitely CAN'T be passing under the radar with multiple accounts, unless your limits before the changes were already ridiculously low. Under 600 or at maximum of 800.

Instagram has really been limiting it for people to grow their accounts recently. One week ago I had no problem unfollowing 3,000 people in one day.
Now I can't even unfollow 300
Now I can't even unfollow 300
I figured out that you can still unfollow rapidly (with low intervals), and be blocked at 250-300ish, if you're blocked for 12 hours, you will still have more time during the day to unfollow more 250-300ish and therefore maintain a 600ish unfollow rate, not great, but at least decent. The limit does not seem to be related strictly to speed, but really to how many people you unfollow in a specific period.
I don't know if that makes much sense, but I am perceiving a few things now. Still testing throughout my accs.

i can confirm, exactly what you said but unfollow 300-400 and than again 300-400 so anywhere between 600-800 per day.
Buddy, I used to unfollow more than 6000 ppl in one day for a very long time and I never get banned. (I just got temporary blocks for following too much, thats all)
I hope IG remove this limitation soon, otherwise that would be end of Instagram for me.
You can kiss Instagram your goodbye because, if anything, they will only be making things tougher. They are ran by facebook now, facebook has made it impossible to breakthrough.
So you're saying quickly hit the temp block and unless it's a 24hour ban you wait 12 hours later do it again?
Is there any way you can add me on skype? I want to discuss things i've tried that may work well with your theories. Also I know my account is new but I've been on BlackHat since 2009 and I'm not new to social media.
Let's talks Skype : islusho anyone who wants to work on limits can add me too.

So the limitations are not more than 400 unfollows per day?
