Your ban was not related to those settings for sure. If you haven't added any links on your accounts (or did any other major changes), then something else out of your control caused the ban in my opinion.

can confirm. I'm using similar settings and they're working fine. They aren't aggressive at all, you could even push it a bit further and still be safe, but it's always better to keep it a little lower.

To contact IG you guys have to log in from a phone.
After clicking that you don't "agree" with the ban, you'll have to input your username, mail and the country you're writing from. After applying for an account back, you'll immediately be prompted by IG auto-response mail that you have to include a photo of yourself holding a paper with your name and the number they give you in that mail.
They'll review your case, but only after you sending that picture.
In most cases, you'll be unbanned.
I guess the idea behind this is to somehow combat spam, since no-one would apply back for a spam account, but since the spam-detection is somehow automated, even normal can fall into the ban hammer and they know that. That's why you'll always have the option to apply back for it.
Regarding the picture:
Well, they can use it for face detection if future and stuff, but I guess the main reason is to sort out those who are really interested in getting an account back and those who would apply but not really care. Never heard of anyone not getting his account back. I guess they're doing it right. I don't really think IG is against botting, they're more against spamming and if you fail to have proper settings then it ends up being your fault for being recognized as violating the TOS with bad settings.

Blaming the bot is not the way to go. Its like I sell PC games online and never deliver the product and blame it on my PC.

There are to ways, especially this one that will help you get your account banned.
1. Reporting that the account has been hacked will surely get you, your account back. You can contact their customer support and when they reply you, you can send them your picture with you, holding some few written stuff on a piece of paper for them to really verify if you're the one.
Goodluck

Actually it can be the bot. I manually follow lot of people in just a few min for a brand new acc and I never had any bans by now.
What all of you are failing to see is that a bot can be detected not only by how much are you following and unfollowing. There are other big factors that are coming into play that the most bot makers won't admit and will always say its your proxy or settings, etc.
First question. How do you log in? Do you always copy and past the username and password?
I don't think so. So accounts logging in constantly with pasting the pass and username will be a red flag.
Next question. How do you follow people? Do you just log in your browser and write the url for every acc and get there directly?
Again, I don't think so.
What we all are forgetting is that the Social media is trying the best to combat bots and are making there algorithms better and better and instead the bot makers to accuse people like you are not owning a bot is just a ridiculous and outargues. They should admit that they are behind and start working on improving the bot to mimic even the smallest detail of a human interaction on the given networks.
I know this is for instagram but I will tell you that all of my twitter account where suspended in the same time after I decided to close and update FollowLiker.
Have in mind:
-I was multiple sources of provider for proxies.
-I was running multiple niches
-I was running with multiple settings depending of the niche
-I was using different hosting
-I was using different domain provider
I can prove that all of my 400 acc where banned when I turn on the FL after the update, its on the log files.
And what from FL have said is that it was becouse of the proxies. I know its always easy to blame the proxies lol but Lot of the accounts I have are using the same proxies for like a year.
Dude, never use settings that are used by the masses. They can see a pastern, make your own settings that are unique and keep them for your self.

You are talking about twitter here. You did not mention that in the screenshot you showed me
.Twitter said your tweet or retweet looks spammy. Posting tweet on multiple account with the same website link every time will make twitter see such as spamming. It has nothing to do with FL, if you do the same thing manually, you will get the same result.

@wizard04: FL - and all the other, better bots out there - store the cookies/login sessions (just like a browser or mobile app), so you don't login to the accounts over and over again, until you keep those cookies, you stay logged in, that's one thing less to worry about
as long as how exactly the bot follows the accounts, that i wouldn't know
could the tool mimic human behaviour better? i guess so, but there's ain't no such thing as mimicing human behaviour 100%
i also don't think that there are the proxies to blame though
something might got leaked while you were doing the update, maybe - and this is a very big maybe - the tool wasn't shutting down properly and your real ip got leaked somehow, the accs were got connected by the same ip, that's practically the only way in your case - keeping in mind all your points - to lose that many accs and all of your accs at once
i think FL is right about that it was an ip issue, but not because of the proxies, that is my hunch

There are other signs that are leading to FL being the issue not only with twitter also with FL, I don't know what exactly but longing in certainly is a big factor in it.
Well that message is and automated one and of course I am not spamming, I have new accounts that didn't even tweeted yet and still got the same massage.
I am really pissed, you are just trying to blame everything expect admitting there is probably something wrong with FL.

That message is very specific. Posting the same website link constantly on multiple accounts will get them connected. You have been using the software for a long time and updating regularly without problem, the software login once.
I'm not blaming, I'm very sure it's not FL. The first time you sent me PM, my reply started with me sympathizing with you. It's very unfortunate that you think that way, we test things to ensure there is no problem before replying customers.
Once again, I'm sorry you lost your account and I'm not blaming you. You contacted me and I left everything and went all the way to test things out for 2 straight days before presenting my findings to you. I was trying to assist in every possible way.
I think I have sent you multiple PMs concerning this. If you want to discuss this further please PM me, you can also send me your team viewer details.
