Periodically IG conducts large-scale sweeps in which many accounts are suspended, then the outcomes are evaluated. In other words, they test different algorithms; each round of suspensions is treated as an experiment that is subsequently analyzed. When they are not actively banning accounts...

I would like to know what reason they cite for the account block “Account Integrity” or some other justification?

To my knowledge, the browser still does not offer a full-featured stories editor, and it is unlikely that you can add stickers there - although I may be mistaken. All of that functionality is implemented in the mobile app editor. A cloud-based phone option would likely be convenient for you, or...

Additionally, there is an option called "Trial Reels" that may be useful. However, it is not available on all accounts; in most cases it can be used instantly only via the API. Importantly, this feature only provides a modest boost to Reels. New accounts, approximately during the first 90...

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about the forum rules. For example for Instagram thread. If we are discussing new Instagram features or updates (for example something new seen in the mobile app), is it allowed to reference or link to news websites or tech articles as a source of...

As someone who is familiar with the developers of the programs you mentioned, and as someone who develops my own scripts for account registration, I can say that it is a combination of factors that influences the outcome. Several factors have been correctly identified here. If you simply...

It largely depends on the accounts themselves. Some accounts can send messages without any issues, while others, quite frankly, get blocked immediately and become hidden. So, you know, it’s necessary to test different accounts to find the ones that will work best for you. This has become...

The person who wrote above that the API tools have died again is, of course, being humorous. In reality, no, they haven't died. Unfortunately, one could say they are experiencing problems because replicating telemetry from real devices has become very challenging. It's not easy to do. The most...

Considering how many proxy firms closed at the end of 2025, I am certainly afraid that the quality will degrade and it will become more difficult to find reliable proxies. Moreover, there are various issues related to this, such as the telemetry of devices, the history of IP addresses, and the...

As far as I know, Instagram has a feature called Activity, and even more specifically, a function for downloading your data to get all your information. You can check and see what actions were taken, in relation to which users, and even on what dates these actions were performed. You can find...

They write it this way in the building on purpose. I have seen many accounts where they write like this, and then the block is removed without any issues. Your reason for the block is Community Standards, and such reasons can be lifted.

Thanks Naveed, appreciate the welcome. Yeah, automation and data can definitely help with outreach and scaling. Especially when you start aggregating data from multiple sources and building pipelines around it.

I have experience successfully recovering hundreds of Instagram accounts. And I will tell you that, first of all, you shouldn't despair. Your reason for being blocked is absolutely not critical. It's not copyright issues, and it's not child sexual exploitation, which are the problems people are...

Recently saw people talking about something called Instagram “Secret Friends”. From what I understand it looks similar to Close Friends, but the weird part is that the feature isn’t actually available to normal users. It mostly appeared in a celebrity promo case and nowhere else. Which makes...

Hey everyone, My name is Michael, full-stack developer with about 10+ years working on SaaS platforms and backend systems. Most of my work is focused on API engineering, automation infrastructure, and building reliable systems that process large amounts of data in production environments...
