How do agencies handle multiple Instagram accounts at scale?

I'm trying to understand what the current best practices are for managing multiple Instagram accounts without running into issues.
Some people say that each account should have its own fingerprint and IP address, so tools like GoLogin combined with a dedicated residential/mobile proxy for each account could be enough?

Others say that Instagram heavily favors real mobile device usage and that you should only run a small number of accounts per phone (I've read people mention around 4 accounts per device).

So how do agencies actually do this in practice?
Do they use browser profile tools like GoLogin plus dedicated proxies?
Do they maintain large numbers of physical phones?
Do they use phone farms or mobile device management systems?

I'd be interested in hearing from agencies or experienced account managers about what works reliably at scale and what Instagram seems to look at most closely (device, IP, behavior patterns, account age, etc.)

From what is mi experience Instagram cares more about natural behavior and account trust than any single factor.
most agencies focus on using real devices steady activity and aged accounts instead of trying to scale too fast.
good account history consistent usage and following Instagrams rules usually matter more than fingerprints or proxies alone.

They manage multiple accounts with phone farms. They have the budget to get multiple phones to use.
 
I've used both real phones and anti detect browsers to manage multiple IG accounts. What I noticed is both can work fine as long as you keep a consistent fingerprint and unique mobile proxy per account.

What matters MOST is account behavior. If you are automating actions you have to go very light and warm out the account first, then gradually increase.

it's farming.
 
I think they automate their accounts and so they can manage alot of accounts just by using that tool
 
most legit agencies just use Meta Business Suite + a few real phones for posting/approval, they don’t go crazy with fingerprints/proxies unless it’s grey/fragile accounts, IG cares way more about behaviour patterns than IP tricks anyway
 
A lot of agencies are using real devices now. Browser profiles and proxies still get used, but real device setups tend to be more stable. We've seen quite a few agencies switch over for that reason.
 
Companies often hire specialized services or phone farms to manage large numbers of accounts.
 
Most agencies I’ve seen don’t overthink it tbh, it’s more about clean setup + workflows than “limits”
use schedulers + separate logins per client and keep actions slow/consistent
once you start mixing devices/IPs or rushing actions, that’s when accounts start getting flagged
it’s more system than magic tool.
 
Agencies usually use scheduling tools and content calendars to manage many accounts together. planning content in advance saves a lot of time.
 
Phone farms are the only viable way to do it. Browser Instagram doesn't perform as well
 
Everybody has a different theory. The agencies making money usually aren't posting their setup on forums :D

Most people who have posted above, are running real businesses, who's services many real agencies use, including mine, to run their setups. So the mentioned things are not just theories, but actual different ways of doing it, which different agencies use.

From what I've seen, the biggest misconception is that agencies succeed because of proxies, fingerprints, or some special technical setup. Those things get discussed a lot, but they're usually only a small part of the picture.

The agencies that manage large numbers of accounts successfully tend to focus heavily on account quality, consistent usage patterns, content quality, and operational processes. Instagram appears to evaluate a combination of signals rather than a single factor. Account history, engagement quality, posting behavior, policy compliance, login consistency, and user interactions all seem to matter.

I would also be careful about assuming there is a universal 4 accounts per device rule. What works for one operation may fail for another because the overall account behavior is different.

In my experience, when accounts get restricted, it's often because of activity patterns that look unusual or inauthentic rather than because a specific proxy or device setup wasn't used. That's why you'll see people with expensive setups still run into problems while others manage multiple accounts with relatively simple infrastructure.
 
Managing multiple Instagram accounts seems much easier with scheduling and team collaboration tools However I think staying organized and maintaining consistent content quality across all accounts is probably the biggest challenge for most agencies

Ads power + Onimator + Inflowave
 
their main power is having a lot of money. They invest a lot into hardware and software, something that a solo person might not realistically do. They also never reveal their secrets, unless you get someone from an agency to spill their secrets

Most agencies focus on consistent, human-like account management rather than trying to optimize around platform detection systems.
In practice, the biggest factors are usually account age, content quality, engagement, and normal usage patterns. Larger agencies often use approved social media management tools and dedicated devices for teams, rather than relying on aggressive scaling setups.
At scale, behavior patterns tend to matter more than any single technical factor.
 
As an agency owner, antidetect browsers like GoLogin with 4G/5G mobile proxies work perfectly for client management. Physical phone farms are mostly for mass automation or heavy manipulation niches nowadays. For clean client work, just map each profile to a dedicated mobile session, mimic natural engagement schedules, and keep your actions human.
