I’m using 2 Android phones, with 2 accounts per platform on each phone: TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
I’m currently on day 5 of warming them up. So far everything looks good, I’m seeing ads, a lot of niche related content, and mostly US content.

Each phone uses its own dedicated US mobile proxy over Wi-Fi, with no SIM card installed.
I’m planning to connect both phones to my PC via scrcpy over USB. I’m not planning to automate anything, I just want to control the phones from my PC for normal manual use: scrolling, continuing the warm-up, uploading content, replying to comments, switching accounts, etc.

Is using scrcpy like this generally a safe approach for long-term accounts?
Also:
- Do I need to physically use/touch the phones from time to time, or is manual control through scrcpy enough?
- Are there any extra precautions I should take to keep the accounts as stable and low-risk as possible?
- I’m planning to keep these accounts long term, so I’m more interested in stability than aggressive scaling.
- Is there any particular settings on scrcpy I should know of?

In general scrcpy is not detectable unless automated.

> with no SIM card installed.

TikTok reads the SIM card number, so this will be caught pretty easily I would expect.

I've seen in this article that SIM card is not needed for TikTok, at least that's what OP said about it. Have you tested it yourself?

Scrcpy is fine for manual management. But it's still Android, it won't have same results as you would get from an iPhone though for a beginner setup is decent

Any way to automate stuff on an iPhone? :P

Yeah, if I scale, I will do it with iPhones, but for testing, I think Androids will be enough :) What do you think about phone physical movements? Should I move them daily, or is it okay for them to stay in the rack? :D
 
the thing that gets you with a rack setup isnt scrcpy, its that the sensors go flat. accelerometer never moves, brightness never changes, taps landing on the exact same pixel every time. i pick mine up few times a week, carry them around the house on wifi, rotate the screen, let the gyro actually do something. costs nothing and the ones that sat untouched in the rack always aged worse for me

Scrcpy itself is fine for long term use as long as you’re just controlling the phones manually and not running any scripts.

Platforms care more about how the accounts behave than how you’re touching the screen.

We have the same problem now. We're testing different parameters to figure out what affects ban rate more, I will let know if we find out. So far we're playing around with randomizing gestures (we're using iPhone farm though, not Android). Physical movements is an interesting idea too, but that will be a tricky one on scale if it's true :D
