I follow only 200 per day, and ive been doing that for month. 2 days ago i hit 6.1k and can't follow anymore. Also i never got any notice about spam block or anything.I assume its 7,500 in 24 hours. Maybe you didn't wait a full 24 hours?
It could possibly be that some of the people you are following are private so they have to approve of it, which would mean that they don't show up on your following list if they haven't accepted or declined your follow request!!! So I think so limit is still 7500!I thought it was 7,500 max following. But now i hit 6,100 following and can't follow anymore. I thought maybe i hit limit per day but no i tried a day after and still i can't follow anyone. What's going on on your accounts guys?
im not able to follow anyone with my FL for past 2 days, it unblocks after 1 day and after following 100 it says you reach the limit.
my delay is 121-135 !!!!
I have no idea why anybody would let their following count hit that high. Regardless of your amount of followers you lose all respect and creditability having that number looking so high. Manage your count properly and unfollow as much as you follow. Simple.
I tried following 100 accounts in a day and my account got blocked, they keep asking for my number and when I enter, the account still does not get activated. I cannot share any post, like or comment on any pics nor able to follow anyone.
You can bypass the hourly follow/unfollow limit if you do it on several devices/programs...
example:
You run out of follows on your phone app, so you then use another integral partner app and max that out and so on. It works for iPads and iPhones to my knowledge. I would follow on my phone until i couldn't then open pad gram on my iPad and follow until i couldn't then open instagram on my iPad and follow till i couldn't etc etc... you can do this for however many instagram related apps you can find. My account is 3 years old but I've done this on new accounts so iknow it works.
It works for unfollowing too.
Let me know it this helps!
What app are you using on iOS?
I assume its 7,500 in 24 hours. Maybe you didn't wait a full 24 hours?
