Hi Guys,

Something very strange happened me today, I've already created new account with this method and never found any issue, just this week, hope is not due to some new updates:

1. Created 5 new IG account in womens fashion niche with unique gmail account for each and 1 NEW Vodafone SIM on 1 NEW Galaxy phone that I used to make all accounts one after the other.

2. Made a few like, 1 comments and 5/10 follows.

3. Sign in today after a 2/3 days to warm them up again and after a few likes on each they got banned instantly one after the other, hell..

4. Filled up the contact form on IG to get them back and they are asking me to send a picture of myself with a code written on a paper that I should hold in my hand.

I've done this a few times in the past months with no issue and now I don't understand what was the mistake I made.

I've created one new account same phone and same SIM but again it was banned instantly.

Any idea what was the mistake I made?
 
What about the ips? You can't just create an unlimited amount of accs on the same ip. :)
Also if you created them from the same phone, the device id is the same, which is another way for ig to track you.
 
I make maximum 5 accounts per phone per sim card, therefore IP is the same.
In the past I thought that IG had 5 accounts limit per sim per phone. Is this no more valid?
Should I create no more than 1 account per sim per phone? This would become a huge hassle...

I really don't get the issue if it's related to number of accounts or my activity which was nothing in my opinion, a bunch of likes and follows for each account.
 
So you make 5 accs on the same ip, then do you change the ip? Even creating 5 accs on the same ip especially after one another is a bit of a stretch. I wouldn't create more than one account per ip.

Also is it the same phone, only you switch the sim cards or different phones? Because if it's the same phone, the device id is the same for all the accs you create and i mentioned above that's another thing ig can use to track you.
And/or maybe you leave a pattern when you're profiling the account. Have you put any urls into the bio/website field?

Activity didn't cause this for sure, it was only the trigger. On ig a lot of acc appears to be fine until you start to use them, that's when you get banned even after one action (follow, like, upload, profile edit etc).

I'm not sure about the most recent limits, but if it is or was 5 acc per phone, it doesn't mean that you need to make that many, try to stay below the radar and don't hit the limits.
 
Thanks for the help HoNeYBiRD.

As you said, i think the ip was the issue, because the phone is new and I never created any account before.
I usually try to use phones without any IG use in the past.

Maybe it was because I made them one after the other with the same sim connected to the same IP, I will try to change the IP next time.

No URL and No bio, this was warming up phase.

I've tried to follow the steps of a genuine user (get a new phone and a new sim) that create a few accounts for himself :) but I think I made it in a hurry.

Just do it. I did this for 5 accounts and all I did was simply space the emails out by 24-48 hours.

Got a reply from a different person each time. Got activated each time.

Yes, just do this! It doesn't even matter what you write to them, it is all automated. If you made your accounts from the same IP, your IP is probably flagged. Next time try creating them on cellular network.
 
if they're on the same sim, IG can track you and ban your accounts.
 
It's probably safer to use different devices on different IPs for IG account creation.
