Accounts going into suspicious activity without activity

I got an account disabled(banned) also without doing any actions, but on Jarvee. So, it's not JUST Gmt. It could either be proxies, or bots in general.

Do people still think IG doesn't know that you are logged in from a bot? I bet they can tell it instantly in a million ways

Likely your proxies. What a lot of people don't keep in mind is, that if you have other people on the same subnet as you (which you will, unless you own the whole brick), then if they're abusing their IPs, you're going to feel the effect of their non-sense. So if you have accounts just dropping offline while not even completing actions, it's due to either your past actions, or by someone else on your subnet fucking around (excuse my language).

Same. The only way to avoid other people's actions affecting your own actions is to try and separate yourself from the majority. That's why I always recommend people to do their own testing, and build their settings accordingly. Relying on someone else's numbers is just a recipe for failure.

My point is that accounts that I handle manually on the app, have no problems. Accounts that I handle with bots are getting "suspicious activity". Many here are reporting that their botted accounts are getting "suspicious activity" flags. So, if you want to know if you're affected. Stop and restart your bot(s). If you get flagged, you'll know it's the botted account. If nothing happens, well, then we have to get back to the drawing board and see why some are flagged and others are not. None of my accounts, apps or botted, run on proxies, since I run them from different computers at the client's office/home.


When was the last time you restarted them? Many here are reporting the same problem. Not all are run on proxies.

Thanks for explaining what you were trying to say. So it was more based on theory, I thought you might of knew something that I wasn't aware of yet. I typically only get PVs when adding accounts to a new proxy. Alot the people who are experiencing suspicious behavior, is because they're doing just that.. acting suspect.

People will be like "I'm only boting for 20 hours a day, only following 700+ people, unfollowing 400+, liking 300+ people, then throwing 100 DMs or comments on top of it, I don't understand why my accounts keep getting banned."

Does no one of you put in mind that maybe it's not just the proxies (the usual cause for nonperforming accounts) but Instagram's recent updates?

I don't understand what's happening. Everything is going fine for me

It's a combination of both, their updates are putting limits and blocks on different proxies. Hence why when running actions from a clean home IP, residential proxy or mobile proxy you won't notice any difference. Most changes have affected people on datacenter proxies if their subnet has been recently flagged. Best thing you could do if you're going to run an abundance of accounts and it's in your budget is to just buy your own subnet, then if for whatever reason your ips get flagged it would be by your own doing, and not someone else who is automating recklessly.

I don't even know what are you talking about.
Instagram updates of what? Most people are doing perfectly fine with their ig accounts no matter how many of them. I usually lose 1 out of 10 and accept it as part of the game. PV are asked now and then, but I haven't been asked for more than 2 or 3 in a lapse of several days or weeks.
Don't make a generalization out of a few complains.

Some of the accounts that I handle are on residential IP (home), no proxies at all. And they are getting hit when botted.

What you said is absolute truth. Nevertheless, if you're doing actions slowly and quietly, can't Instagram know you're using a bot despite that?

You're doing fine now and I'm happy for you. I'm just saying things might be changing and if not for you right now, maybe for others.

Honestly, I don't know if they can tell whether your using automation. I guess it would really depend on the software you're using, and whether it's doing actions in a way that's making it obvious. I'm pretty sure a lot of the public bots they can detect in one form or another, but some of the more better developed private bots can go undetected. I wouldnt doubt if they had a team that decompiles said public software, which makes its easy for them to be able to analyze them and detect them.

I've only used my home IP a handful of times, and every time I did everything went smooth and I was able to push the numbers to unfathomable limits. I don't like running any of my accounts like that though, and tend to stay away from automation on my home ip. That's the grand daddy right there, no need to even risk doing anything to get it blacklisted when you can just buy a residential or mobile IP.

I can understand what you're saying, however, I'm having a weird situation where I can use a bot, then get follow blocked after 40 followings and stop the bot. Right after I stop botting (few minutes later), I'm able to follow manually how many I want in a short period through all the day.

I'm on the same home IP while botting and not botting, so there most be something beyond my IP don't you think?

So it sounds like this is an across the board issue. I've been struggling as well this last month or so. Currently using FL. I read somewhere on here someone mentioning subnets, and getting your own. How exactly would that work? How much would it cost? I'm currently using dedicated Instagram proxies from Storm Proxies, and getting a fair amount of email code verification prompts through the software. What is the best course of action for me from here?
