Automation / VA Device control method updates?

Remolino said:

I run my own mass reels farm on iOS via automation. I would avoid using remote control solutions with Instagram as they can actually detect screen recording, VNC, airplay and more.

If you’re ditching API automation, a solid phone farm is your best bet. Android with app cloners and good mobile proxies can run lots of accounts safely, though iOS might get a slight trust boost.

If you’re mass-posting reels, check out real device automation. The “Want to Buy” section on BHW is a good place to find someone who already has it or can build it. Stay up-to-date with this information by following tech blogs, YouTube, and Reddit, and then testing new apps and firmware on equipment.

I actually built a pretty decent setup in house, I currently have seven iPhones being controlled remotely on my server by VA's

Welcome back! For mass Reels posting, Android is more scalable and VA-friendly than iPhones. Use physical devices + 4G proxies for stability. Geelark/Socifly lack consistency at scale.

Hi all, long time BHW member- just sadly haven't used this site in awhile and wanted to see how things have progress or not.

I am a long term instagram blackhatter, have achieved over 1bn reach in the last year on oraganic traffic.


I'm currently looking for the bestway to mass post reels on a daily basis, I have VA's that do daily work for me and I could get them to also post on reels on accounts but want them to be in the U.S. I thought about doing an iPhone reel farm, I have a large stock on iPhone X's to 14's here and my idea was to get my VA's to login via RDP and do their work & logoff when finished- it seems like that isn't really plausible way to go, I'm guessing the best way is to go all andoid?

I have been trying out other methods, like Geelark, Socifly (instafly) and others but they all don't seem to be as stable as having physcial phones on hand.

Thank you

Most iphone automations are unstable and are not using the correct tweaks to emulate real user behavior (which automatically flags the account by IG and gives it shit views). Unless you have someone to program a phone farm for you, you could easily get someone local and delegate him like 10 phones with 20 accounts on each of them. Have all your videos on icloud and make him publish the videos which are afterwards deleted from the cloud. IMO it's cheaper for you to test a hypothesis this way (whether your content on scale goes viral, whether your accounts get banned etc.) and pay someone 1-2k in salary per month rather than pay a software dev company 10k for a solution that will no longer work in a month or so.

Good response I like this, I ended up building a few farms LOL, I built a iPhone X farm all jailbroken devices- and I also have a clean slate iOS 26 farm both running flawlessly!

Which they’re both VA ran, I have been thinking about using appium to see how it preforms but need to do some homework on it.

Instafly is good, but not great. Support is fairly bland and generic. also, I'm trying to get out of API automation. accounts don't stay on the bot for a long period of time. I have had some accounts go from zero to 10k in under a week from the bot, but just very time consuming. I have yet to have a solid accounts stay on more than 5 days without some sort of errors or perm ban.

I have heard about SuSocial, yet it is still an API base? I will look into it.
I know I could easily do an Andoid phone farm but I am aware that Meta favors iOS devices and typically gives them a better trust score off the bat, thats why I'm leaning on a iOS based system, it doesn't even have to be automated- I can have VA's hop on and do their tasks daily.

Congrats! Just in case you decide to try with newer iPhones and without jailbreak, let me know. Appium can be a real headache btw, I wouldn’t recommend.

If you plan on mass posting reels on a daily basis, then I suggest you look into a real device automation. Go to the "want to buy" section of blackhatworld and you will find someone that has it or can code it for you.
