Here are the outcomes:
Yes. Can you ask him to give us his phone number to call him when we need.
And also, ask him why they impose so many limits on IG nowadays.
Unfortunately, I can't share his phone number. You need to have your Meta Expert assigned to you.
They calculate the limits based on average account behavior. If you behave like a regular user would, you should not reach any limits. If you use any services, methods for increasing reach, getting new followers etc, you will of course get soft banned. They impose those limits because of increasing number of smart bots on the platform (using AI and such).
That's awesome! You could ask about upcoming features for creators, how Meta plans to improve engagement tools, or if there are any specific strategies for growing an account within their community.
They gave me suggestions based on my account (did a review of my bio, of my content and based on that suggested what I can improve). Generally speaking, for average account, sweet spot is posting 3 reels per week for reaching new followers; 1 carousel a week and 5 stories a day for staying engaged with your followers. They are not at liberty to talk about upcoming features for creators. However (and that is not their suggestion but mine), find alex193a on X. He shares upcoming features based on what he finds in the Instagram beta app code.
Facebook accounts with permanent ads limit.
Please tell them, There should be an option to appeal. It's not fair they permanently restrict people's ads account.
We did not discuss Facebook as he's an Instagram expert.
That’s awesome! Ask them about algorithm trends, monetization updates, avoiding shadowbans, Reels vs. static post priority, and any big changes coming. Let us know what you learn!
Reels are great for reaching new followers, static posts are great for staying engaged with your followers. Regarding big changes, we were discussing how they will remove Highlights from below the bio and move it onto a separate tab. At this time, it looks like they will remove all the icons (covers), and use your first story as the cover. Then, users will be able to click through the highlights just like now.
- Community Engagement: Can you share more about the goals of the invite-only specialized community on Instagram? How can creators benefit from participating?
- Support for Creators: What specific resources or support does Meta provide to creators within this community?
We are specifically asked in the group not to share any information from the group outside, so I can't go into much detail. To get invited, you will receive an email from Meta Scaled Creator Programs. There is an invite-only Instagram profile, where they share tips, tricks, talk about new features, and connect creators. They also have a broadcast channel where they share important updates. There's also a invite-only group chat, where you can chat with other creators as well as Instagram employees, this one I find the very useful as a lot of interesting info is shared there. There are also weekly Zoom calls between Instagram employees and creators. On top of this, you get assigned your own Meta expert (just as I did), and you have a 30 minute session to discuss anything you want. They will also be available for you to reach out to them later if you have any follow ups.
Yes,
* Can you ask them if Instagram is really as fragile as many make out, eg, if you log into your account on a computer then your phone or travel to a different country and use Instagram in a cafe wifi ect... can this really throw of your reach ect...
* Does Instagram take mass report bots seriously, if your business account is being targeted by mass reports from a rival business is Instagram advanced enough to tell its probably an Indian phone farm... or will this seriously fuck up your reach. If so can you contact meta and get some kind of mass report bypass flagged on to your account assuming your verified and pay for ads?
* is there still a limit on how many account you can make on one device if so what is it in 2025?
For Instagram to mark your account as based in a different country, you need to stay there for at least couple of weeks. So usually, short travels won't affect your reach. More likely than not, it's a different time zone that affects your reach the most.
For the other two questions, they were not at liberty to answer them. If you pay for Meta subscription, you get way better support than free accounts, that's what I can say. I definitely discuss a lot of issues with Meta support frequently and it helps to have them available immediately through chat.
