Apologies for making a thread thats been probably made a lot of times, but recently got FL and I am not sure what are the best settings for this. Can anyone help?
Kudos, KenTZ. Great answer!
- Create a good bio.
- PVA your accounts.
- Read this guide.
- Set your accounts to within 50-80% of the limits and add 10-30 seconds to the delays.
- Set FL to sleep when you do.
- Set FL to stop one day a week.
- Read this method on scraping hundreds of images.
- Read this guide on uploading with FL.
- Go about your daily life.
- Because 9 steps are awkward.

I've recently started using FollowLiker too. So, I guess I'm qualified to answer your question.
If your account is new, take it slow. Don't post too many pictures. Don't do a mass follow/unfollow. When I first started using FollowLiker, these are the exact things I did with no problems till date.
I used to follow 100 to 150 people per day at 60 to 65 seconds interval at the beginning. I liked 200 photos per day. When your account is a week old, you can start following 400 to 500 people and like 400 to 500 photos a day. Once your account is over a month old, you can start following 1000 people a day. Don't unfollow and follow people on the same day. Follow for six days, and unfollow for one day. Don't unfollow more than 400 people per day until your account is a few months old.
I don't know about commenting/DM/scheduling photo upload because I haven't done it yet. I've read that these are the troublemakers that get you banned if not done right. I post pictures and comment manually.
I don't think commenting is a good idea, unless you can perfectly spin comments. Even then, you must change the spintax every week to avoid a ban hammer from Instagram. And I don't bother about the ratio. It only confuses me.
These were my settings when I first started out.
New account, a week old.
Follow settings:
Follow Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Follow Limit: 100 to 150.
Delay Follow: 60 to 65 seconds.
I ignore private users too.
Like settings:
Like Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Like Limit: 100 to 200.
Delay Like: 60 to 65 seconds.
After one week, I bumped up the Daily Follow Limit a bit.
Follow settings:
Follow Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Follow Limit: 300 to 400.
Delay Follow: 60 to 65 seconds.
Like settings:
Like Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Like Limit: 300 to 400.
Delay Like: 60 to 65 seconds.
After three weeks.
Follow settings:
Follow Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Follow Limit: 400 to 600.
Delay Follow: 20 to 25 seconds.
Like settings:
Like Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Like Limit: 400 to 600.
Delay Like: 20 to 25 seconds.
Like I said, I follow for six days. Then I stop FollowLiker and load new Custom Settings. Instead of the usual follow and like, I unfollow and like. I haven't unfollowed more than 100 people a day. Until your account is a month old, just stick to unfollowing 100 people per day.
Unfollow settings:
Unfollow After: 1. (I don't change this because I manually change the unfollow settings)
Unfollow Limit: 5 to 10.
Daily Unfollow Limit: 95 to 100.
Delay Unfollow: 60 to 65.
Check both "Don't unfollow followers" and "Blacklist unfollowed users".
After unfollowing for one day, I will stop FollowLiker again, change the settings back to follow and like and start it.
Kevin, these are great settings. I am using similar settings and getting decent return on it.Great generic reply, man. But, I think OP is looking for numbers. When I first started, I was looking for exact numbers too. I already posted my exact settings on another thread, so I don't want to duplicate it. I'm just quoting it. Here you go.

My question for you is... do you use the setting for following users who liked a certain photo? In a tutorial, it stated that this was actually one of the best ways of getting someone to follow you back because they are the most engaged...
Great generic reply, man. But, I think OP is looking for numbers.
The guides include numbers and the instructions cover something more important: protecting your accounts and having peace of mind.
Just throwing a bunch of numbers at OP does nothing to help him/her when most "recommended" settings have been hit with captchas, temp bans and even outright bans at one point or another. Mostly because they used those "recommended" settings without PVA'ing or giving FL some time off or just being in some part of the world where IG is rolling out algorithm tests.

I was looking for numbers as my current settings are damn slower than Instagress but his post helped me with scraping photos so I like to give thanks where it is due. @KenTZ my tattoo account was made last October and my fitness was made after a few months later after my tattoos so they are quite aged. Both of my accounts are phone verified(PVA is it?) and I only use FL to Follow, Like and Unfollow(seperately).
I follow and like for 2 days then for one day I don't use bots. The next day I unfollow. Is this okay?
EDIT: Tattoo account has 6k follows while fitness has 5k follows. Started using instagress at 2k
Yep. It is okay. But it is way too low. If you're really scared and paranoid, your settings are fine. My opinion is that you don't need such a big break time in between your tasks.
If you want to gain followers quick but still stay under the radar, you can safely follow for six days and unfollow for one day. Just remember not to go overboard and don't follow and unfollow on the same day.
You're not using FL to automate photo upload/comment, you're using aged accounts with low settings, and they're PVA (yes, Phone Verified Accounts). I'm hoping you're using the same IP for the accounts too. Your account is already as safe as it can get. Don't worry about the ban hammer. You'll be good as long as you don't make the mistakes I've bulleted in my previous post.
One more thing I'd like to tell you is, don't follow a pattern. Like, Monday to Friday: Follow days and Sunday: Unfollow day. Just do it on random days every week.
