Getting action blocked by Instagram
- Thread starter rkearn17
- Start date
It's not that simple.
There are silent blocks, with no prompt. This occurs when converting 50% of my follow actions into unfollows. Keeping everything as follow action was fine.
Getting a hard block (with a popup), which usually last about 24 hours, the limit gets more severe the next time around. That is getting blocked with half as many actions.
It seems like the way it really works is completely different from what others are saying

Account provider?
Proxy provider?
Phone Verification provider?
Show us some setting screenshots for the software you are using.
As a side note, you want the opinion from experts, but you require them to ask you questions because the information you provided in your Initial thread is useless. Not the best way to get help from experts.

And here it kinda ends already. Nobody can help you with software that we don't know.

2 possibilities then. Bad accounts or imperfect software. Especially if you using web API
It's not the web api, which is used when you open instagram on a desktop browser.
I'm using i.instagram.com/api/v1
I wrote the software to be able to tune for likes, follows, unfollows per day and per hour.
What I'm not understanding is how ig is behaving in response to my account as oppose to one from a competitor.

Mate, you need to test it. Use another accounts (dont create it). If it still get you block, get a bot from marketplace. If you still get block, then another social media are the best ones for you

Well either you don't know how to create accounts or how to operate the software you have.
Either way no one here can help you.
You have:
Custom Software
Custom Accounts
Custom Proxies
How should someone help you with a custom problem? It is not like someone else can reproduce the issues you have.
Two people already told you the situation, you can keep being in denial or do the proper tests.

You gotta slow down whatever you are doing, you might lose your account if the blocks are continuous!!
Don't be annoyed by these questions:
1) What makes an account custom?
2) I tried Gramto, and it was just unreliable - down times, feedback required messaged in their logs, setting rules that didn't work
After that, I decided to write my own, atleast I have full control and stats to analyze
3) Why is having a proxy important, wouldn't residential IPs be more credible to ig than proxies already used and abused?
I uploaded a graph of my activities, can't link directly

The graph might be a little confusing.
1st Bottom most row are follows successful
2nd Bottom most row are follows blocked (soft and prompted)
3rd Bottom most row are unfollows successful
4th Bottom most row are unfollows blocked (prompted only)
5th Bottom most row are likes successful
No blocked likes as of yet
As you can see toward the end, the blocks come extremely early after recovery, down to about 70 unfollows before being blocked again

You are comparing SaaS with Local running software.
Noob question (we gotta start somewhere): What does an account creation proxy have to do with trying to grow a single account?

Not to mention that the bot "gramto" is a complete copy off nextpost, which is a public script. You can host it yourself and have full access over everything.
