Are you still using uiautomator or have you migrated to mokeyrunner

You'd be surprised how little canvas fingerprinting comes into play.
There's something really huge I'm investigating which will improve my account creation success rate masses if it works.
It's all about understanding the algorithm.
Good luck though!

@RoyalCobra777
I will have many more tips and tricks coming up so stay tuned
@camul3
Thanks, if you have questions let me know!
In fact I do know fingerprinting is not a precise method companies use to track you. However, they are used.
My journey was cracking Instagram's ML algorithm to create the perfect accounts - not just fingerprinting.
If you read over my post you would have seen me running Batch creation with no bans what so ever.
Right now I am putting my accounts under very dirty IP's and the results have been promising. Yet again, no bans.
I seem to have already figured it out.
But many thanks for your support.

I'm going to be honest, this is most likely because of your proxies, not because of the tool itself.
Instagram is tracking you, and all of us, and we're slowly but surely helping it refine their algorithm to detect bots.
All you can do is prevent common tracking techniques anyway.

Actually I do not prevent any tracking techniques. I flow like a normal user, preventing is just like sticking out.
Don't stick out. Blend in.
It is not because of the proxies, like I said I am running them on dirty IP's - IPs that have had accounts banned on them.
Their algorithm is a machine learning one, if you run your account just like other normal accounts there is no way to detect.
Instagram has crawlers, if that's what you mean by tracking us.
Nothing, actually I have been able to follow 100 followers a day no problem with IPv4 Datacenter proxies that were free found online :
https://free-proxy-list.net/
I had no problem. In fact I got one follow block which was because I set the bot to follow constantly on an account (no breaks) it followed around about 50 accounts until soft block
which disappeared after an hour.
The account is still in perfect condition.
I have no tried IPv6 yet.

I suspected this was possible. I wonder how many coffee shops have their wifi stolen by neighbours and how many people use Instagram on the same IP. I don't believe the limit is 5 per IP like is commonly said on BHW and I don't believe the IP you use actually matters either.
Imagine a university campus. There is wifi there. And it's used by many people probably on a distributed network that is limited in number of outbound IPs. Yet, I'm very sure given the large numbers of people that use such wifi networks that at least some of them bot and that there are more than 5 accounts per IP.
Good work

I believe the IP used to register the account is important.
But the one used after is not that much. Since alot of people do use public IP's more than people suspect - at maximum you might get a Phone verification. But I am very sure Instagram won't ban a user for that.
I know it is the software that automating the account that is the issue. IP's do have some part, but it is more about humanizing the interaction on Instagram.
If you have any questions let me know

I think a large problem is that people aren't sending the Instagram signature along with their requests. This is of course in addition to the fact that bots never check stories, usually don't care about DMs and never just stare at other user images like humans do.

Voila someone that is actually running on the same page as me.
You think it's human to follow 25 people an hour for the full 24 hours? 'Do humans not sleep' - This is what needs to be looked at, humanization.
I believe Instagram gives you a relevance score more than anything, that rates your interaction within the community.
In the next couple of days I will have a definite answer to this with these experiments I have been doing.
It's machine learning. It learns from other users interactions etc. The algorithm knows what a bot acts like and what a real person acts like.

I agree with this. I have a few questions that may be of interest to you: does the order of your operations matter? For example, is it "acceptable" by IG to search for a hashtag and then immediately go to some unrelated page that isn't linked there? I'm fairly certain some bots may be doing this (though maybe in a different context than hashtags)
Does it sound like a good idea to write comments or like other people in addition to following? Does the ratio between the three matter?

How long you've been using free proxy? Do you change the proxy every few days or you use them for months?

Exactly like it just doesn't match up, they do track referrers just like any other website so going directly there it's just not human.
I have been testing them for a week now (around about) no problem so far.

I've only been running IG bots for a few days, but I can agree with that. I created 3 accounts on my residential IP, then moved to proxies, and I created 2 accounts on proxies and kept them there. The former haven't experienced any issues at all while the latter have.

Sorry I haven't updated much. But I think I have finished my journey in terms of figuring out their algorithm.
I know you guys are eager to see what I have been up to. I have been working on my main project (this is just a side one).
Anyways, here you go:
The phone is a s7 edge (screen is busted). I do have different models.
I will be also implementing this to iOS soon.
I have fully automated the creation of accounts - this video is just a demo but the program does the following:
I am giving away some accounts so people can test them and give me feedback.
I might be looking at purchasing a Pi and controlling phones through it.
Please comment down below and tell me if you want to test the accounts- but you must give me feedback.
Thank you for keeping up with this journey, I can guarantee you my follow up to this will be exciting!

I have fully automated the creation of accounts - this video is just a demo but the program does the following:
- Spoofs device ID's
- Changes IP's
- Keeps track of used IP's
- Resets tracking ID's
- Clean and uninstall Instagram
- Creates Mail accounts
- Creates Instragram accounts
- Has the option to use multiple devices
- Compatible with Android 6.0+
- and many more features...

Thank you, I am glad you have been keeping up I hope some of the information I have posted will help you somehow!
