Max 3-5, in my opinion 3 for best performance.

So I created 2 IG accounts with my SIM many years ago, for some stupid reason. Never really used them much. No bio, no profile pic, nothing.
Found out the other day that I can follow big accounts with only ONE of those 2 accounts. The other one will give me the “pending” msg on trying to follow other accounts.
Now, …I’d really like to manage 3-5 accounts on this same device/SIM, for a future project.
I suppose it would make more sense to just create fresh accounts for that and start from scratch !?
Would it make any sense, though, to delete the old 2 accounts, so they don’t count against the 3-5 accounts limit? Or is it too late for that? Will it make a difference? Would I need to use a different gmail for setup?
Phone numbers / SIMs are assigned to new users naturally all the time. What footprints will IG use to differentiate between an old and new SIM-owner? E-mail, wifi-IP, device ID, …?
Please enlighten me.
THXXX ! ! !

…and since I suppose there are no guarantees on even the most well meaning advice, …
What is expected to happen if I (intentionally or unintentionally) exceed the per-device account limit?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to hijack the thread. Just thought the answers to this might be in line with the OP’s interests as well, so I felt thos might be a good place to ask, instead of creating yet another thread.

Right, …so if I were to just delete the old 2 accounts, would my per-device limit be reset to 5 (3 of which I would slowly create and warm up new accounts for)?
In other words: Will deleted accounts persist to count against the 5-accounts-per-device-limit?

I don't get it. Doesn't the pending message appear only when you follow a private account? Are those other accounts private accounts?

For some accounts (one of mine included), when trying to follow very large accounts (millions of followers) a message will appear stating that “some creators like to manually select who can follow them” and the follow will appear as pending.
It’s possible that one of my accounts (the one hit by this restriction) has different settings, or …wait, lemme check, …oh, okay, I guess I found the culprit: The account that couldn’t follow had 0 followers and …0 content.
Great! Figured that out.
Now …will I be able to zero out my per-device-account-limit, if I were to delete those 2 accounts?

I think there will be no limit, you can manage multiple accounts on device with VPN but if the provider finds out it will be banned quickly, try to comply with the policies then I think everything will be fine

Only 5 are allowed per device.
