Hello,

I cant create instagram anymore.

I switched my router off/on
Created new mail but it doesnt help

can someone help me please?

In the last days I created 3-5 accounts without problems..


Btw: Instagram cant know that I want to create account everytime when I change IP and delete all history files right?

cheers
 
Try to use a proxy, change the agent and clean your cookies, it id for sure your location/network segment or your cookies have been identified... you are not 100% clean they identified you and you are still carrying that trail.
 
Of course Instagram knows. You still have the same cookies and/or device id.
 
Hey there,
Short answer: You're wrong, They can detect you even if you remove whole history, cookies, etc.
Detailed answer:
Instagram and other big players utilized fingerprinting in browsers a long time ago. Even on mobile devices, they do require users to give them access to read the device identifier (aka. UUID).
You can try to hide yourself from these mechanisms by at least changing User-Agent and clearing cookies and other persistence browser storages like Local Storage or IndexedDB on web browsers and restarting your virtual device using a new identifier (some of the android virtualizer support this feature) and AFAIK, there is no way to change device identifier on iOS (unless a jailbroken tweak can help you).
A final 2 cent from me: Don't go with the web endpoints ;)

So how other people creating multiple accounts on FB, Instagram ?
 
They mix the requests, change User-Agents and change proxies and they're not going aggressive.
How about with a dongle (sim data) and using Vmware with different OS on each acc ? No browser fingerprinting! It's a lot of work but I think this method would work fine.

You probably can, but why should you take the extreme path?!
You can just change the User-Agent line to produce, another fingerprint.
BTW, It's very hard to run multiple virtual Android devices and use them to create accounts on the main app, because of two things:
  1. The Instagram application has access to a property called Mac address which is also unique.
  2. (You can search but) I didn't see a simulator which lets you change Mac address of the network card.
-- EDIT --
App also have access to other identifiers which are hard to change, and if you could bypass the network card's mac address detecting, you have to make sure to change those also.

Interesting information I did not know instragram application had access to the mac address, do you have any source on that claim please?

Before Android 6 there was a direct access to mac identifier by using the WifiManager and calling a method called getMacAddress of the WifiInfo class which was returned by using getConnectionInfo of the WifiManager class.
After that version according to the Google itself, the getMacAddress method will return a hard-coded value: 02:00:00:00:00:00 and to access the mac identifier and a bunch of other location related identifiers, Google reused an old permission called ACCESS_WIFI_STATE which now can help you to get the mac address.
So Instagram does not require a specified permission before the 6th version of the android to use this information and even if they want the device identifier, they already got the required permission READ_PHONE_STATE which they can get the device IMEI and IMSI and I don't think they got the mentioned permission just because it's fun to have some permissions on the list :D
