noticed Im being asked to verify email. does the fake email method not work anymore?
As much as I remember, IG always asked to verify your email when signing up for new account.
What you mean by fake email? gmail.com and dot trick?
Just until a few weeks ago it was possible to signup an account by using a tempmail emails or similar temporary inbox providers. Actually perfect for short-term scraping or spamming accounts. But now it’s not working anymore, tried it myself. I can’t remember why exactly, but it was either that they got instant captcha/24 hours review or the code didn’t arrived.
A few months ago it didn’t ask to verify the email right away and you could use fake emails and create them later .
to be honest, I didn’t know that, never tried using non-existing email to register. I always used real email, and gmail dot trick.

yeah it was a nice trick while it lasted. I hate blowing through gmails and phone numbers.
Dot trick does not work anymore?
Technically that is still a receivable email handle.
Yes this is a very important process. Verification tells you are genuine.
sucks it was not required when i did this a few months ago 
no, says email already taken
