Instagram Follow Block - Mega Thread - Level 1 [SERIOUS]

#110

Good morning, sir,

Due to the latest updates and checks of Instagram regarding the verification of automatisms and abnormal growths, we are taking steps to :

  1. Update our security systems to avoid future anomalies and checks through messages;
  2. Test new growth methods;

For this reason, the service will be temporarily suspended for maintenance and updating.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

If the request for security and message comes out, we recommend that you access your profile by visiting www.Instagram.com directly from safari or a browser from your computer. If your personal number does not work, you can temporarily use any other number of friends and/or family.

We also recommend that you update your password after the procedure.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a nice day.

No one really knows the answer right now so just need to see what happens.

One thing though, which i tend to stick to in general. Never put all your eggs in one basket in case shit hits the fan (like this).

In my experience, this is region related. They are testing out features like they did with the hidden like count in Canada. Some clients I had had the 6k mark problem while others are running just fine where others got blocked no matter what. Thats a pattern of testing things around in combination with service shortages in some areas.

I have a theory for avoiding this but still testing it out as it costs me a lot at the moment. Will report back when/if I get an epiphany!

Let’s hope you are right my friend! :slight_smile:

Yeah it’s interesting there is definitely two schools of thought on this… for about a year I did both tools at the same time and had no issues whatsoever, and the good thing about this was that your following count didn’t fly up and down and so from an analytical perspective it looked less obvious you were doing F/UF.

However the past couple of months I tried running them separately- still on the same day but not at the same time. For example 11/12 hours of following then a break (1-2 hours) then I would run the unfollow for 4-5 hours and then let the account sleep- I had no issues with both methods but the main observation was that the account doing this second method had less in-app complications, such as ‘please wait and refresh in a few minutes’… I guess because of less actions being done per hour. + the engagement on this account was healthier, but there are many factors of course outside of this such as niche, content, in-app engagement etc…

Anyway that’s my experience with doing both of them… hope it helps :slight_smile:

Well I have 5 accounts that I use for my ecommerce business. The 4 that are automated on Jarvee have all been following at the 600 people per day mark with a similar unfollow limit too. They are all follow blocked but not unfollow blocked.
The 5th account which I have not autometed yet is of course perfect!

I have reduced the following amount down to 5500/month and set the follow/unfollow tool to run at different times.

Is there anything else people would suggest I do?
Thanks for all the info so far!

How is it possible that jarvee leaders haven’t network into ig developers team and doesn’t share the solution?

They would have to pay that guy on Instagram’s side more than we all pay together for all our licenses :wink: probably that is why :smile:

Thanks for explaining this. I am not in the forum very often and just a tiny MP Social user with a handful of my own instagram accounts. But I do come here when something is wrong (my accounts are follow blocked right now) and find the information very helpful.

Now I’m thinking about that, and only 4 accounts which did’t follow over 6 k (more or less 4-5 k for each) didn’t blocked…

But now the question is: What can we do for account blocked?

Any clients who have make a big deal about it, I will credit the downtime to their account no problem. But I’m not offering unless they ask. We are in the business of client management and this is all part of management. The hours I spend researching and keeping up to date on changes is all part of my original promise to my clients that I would keep their account safe!

Ok guys, some news:
The old account of a client, that yesterday was working, because it was at 5900 follows in the last 30 days, but stopped working at around 6100, today it’s again under 6000 follows.
But, bad news, it’s still blocked.
So I don’t know why.
I’ll try to wait till 18.30 CET, the time that yesterday stopped working, to see if it was only a 24h block for going over the 6000/30.

Another thing it may help, I worked like this:
12pm-20pm: follow around 500accs.
20pm-6am: night mode, rest
6am-12pm: unfollow followers of the day before

But anyway, even if I am using a big night mode, blocked.
I’ll update you at 19:00, let’s see.

So you know when he will go under the 6K level ? Please do not hesitate to post if under 6K you can follow again.

#128

30 days :slight_smile:

So it is kind of a confirmation for the 6k theory

Please let us know !

For now it’s not working, but maybe (I hope) it’s a 24h block for going over the 6000/30, if the theory it’s true.
At 18.30 CET it’s 24h since the black, I’ll try to update you if this account starts working.

My other 5 pretty new account (all under 6000/30) are working without any problem, but it’s still in the warm up
