Use a robot to attract more followers. Now as a simple desktop app!
It runs as a desktop application on your computer and will every day follow up to 150 users (configurable). You choose a list of Instagram users whose market you want to target. The bot navigates to each of these, finds the last people to have followed them and then follows each of them. Then after 5 days (also configurable), it will unfollow the users. Simple and effective.
The bot will remember every user it has followed, so if you quit the app and open it later, it will still clean up by unfollowing users that it previously followed.
You can find logs and data in your "App Data" folder. See userData. For example on Mac OS:
Library/Application\ Support/SimpleInstaBot/followed.json
What makes it different from other bots?
NOTE: After installing you may need to bypass "Untrusted app" dialogs. This is because Microsoft requires a costly certificate to remove this dialog (I'm not going to pay for that.) Alternatively, try to Google windows run untrusted app
.
Many people are getting Action Blocked
message these days with this bot as well as other bots (it seems even people just manually following using the app) Instagram is tightening their rules by not allowing promiscuous behavior like following and liking strangers' photos as much as before, and imposing temp blocks when they think you crossed the limit.
You use this app at your own risk! I have had great success with this app but I am not responsible for any consequences it may have for your Instagram account.
I advise you to follow these guidelines:
To run the bot on multiple accounts at the same time, run it with the command line argument --root
to specify a unique path for each instance:
/path/to/SimpleInstaBot --root ~/Desktop/account1
/path/to/SimpleInstaBot --root ~/Desktop/account2
SimpleInstaBot is built on instauto - you can instead use that if you want to program your own headless bot.
