Avoiding Instagram Bans

1) Use real devices, never emulators. 2) One account per device profile. 3) Warm up new accounts before automating. 4) Respect rate limits. 5) Post original content regularly. 6) Mix action types. 7) Use residential IPs. 8) Monitor account health daily.

The most common reasons accounts get banned: running too many actions too fast, using the same device for multiple accounts without isolation, ignoring action block warnings, and using datacenter proxies.

Stop all automation immediately. Wait 48 hours. Appeal through the Instagram app if prompted. If the account is restored, wait 2 weeks before reintroducing any automation at very low levels.

Prevention is always better than recovery. A banned account may never be fully restored, and even if it is, it will have reduced trust. Follow ShadowPhone's recommended settings and you will rarely encounter issues.
