Take note:
The best results come steadily over time, rather than through spamming. Because we care about the safety of your account, we strongly suggest using this Phantom at a moderate rate.
Instagram has very strict auto-following limits. To automate safely, we strongly recommend following a maximum of 1 profile per hour with this Phantom, spread out across several launches within daytime hours.
To collect Instagram account URLs to follow, use one of the following automations:
Instagram Hashtag Collector to extract profiles that have published posts with any hashtags or locations
Instagram Follower Collector to extract lists of profiles that follow Instagram influencers
Instagram Following Collector to extract lists of profiles followed by specific Instagram users
How to build a follow-unfollow sequence on Instagram
Following profiles is a great way to get your profile and its content noticed, hopefully gaining followers in return and organically growing your profile followers list. However, it doesn't mean you necessarily want to stay following them - you may now want to declutter your feed and improve your following-to-follower ratio again.
You can set up the perfect follow-unfollow sequence as follows:
Gather the profile URLs of Instagram users you want to follow in a spreadsheet.
Set up the Instagram Auto Follow Phantom to launch repeatedly to gradually follow your entire profile list, following a max of 1 profile every hour.
Use the Instagram Auto Unfollow Phantom by chaining it to your Instagram Auto Follow, then set it up to Unfollow or Unfollow only if they don't follow you.
After the time interval of your choice from when your Follow Phantom first launched (e.g., one week), set the Unfollow Phantom to launch repeatedly at the same frequency and process the same number of profiles as your first Phantom each day.
This workflow will create a steady Instagram follow-unfollow strategy, gradually unfollowing all the profiles you followed. This way, you can grow your own Instagram following organically while maintaining a healthy following-to-follower balance and keeping your feed clean.
