Hey, what’s up, everybody? Jonathan here. In today’s discussion, I’m diving into an issue that has frustrated a lot of Instagram users — those pesky 7-day blocks.
If you’ve ever been hit with one, you know the pain.
But don’t worry, I’ve got some personal experience and insights to help you avoid getting blocked repeatedly.
What is an Instagram 7-Day Block?
So, what exactly is a 7-day block? Instagram imposes these action blocks when they suspect spammy behavior.
This can happen if you follow too many accounts, send too many messages, or perform other activities too quickly. While some blocks last a few hours or days, a 7-day block can really slow down your engagement efforts.
From my experience, and after reading through user comments on forums like MP Social, it seems there isn’t one clear cause.
Some users report getting blocked after manually following 200 people in one go, while others say they’re blocked even with fewer actions.
It’s tricky, and Instagram isn’t exactly transparent about the rules.
Why Does Instagram Block Accounts?
Based on my research and personal experience, there are several factors that could lead to a 7-day block. Here’s what I’ve learned:
1. Aggressive Actions: If you’re following, liking, or commenting too much, Instagram’s algorithm might flag your account as spam.
2. New Accounts: Freshly created accounts are more vulnerable to blocks. It’s like Instagram is extra cautious with new profiles.
3. IP or Device Issues: Using the same IP address or device for multiple accounts can trigger a block. One forum user even suggested switching devices or proxies to avoid this.
4. Automation Tools: If you’re using automation software to manage your Instagram, that could be another red flag. However, quality 4G proxies might reduce the risk.
How to Avoid 7-Day Blocks
Now that you know why Instagram blocks happen, let’s talk about how to avoid them.
1. Limit Actions
One of the easiest ways to avoid a block is to slow down your actions.
Instead of following 100 accounts in a day, break it down into smaller chunks.
You could start with 10 follows on day one and gradually increase from there.
2. Use 4G Proxies
If you manage multiple accounts or use automation tools, invest in high-quality 4G proxies.
As I’ve seen in various threads, many users swear by this approach to avoid blocks. Proxies help mask your IP and reduce the likelihood of being flagged.
3. Change Devices
If you’re consistently getting blocked on one device, it might be time for a change. Some users have found success by switching devices or resetting their device IDs.
4. Take Breaks
Another important tip is to let your accounts rest. If you get blocked, don’t rush back into action. Let your account chill for a while before trying again. This gives Instagram a chance to reset its monitoring of your activity.
5. Analyze Your Behavior
Finally, the key to avoiding blocks is consistent testing.
As with any social media platform, algorithms change.
Keep testing your strategies, adjust your actions, and use data to figure out what works best for your account.
Conclusion
Getting blocked on Instagram can be frustrating, but by slowing down your actions, using proxies, and testing different strategies, you can significantly reduce the chance of a 7-day block.
Remember, Instagram’s algorithm is always changing, so stay patient and keep experimenting.
