What does that Instagram "action blocked" message mean?

When you click on the "follow" button, nothing changes. This then means that you can't follow the account in question and that certain other actions on your account may be blocked.

Most of the time this block is temporary and is quickly resolved. This one is the result of a violation of the terms and conditions or that you've exceeded Instagram limits.

Some people may get this error message repeatedly if they disregard Instagram limits. That's why Instagram has improved its algorithm and limited mass actions such as follow, like, comments and even story viewing.

We all know that without the ability to perform these actions, Instagram becomes less useful and no longer allows us to connect to the rest of the world.

That's why at Boostfluence we've designed our tool so you don't have to. Our artificial intelligence regulates your actions before Instagram blocks you, and we use proxies for each of your accounts to guarantee their security.

But despite this there are many other reasons why you may be blocked. For more results you can get a personal proxy here.

Before we explain how to make sure your actions are no longer blocked by Instagram, we're going to outline the reasons that can be the cause of this blocking and enable you to avoid this in the future or be banned permanently.

Why is Instagram blocking my actions and no longer allowing me to follow accounts?

1. You've been following too many accounts too fast

This is one of the most likely reasons for your Instagram actions being blocked.

Some people who have recently been using Boostfluence to automate their following can be detected by Instagram if their account isn't launched in "random" speed.

The latest Instagram algorithm can actually spot a change in usage that is too radial and decide to block the actions of the account concerned.

If this action is repeated several times the account can then risk being banned permanently.

If your account is new, you probably won't be able to follow many people from the start. Your account will need to be launched calmly and as naturally as possible.

For older accounts you can afford to perform more actions, but obviously limits still exist.

What is the maximum number of people you can follow per day?

The limit has been set at 500 follows per day, but for accounts less than 30 days old we recommend you don't exceed 50 follows per day and increase that gradually. Once your account is older you can multiply your shares until you reach this 500 follow limit.

2. You've reached the instagram limit of possible follows

If your actions are blocked by Instagram it's possible that you've reached the limit set regarding the number of subscriptions. You cannot follow more than 7500 people on a single Instagram account. If you've reached this limit you'll need to unfollow certain people.

3. You misuse an automation tool

Most people who perform follow actions too quickly use software or apps. And when Instagram detects this change in usage habit it decides to limit the actions. Be aware that you're also limited to a number of likes per hour.

It's entirely possible to use Instagram automation tools such as Boostfluence to boost your performance on Instagram but this must be done using safe software and in a natural way. Here's an article outlining good setting practices to implement.

4. Several people use the same instagram account

Using the same account for 2 people is perfectly feasible, but if the number of people to interact on your account is greater than 2, this could be the reason for your Instagram actions being blocked.

We then recommend that you use the same IP address when using your Instagram account.

5. Your app encounters a bug

This is another possibility to consider. Your Instagram account stores a lot of data and certain problems can sometimes be encountered.

In this case your actions will be blocked until the corrupted data is deleted or repaired by Instagram.

We then recommend that you use the same IP address for the use of your Instagram account.

How long can my instagram account be blocked?

Most of the time the action blocks encountered on Instagram are temporary blocks and for a short period of time. They can range from 20 minutes to several days, but generally last 24 hours.

For new accounts, blocks can last longer. If your account is new, set stricter limits on the number of actions performed each day. We recommend that you have at least one week of normal use of your account before connecting it to Boostfluence.

How to resolve Instagram share blocks step by step

Connect on another device

Connecting via another device will ensure that the problem is not with your means of connection. If you usually use the Instagram application, connect to your computer and vice versa. Once connected, try to perform the actions in question, if the problem persists move on to the next step.

Disconnect and reconnect

Disconnect from your Instagram account and reconnect to try to solve the problem. To do this, go to your settings and click on the logout button. Once that's done reconnect and try to follow someone.

Also make sure your Instagram app is up to date, if it's not update your app then retry following an account.

Follow accounts via Facebook

Try following Facebook-linked accounts to see if your Instagram shares are still being blocked. Most Instagram accounts are linked to the Facebook account and you can follow them.

Go to your Instagram settings, there you can find a list of Facebook friends to follow.

7 Tips to avoid Instagram share blocking?

Use a single Instagram management app

Using multiple Instagram management apps can multiply the number of connections to your account and the number of requests made. This can cause your account to be blocked.

To make sure you're not connected to multiple apps, you can perform an instagram password change.

Use your Instagram bot in the most human way possible

Even automated your account should appear as human as possible and this requires good settings. Learn more about how to set up your Boostfluence account properly.

Link your Instagram account to your other social networks

Linking your Instagram account to other platforms will give you credibility in Instagram's eyes. It will also give you more potential followers.

Post regularly

You need to have a natural use of the app. And that means posting photos or videos regularly. Also remember to use relevant hahstags and not overuse them. As a reminder, you're limited to 30 hashtags per instagram publication.

If you don't post regularly your account will appear abandoned and your community won't be engaged. If your account hasn't been active for a long time we recommend treating it as a new account.

Have a complete profile

Having a complete profile also allows you to be better perceived by Instagram and shows that your account isn't a fictitious or unused account. It will also allow you to engage your community more.

To do this make sure you have an instagram description, a good username, profile photo, web link, etc.

Also make sure your instagram account is linked to your valid email address and phone number.

Don't try to reach Instagram action limits

Always start slowly and gradually increase the number of actions performed your results will only be better.

Use your account manually before reconnecting it to Boostfluence

If you have suffered an Instagram block we recommend that you disable your modules during the blocking period and use your account manually for 24 hours before relaunching your modules at random speed and following the setting tips.
