Do not be overactive 

Yes, Instagram can also be an engaging place. However, it won’t help your cause if you like a bunch of posts or follow/unfollow random accounts in instant succession. However, you’re at it, refrain from commenting the same thing on different posts. That is classic spammy behavior in Instagram’s books as well.

Seeing the ‘Followers’ number shoot up is each and every Instagrammer’s dream. Unfortunately, many shady developers are capitalizing on the desire of millions in order to maximize their gain. These websites or applications ask you in order to put down your Instagram login credentials. That allows increasing your followers count “for free.”

Surrendering your account details is also a strict no-no because it would give the developers complete access to your private profile. And if that wasn’t enough. Then Instagram might just flag account for unnatural activity and put it on hold.

Avoid third-party linkups 

Many services permit you to sign up using Instagram. And while that is a convenient solution, and it does put your original Instagram account at risk. So, unless the service that you’re logging in with is completely trusted, just do not use Instagram to sign up.
