Instagram Alert: "We've Detected Automated Behavior on Your Account"
If you’ve encountered the message, "We've detected automated behavior on your account," you are not alone. Many Instagram users have reported receiving this warning, often leading to temporary restrictions, such as limited posting capabilities or reduced engagement reach. This message is typically shown when Instagram’s system detects activity resembling that of bots or unauthorized third-party apps.
Why You Might Be Seeing This Message
Instagram works hard to maintain a bot-free platform, and the message is a way to prevent users from engaging with unauthorized third-party apps that violate Instagram’s terms. Such apps may offer services like mass-following, auto-liking, or automated commenting, which can trigger Instagram’s detection system.
One user on Reddit shared their experience, stating, “I got this message after using an auto-follow tool. Now I can’t like or comment for a week”【source】. Another commented, "I’ve never used bots, but I think it’s because I followed too many people at once."
