One step to limit this kind of activity will be to send an in-app message of warning to accounts that are found to be employing this type of behaviour, telling them to change their password to cut ties with these apps. Instagram has shut some bot apps for growing followers like Instagress and Social Growth but there’s an array of apps and plugins that Instagram influencers use to make them seem more attractive to brands. These apps often ask you to share your password whether the app is just for analysing your follower base or for helping you increase engagement.
