It&#8217;s no news that Instagram is one of the major social media platforms with a lot of engagement and interaction. For this reason, many brands have taken to buying followers to stay on the charts. Unfortunately, many of these followers are Instagram bot-generated accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Instagram takes user security very seriously, bots are still essentially an inevitability in the app. These bots are basically fake Instagram accounts that aim to boost the following of a certain account or a brand. As revealed by Italian security researchers in 2015, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/BL-DGB-42495\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">about 8%\u00a0of Instagram accounts appeared to be run by computer-generated bots<\/a>. This number grew to about 9.5% in 2019. Based on the new Instagram algorithms, these bots are counterproductive. They are capable of seriously harming your account&#8217;s statistics. As such, if you want to know how to get rid of bots and clean up your Instagram account, then I suggest you read on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hXdBf5LogZA\" data-id=\"hXdBf5LogZA\" data-query onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\" data-cf-modified-24dbb86f34662170f1ac694e->\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20480%20360%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/hXdBf5LogZA\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"play\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hXdBf5LogZA?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-an-instagram-bot\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_Instagram_Bot\"><\/span><strong>What is an Instagram Bot?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22022 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-300x167.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-768x426.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20555'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20555'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Instagram Bot Overview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-768x426.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22022\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-300x167.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-768x426.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Bot Overview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Instagram-Bot-Overview-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>There are several different ways to approach the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/instagram-bot\/\">Instagram bots<\/a>. But in simple terms, an Instagram bot is a piece of software designed to assist creators with their daily Instagram tasks like commenting on posts, following accounts, and liking posts. The purpose of these bots is to assist you in expanding the audience, fan base, and engagement of your business on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite how important and efficient Instagram bots are, scammers can abuse them. They could use the bots in the form of fake Instagram accounts that they can use to send spam messages or leave spam comments on your posts. As a result, the activities of these bots could be detrimental to the overall success of your brand.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-instagram-bots-work\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Instagram_Bots_Work\"><\/span><strong>How Do Instagram Bots Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22028 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work.jpg.webp 552w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20552%20368'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20552%20368'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"InstagramBbots Work\" width=\"552\" height=\"368\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work.jpg 552w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22028\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work.jpg.webp 552w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work.jpg\" alt=\"InstagramBbots Work\" width=\"552\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work.jpg 552w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/InstagramBbots-Work-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Instagram bots work similarly to any average social media bot. It means that you give it some target audience guidelines and custom filters. Based on these, the bot can then go into the act of following, liking, and commenting on these targeted accounts on a large scale.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the Instagram bot should be able to drive a lot of traffic based on the accuracy of the target audience and the instructions you provide. Gaining more followers and increasing brand recognition are the obvious outcomes of the bot&#8217;s action. On the contrary, if a scammer is taking advantage of these bots, the opposite would be the case. Your engagement would drop, and your conversion would be very low.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"effect-of-instagram-bots-on-your-account\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effect_of_Instagram_Bots_on_Your_Account\"><\/span><strong>Effect of Instagram Bots on Your Account<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22020 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-768x511.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20666'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20666'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Effect of Instagram Bots on Your Account\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-768x511.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22020\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-768x511.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account.jpg\" alt=\"Effect of Instagram Bots on Your Account\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Effect-of-Instagram-Bots-on-Your-Account-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>When running any form of an ad campaign on Instagram, it is important for you as a person or company to be constantly conscious of your objectives. As such, the fact that these bot accounts improve your follower numbers does not ensure actual engagements. Instead, they might harm your brand. With that in mind, the following are some detrimental effects of Instagram bots on your account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"inability-to-reach-your-target-audience\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inability_to_reach_your_target_audience\"><\/span><strong>Inability to reach your target audience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instagram bots cannot possibly replace human engagement. However, fake, automated Instagram followers could comment on or like a handful of your posts right away after following you. However, this rarely continues. The fact that the comments weren&#8217;t made by actual individuals is generally understood by many people. This explains why many brands experience low engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, if you are a brand that has a high number of bot accounts that are following you, there is a very slim possibility that your ad will be noticed by real people.

On average, paying to have an influencer market your products or brand can be very effective.<\/p>\n<p>It has the potential to generate average returns of $5 or more on every dollar invested. But unfortunately, many of the followers that influencers buy for these desperate brands are fake, which means there are very low chances of getting the proposed returns.

Due to the automated nature of these accounts, a lot of people are becoming suspicious about their numbers of followers. Fake accounts don&#8217;t engage, as we have mentioned. Therefore, if you find a profile with a lot of followers\u2014say, 1,000\u2014but fewer than five likes on each post, it can be a fake account. At the very least, it reveals the illegitimacy of that account&#8217;s followers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"an-account-with-a-shabby-or-empty-bio\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_account_with_a_shabby_or_empty_bio\"><\/span><strong>An account with a shabby or empty bio<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bios of your followers are yet another important consideration when on the lookout for Instagram bots. Influencers under pressure to provide results may use these techniques to acquire a large following for their clients without being concerned about the consequences. The standard Instagram bio is communicative and provides information about the product or service being offered.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a fake Instagram follower account would either have no bio or a really basic one. It doesn&#8217;t at all correspond to the content of their posts. What would you expect if an influencer offered to sell you 1,000 fake Instagram followers for just $12.99? They wouldn&#8217;t have enough time to set up accounts with authentic images, interesting bios, and original postings.<\/p>\n<p>As such, another thing to keep in mind concerning these fake Instagram accounts with funny bios is that they typically lack a profile picture. They use a generic stock photo or feature a picture of something other than a person, such as a picture of a beach or a structure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"profile-usernames-with-numbers\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Profile_usernames_with_numbers\"><\/span><strong>Profile usernames with numbers: <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although this is frequently disregarded, it is a huge warning sign. If a user attempts to register a username that is already in use for Instagram, they will see suggestions for similar names that have a number attached. The average person isn&#8217;t too excited about the idea of being @jesse567890, especially if the username is hard to remember. Hence, if you come across accounts with usernames similar to these that appear to be random or spammy, they are probably not legitimate Instagram accounts.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-get-rid-of-instagram-bots\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_Rid_of_Instagram_Bots\"><\/span><strong>How to Get Rid of Instagram Bots<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22021 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-300x137.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-768x351.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20457'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20457'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Get Rid of TikTok Bots\" width=\"1000\" height=\"457\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-768x351.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22021\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-300x137.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-768x351.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots.jpg\" alt=\"Get Rid of TikTok Bots\" width=\"1000\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Get-Rid-of-TikTok-Bots-768x351.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>It is now obvious that Instagram bots are annoying and cause more harm than good. Your temporary high following count on Instagram is never worth the issues that bots cause. However, it is a threat that Instagram creators must manage until Instagram introduces an anti-bot mechanism that will permanently resolve this issue. In order to help you get rid of these terrible programs from your social media account, we&#8217;ve put together a few methods.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"run-audit-on-your-account-followers\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Run_Audit_on_your_account_followers\"><\/span><strong>Run Audit on your account followers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For businesses or individuals who must have paid for followers but have very low corresponding engagement, running a regular audit on your account is one good way to remove bot accounts from your list and prevent them from interfering with your engagements. This would help you target real individuals for better reach.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Instagram has a lot of auditing tools out there you can leverage to get this done quickly. One of the most popular and free ones you can find is <a href=\"https:\/\/hypeauditor.com\/free-tools\/instagram-audit\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">HypeAuditor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"manually-remove-fake-and-dead-followers\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manually_remove_fake_and_dead_followers\"><\/span><strong>Manually remove fake and dead followers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After auditing, one good step to take to stop Instagram bots is to manually delete them. As soon as you notice a follower account that meets all the parameters for a bot, do well to remove it. One of the advantages of doing this is that it increases your chances for more engagement and allows your ad campaigns to be seen by real people, ultimately resulting in more conversions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"use-an-ad-fraud-solution\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_an_ad_fraud_solution\"><\/span><strong>Use an ad fraud solution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While manually removing bot accounts is great, it can be very cumbersome for someone who has thousands of accounts to go through. This is where an ad fraud solution finds expression. This doesn\u2019t just stop Instagram bots; it also protects your ad campaigns from being tampered with. There are numerous good, reasonably priced options available for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"q-are-instagram-bots-legal-and-safe\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Are_Instagram_Bots_Legal_and_Safe\"><\/span><strong>Q.
