You’ve probably experienced this yourself. Just after you posted your awesome selfie on to your Instagram account, you immediately either got a bunch of likes, found some nice comments or had some people followed you (or all of the above).
You felt overjoyed to know that someone had actually like your ‘mug shot’! They even left some comments (they must’ve had liked you a lot).

As a bonus you got some new followers too! Everybody wanted followers, who didn’t! It was like Christmas.
That was until you decided to check their profiles and when you found out that alas these new fans of yours were just a bunch of fakers employing some bots to do their works.
These days you can very easily ‘hire’ bots (software program to automate some defined tasks) to auto like, auto comment and/or auto follow on your account’s behalf for less than $1 a day. Just Google the keywords ‘Instagram bots’ and you will be presented with a list of probable candidate service providers.
Why would people use these automatons? Simple, everybody wants lots of followers, they want it now, but they don’t want to do the work!
For the most of us ‘victims’ though, the bots problem has become too pervasive that it has made our day to day Instagram experience turned a tad sour.
Well, fret no more because finally Instagram acknowledged this issue by actually doing something practical, which I must say pretty surprising coming from Instagram which lets be honest hasn’t been the best example of a good customer support.
On November 17th, 2015 Instagram posting a new set of rules which must be adhered by all third-party app developers (that would be the programmer who created the bots).
The new rules say that if someone wants to create a new third-party Instagram app, the app must start first in a Sandbox mode during development and testing.
