Preliminary information
Before going into the heart of this tutorial, it seems only right to give you some preliminary information that you cannot fail to know before starting to use (possibly) one of the services listed below. The first thing I want to do is explain to you a little better what are bots.
In the IT field, the muzzle (short for “robot”) is nothing more than software capable of automating tasks that would be too burdensome or complex for “real” users to perform. By translating this concept specifically to Instagram, the bot is a service that, by exploiting the API (Application Programming Interface) of the photographic social network - that is the programming tools made available to developers to facilitate their task in the creation of external apps and services - automatically performs a series of operations (eg puts "Like", comments , start following other people, watch stories, etc.), which otherwise would have to execute the user "manually".
Since the more interactions you have on Instagram (and social networks in general), the more likely you are to gain new followers, many use bots to gain new followers relatively quickly. While many bots can actually work, I still recommend that you consider whether they are worth using or not. For what reason? There are at least a couple of reasons you should consider.
First of all, know that Instagram doesn't like automatic actions performed by bots: if you take too much advantage of the latter, exponentially increasing your interactions on the photographic social network, therefore, you could run into the deactivation of your account or even its total closure.
Secondly, know that some services may resell user data to third parties. If you have come to this article with the intention of identifying the best free Instagram bots, therefore, be careful: even if you do not pay for the use of these solutions with money, you could use your personal data as a "bargaining chip". Disturbing, right?
As for the trial versions of paid bots (which are the ones I will talk about in the next lines), you should know that, usually, these do not last long and thus do not offer the possibility of making objective assessments about their real effectiveness.
For the reasons mentioned above, therefore, I strongly advise against using bots to grow on Instagram. It is much better to implement more "intelligent" social strategies, as well as ethically more honest. Sure, they won't allow you to increase the number of people who follow you overnight, but with a little effort and persistence, they can be really effective. If you want to know more about it, read the in-depth analysis in which I explain how to increase followers on Instagram for free: it will be useful!
Given the necessary premises above, I would say that we can take action and analyze some bots for Instagram, among those available online.
Viky
If you have decided to still use Instagram bots despite what I told you in the initial chapter of the guide, give it a try Viky. This bot is simple to use, thanks to its user friendly user interface which greatly exemplifies its use.

Do the same thing with the viewing the Stories and like of interaction. Now you simply have to wait for the bot to do its duty and analyze the results obtained.

Another service you can turn to to automate your Instagram account is Ingramer. The service works in a similar way to the one mentioned above. It also allows you to program in advance some specific actions to be carried out on the connected Instagram profile and, using artificial intelligence, promises optimal results in a relatively short time. It costs $ 19 / month, but its functions can be tested for a period of 3 days.

Other Instagram bots
