Get started

1. Connect Android device to your computer with a USB cable
2. Enable Developer options on the device

On Android 4.1 and lower, the Developer options screen is available by default. On Android 4.2 and higher, you must enable this screen. To enable developer options, tap the Build Number option 7 times. You can find this option in one of the following locations, depending on your Android version:

Android 9 (API level 28) and higher: Settings > About Phone > Build Number

Android 8.0.0 (API level 26) and Android 8.1.0 (API level 26): Settings > System > About Phone > Build Number

Android 7.1 (API level 25) and lower: Settings > About Phone > Build Number

3. Switch on USB debugging (or Install apps via USB or similar) on the Developer options screen
4. Device will ask you to allow computer connection. Press "Connect"
5. Type adb devices in terminal. It will display attached devices. There should be exactly one device. Then run the script (it works on Python 3):

cd <path-to-project>/Insomniac
python3 insomniac.py --interact <username1> <username2> ...

Make sure that the screen is turned on and device is unblocked. You don't have to open Instagram app, script opens it and closes when it's finished. Just make sure that Instagram app is installed. If everything's fine, script will open each blogger's followers and like their posts.

Why Insomniac?

There already is InstaPy, which works on Instagram web version. Unfortunately, Instagram bots detection system has become very suspicious to browser actions. Now InstaPy and similar scripts work at most an hour, then Instagram blocks possibility to do any actions, and if you continue using InstaPy, it may ban your account.

That's why need arised in a solution for mobile devices. Instagram can't distinguish bot from a human when it comes to your phone. However, even a human can reach limits when using the app, so don't fail to be careful. Always set --total-likes-limit to 300 or less. Also it's better to use --repeat to act periodically for 2-3 hours, because Instagram keeps track of how long the app works.
