Interactions on Instagram are very important. Although the well-known social network is based on photos, these photos would be nothing without the interactions. Among them, the most prominent are Likes or Like, but there are also other very important ones such as comments or useful ones such as the possibility of saving photos.
It may be that behind this movement to eliminate fake likes and followers on Instagram there is a security breach
Just as these interactions are important for the users who upload the photos, they are also important for the social network itself since, without them, Instagram would come to nothing.Due to this and because they want authentic activity and interactions, they have announced that they will remove all actions that they consider to be false or unreal.
We've all heard of apps that promise followers and likes in exchange for interactions or money. And we can even meet people who have used them to increase their popularity on the social network and, apparently, this is the type of method that Instagram wants to avoid.
The message that would be received
From now on, in theory the app will detect who makes use of those applications. From Instagram they claim to have created automatic learning tools These tools would detect the traces left by false interactions and begin to eliminate them, showing users who have used them a message asking them to change their password.
This news has raised various opinions, since it has also come to light that, due to an error in the option to download user data, Instagram would have left the passwords of some users who used of said function.
For this reason, there are not a few voices that say that Instagram is covering its back. That is to say, that Instagram would be sending the password change message to those users whose password was exposed, taking refuge in false interactions that it could not really detect.
We can't know what's behind the truth in this. What we can do is recommend that you change the password if you used the option to download the data. And if you use apps that create fake interactions, stop doing it, just in case.
