  Growbot Automator for Instagram helps you grow on Instagram while staying in control. Load accounts from followers, following, likers, commenters, hashtags, locations, and your feed. Growbot is more than just a bot!  It helps manage your audience. Filter, sort, schedule, and automate follows, unfollows, likes, story views, reel watching, (and more!) with configurable delays to reduce rate limits.
  
  Content creators and small businesses use Growbot to grow their audience on Instagram without tapping follow all day. Schedule follows, unfollows, likes, story views, and reel watching with configurable delays. Social media and community managers use it to organize accounts into lists, review profile data, and run scheduled actions across the accounts they manage. Creators use it for focused outreach to people in their niche rather than following at random, and to drive traffic to the link in their bio. Power users running a mother/child setup schedule batches across multiple Instagram logins and rotate quotas between them. And if you care about follow/unfollow hygiene, you can whitelist friends, skip accounts you followed manually, remove followers, unfollow non-followers, and unfollow people after a set number of days.
  
  Growbot has been trusted by creators and businesses for years, and it keeps getting better.
  
  Growbot is updated often with new features, and the developer is always ready to help.
