Hey danielle.reynolds,

This is the real cat-and-mouse game. Indirect detection is all about pattern recognition. If an anonymous view happens seconds after they post, every single time, they’ll get suspicious.

The key is to act less like a bot. Vary your viewing times—don’t be the first viewer. It helps to rotate between a couple of different third-party viewers, as some might get flagged by IG’s backend over time. Also, avoid any other interactions with their profile around the same time. The goal is to leave no predictable digital footprint.
