Why have things changed?

On October 1st, Instagram began to limit user likes, followings and comments which were NOT made from the official Instagram application. This led to the fact that many services including our application became incapable of putting likes and following users. The "automatic earning" (big red button) became useless: 99.9% of users were unable to put likes. Since our system works on the principle of automatic likes exchange between users the speed of likes delivery has dropped near zero.


What we did

Since automatic earning can no longer put likes we had to replace it with "manual earning" based on liking tasks. The main difference is that you put likes via the official Instagram application that allows you to avoid new Instagram limits. Thanks to this approach the profile activity looks more natural and pretty similar to normal usage of the official Instagram application.


So we published a new version of the application with manual earning. Although only 20% of users were updated, we are observing a daily increase in the number of total delivered likes, which leads to an increase in the speed of like orders delivery. Despite the fact that automatic earning is still available in the application it will soon be turned off for everyone.


But likes are still coming very slowly! Why?

During all this time (almost 2 months) automatic earning continued to work and users who could not in fact put likes still received "free crystals" for time consumed. In such a way users have accumulated hundreds of millions of crystals in total... Even after the introduction of manual earning the situation with likes delivery speed did not improve much because so many orders were created for these amounts of crystals.


What to do?

There is only one option: reset all crystals to zero. For those who are ready to do so we came up with "account conversion". When the account is converted the crystals and karma are set to zero. Additionally, new orders made by converted accounts have maximal priority. This allows to restart the entire economics of the application and make it work as it should.


Is the "Conversion" mandatory?

For now it's not, but if you don't convert your account the speed of likes delivery will continue to drop until it eventually becomes zero. Also new application features (for example, comments) will be unavailable. Therefore we recommend to spend the remaining crystals in the TOP or order video/stories views and convert your account in near future.
