This guide is written specifically for OFM agencies using rented iPhones, controlled remotely via ALI.

Follow this guide without skipping steps or improvising as it may reduce the chances of success rate.

⚠️ Important Before You Start

ALI uses real iPhones, not emulators or APIs
ALI does not influence reach or distribution
Content quality is the #1 factor for success rate
Bad content = low reach, regardless of setup

ALI iPhones behave exactly like physical iPhones.

Account Creation

Phone Number Method (Recommended)

You can use temporary one-time phone numbers from providers such as TextVerified.

This method works well only if emails are properly secured later.

⚠️ Important:

Because these phone numbers are temporary, you must remove the phone number later and replace it with an email.

Email Method (Alternative)

You can create iCloud aliases using the ALI's iPhone's Apple ID features, then use those iclouds to create Instagram accounts.

⚠️ Important:

iClouds aliases are limited to 3 per Apple ID, but you can also purchase iCloud+ and you can have up to 750 iCloud emails.

Step 1 – Follow Instagram’s Onboarding

After account creation:

Set username and password
Complete all Instagram onboarding prompts
There is no “perfect” configuration
Act as human and natural as possible

Avoid rushing through screens.

Step 2 – Securing the Account

This step is non-negotiable and should be done within 24 hours from account creation.

Add Email & Remove Phone Number

Go to Settings → Accounts Center → Personal Details
Add a Gmail address
Remove the temporary phone number

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

We strongly recommend enabling 2FA.

Go to Settings → Password & Security → Two-Factor Authentication
Save the 2FA backup key in your database (Airtable/Google Sheets)
If you lose this key, you lose the account

💡 Tip:

2FA also makes future logins and migrations easier.

You can generate codes using 2fa.online (easier for VAs).

Account Setup

There is no rigid structure, but you must meet these minimum requirements.

By the end of the setup, the account should have:

2–3 feed posts (1 pinned, with music)
2 highlights with 1-2 stories each
- Stories must include music, polls, sliders, interactive stickers for a better account authenticity
Profile Picture (PFP)
A clean, realistic bio
Following 12–15 US-based users

All actions must be done randomly, with warm-up sessions between them.

Warm-Up Logic

Warm-up sessions consist of three action types:

Low Risk

Scrolling
Liking

Medium Risk

Commenting
Sharing

High Risk

Following
Replying to comments

⚠️ Rules:

Start with low risk actions
Only do high risk actions at the end
Scroll 2 minutes between each action

Triggering spam detection = reachability is compromised.

Professional Account Setup

After initial setup:

Switch to Professional Account
Select:
- Creator
- Fan Page
- Do not display category on profile

Complete as many Instagram prompts as possible,

Optional Extra Safety

In order to have best demographics, you can restrict certain countries:

Go to Business / Creator Tools → Minimum Age
Select countries (e.g. India, Pakistan)
Set maximum age (e.g. 25)

Account Aesthetics

Before starting, prepare:

Feed posts
PFPs
Stories
Bios
Descriptions

Use:

Model’s real content
Aesthetic content from camera roll
Pinterest for filler visuals

Ask yourself:

“Does this account look real and believable? Can this be a 1M Followers Instagram Account?”

📸 Good Aesthetic Example

❌ Bad Aesthetic Example

Mandatory Technical Requirements

These rules must be followed:

Mobile Data or Hotspot ONLY
❌ No WiFi ever

Scroll Reels & Explore for 10 minutes

Profiling Phase

Add 1 feed post
Add bio
Add 1 more feed post
Add 2 stories + highlights
Set realistic display name (e.g. “Sophie 🫶🏻”)
