Not sure how Instagram works, but on FB when you restricted age to X amount, any followers under that age were removed from the page. At least that’s how it was in the past, not sure how it works now.

@SWAPD
so all you’re saying is that you never tested what suggested by Sarkawt_shaban?
and that, if i try on Instagram, I may have followers removed if i restrict age?
in that case i can try as have bought an instagram account (without oge) and with few followers.
@Gandalf what do you think?
- Will i have IG followers removed?
- (apologies for stupid question) can i add the IG account (where i want to do what you suggested) to a phone i use with main IG profile? or do i need a new phone?
thanks
Never mind bro it is okay.
The answer is no, you restrict new followers not current followers.
And yes you can use your phone. If new one is possible, it would be better.
But nothing much.
I have 8 accounts on my phone. And 7 of them i don’t have OGE.
But used that trick.
One of the accounts is 1.9m
Other 1m and others between 200k to 1m.
So it works for me.
You can try it.
First use a normal account not Paid.
Just for test.

Restriction will apply to new followers already tested on my 2m page you won’t lose them. BUT old followers that are now restricted won’t be able to see your new posts but you won’t be losing them

Does it effect the reach in any way after you turn off the restriction (set it back to normal)? If you noticed a bump or a drop…
Of course not.
It only affects while it is on restriction.

I saw this instructions on viralaccount for Seller to take if they are not providing OGE. Does SWAPD instruct and ensure Seller do the follow steps when brokering a deal?
Yes they do
One step that seems missing and seem to be the most important one is to clear the cache/data and maybe take a video of it

We don’t require users to do this.
Yes.
Thanks Alpha! So I do not need to negotiate with the Seller to have him agree to do the steps right? I was so afraid I have to and Seller might find it too troublesome and becomes a deal breaker. Good to have the staffs handle!
Nope!
Is there a solution to this? I have the OG email to an account that was pulled back after they sold it to me.
Hello,
not much expert here… sorry for stiupid questions.
@SWAPD, if i understand, when you buy IG page:
- with or without OGE not much different. Better with but not important as not 100% safe if i have OGE.
- (maybe) only way to be safe would be have seller delete browser and app cookies? Correct? But you not force sellers do that?
- (maybe) a safe method is @Gandalf method?
So, if i want to buy IG page and they say has no OGE then what do i need to do?
How can i be safe?
How can i be guaranteed that seller will not get IG page back?
SWAPD can guarantee by doing all controls/verification on seller and IG page?
Thank you
You virtually can’t. There are always ways. The best way of staying safe is to:
- Ask questions (history/previous ownership)
- Buy from trusted vendors

Does using 2FA cover not having an OGE?
No.
No but he & she will not be able to login into account without code 
@SWAPD
You guys have got me thinking hard about this account I’m looking at.
Context: I was asking him about other accounts he might have in a similar niche…
His reply: “I had one account but last month I lost my phone so i lost duo mobile app and back code so now those 2 pages are useless !! Even I have password but don’t have two factor authentication code so I can’t login.”
He can give me current email but is asking 3.5k for this account. Has had a swapd profile for a year with 2 sales but I don’t know how far “verified Id” can go.
Edit:
I also am curious if you guys have tested connecting the Instagram to a business suit account. And if connecting the purchased IG to meta business suit gave you certain actions to protect that maybe IG does not?
All a big black hole of info but I’m currently looking into it unless someone has tried already.
Also @SWAPD to add on, proton should be avoided as well. All my emails that I used when buying accounts here got banned. Every single last one.
