What Warmr does on Instagram
Ramp
Scrolls the main feed and Reels tab, likes posts, follows accounts, and browses Explore and Search to build a consistent activity pattern.
Auto-Posting
Uploads Reels, carousels, and single photos; attaches music when applicable; and publishes each post at the scheduled time.
Stays active
Daily ramp activity continues in parallel with the posting rotation. The account never goes dormant between posts.
Device setup
You can run up to 8 Instagram accounts per iPhone, with 3–4 the best-practice sweet spot for staying healthy. Every iPhone needs the same one-time setup, and it covers every platform: set a device up once and it can run activity and post on TikTok, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.- Developer Mode on (Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode).
- UI Automation on (Settings → Developer → Enable UI Automation): required, or no automation runs.
- Appearance = Light and StandBy = Off: the two settings that cause most failed sessions.
- Auto-Lock = Never and Brightness ≥ 50%.
- The Warmr runner installed on the device.
Supported content types
Videos & Reels
Upload standard video files. Warmr posts them as Reels automatically through the Instagram app.
Carousels
Multi-image carousels are fully supported. Arrange your images in the desired order before adding them to the queue.
Single Photos
Static image posts are supported alongside video and carousel formats.
Music
Specify a track in your post configuration and Warmr attaches it during the upload flow where Instagram allows it.
Account ramp schedule
Every Instagram account can go through Warmr’s ramp schedule before it enters the posting rotation, so a new account is not going from zero to full volume on its first day.1
Fresh
The account is newly added to Warmr. Ramp activity begins immediately; posting is blocked.
2
Ramped in
Warmr has been running daily scroll, like, follow, and Explore activity. The account is establishing a normal usage history.
3
Matured
The account has reached Warmr’s maturity threshold and is cleared to enter the posting rotation.
4
Kept active
Ramp activity continues every day alongside scheduled posting.
5
Posting
Warmr publishes content on your schedule while maintaining daily engagement activity in parallel.
Instagram’s algorithm favors accounts that engage consistently. Warmr’s daily ramp activity (scrolling, liking, following) helps signal that your account is an active human user, improving the reach of every post you publish.
Capacity and delivery
Each iPhone supports up to 8 Instagram accounts, though 3–4 per iPhone is the best-practice sweet spot for keeping accounts healthy. Use Cloud Drop to queue content from anywhere. Warmr picks it up on the next posting cycle without you needing physical access to the device. If a device crashes or stalls mid-upload, Warmr restarts and resumes from the last checkpoint. The post will not publish as a duplicate and will not be silently dropped.Instagram layout updates
Instagram ships frequent app updates. When a layout change breaks one of Warmr’s tap sequences, here is what happens:1
Warmr detects the failed tap
Because Warmr reads the screen in real time, a moved button causes the action to fail rather than tapping the wrong thing, and the run is halted immediately.
2
A patch ships within 24–48 hours
The Warmr team updates the tap map to match the new layout.
3
Your Mac app auto-updates
On its next check-in, the Mac app pulls the patch automatically. No reinstall or manual update needed.
