GUIDE

How to use Reach for Instagram discovery

Reach is an optional browser script that runs in your Instagram session. Read the limits and risks before using it.

What Reach is

Reach runs inside the Instagram tab already open in your browser. It is not an app, extension, or server following people for you. It uses your session on your computer.

It collects followers of accounts in your niche, removes people you already follow or who already follow you, and lets you choose who enters the follow queue.

Reach is a Studio tool. Anyone can read this guide, but generating the script requires the plan.

Step by step

  1. 01
    Configure ReachAdd niche accounts, your own accounts to exclude, accounts never to follow, and a per-run limit.
  2. 02
    Copy the scriptRead the terms notice, then copy the complete script.
  3. 03
    Open Instagram's consoleOpen instagram.com, then Cmd Option I on Mac or Ctrl Shift J on Windows. Choose Console, paste, and press Enter.
  4. 04
    Choose Follow or UnfollowScan and choose accounts, or review people who do not follow you back. Leave the tab open until the run ends.

What happens while it runs

ScanReach requests followers page by page, with pauses between requests.
FilterIt removes your accounts, exclusions, existing follows, and existing followers.
Follow queueSelected accounts enter a queue. Pauses do not remove the risk or guarantee that Meta will permit the activity.
RememberYour browser records recent follows so the next run does not offer them again.

How to tell if it worked

The Reach card in Tools shows when a run started and ended, how many accounts it scanned, and how many follows it made. Only run totals return to the workspace, not usernames or lists.

The risks, plainly

Reach automates actions and collects information from Instagram. That use may violate Meta's terms and may lead to limits, suspension, or account closure. The Agentcy does not control Meta's decisions or guarantee that your account will avoid enforcement. The account and the risk are yours.

Use Reach only if you accept that risk. If Instagram limits an action, stop the run and follow the platform's instructions. The Agentcy is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta.

Is it in the free plan?No. Reach is part of Studio.
