Somebody is using botted followers to get my account banned.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help on removing followers.

I believe there is no option to remove them all at once but removing them would only be through blocking or unfriending these followers and you can only do this one by one.

But I do not believe you can get banned for having many followers though as this is not against any guidelines from what I have researched.

If you really want to remove them, just make sure to block them one by one and I suggest you also change your privacy settings so that you can filter gamers that can follow or add you.

You can adjust that here:

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing unwanted bot followers. It's important to take action as soon as possible to prevent any potential negative consequences.

Firstly, it's unlikely that you will get banned for having bot followers, as this is not something that you have intentionally done. However, having a high number of fake followers can negatively impact your account's credibility and engagement rates, which could ultimately hurt your reputation and growth potential.

To stop getting bot followers, there are a few things you can do:

Change your account's privacy settings to "private." This will prevent any new bot followers from being able to follow your account without your approval.

Use an app or service to identify and remove any bot followers that are already following you. There are several tools available, such as HypeAuditor and IG Audit, which can help you detect and remove fake followers.

Avoid using third-party services or apps that promise to increase your follower count. These services often use bots to follow and unfollow accounts, which can result in a high number of fake followers on your account.

It's important to keep in mind that building an engaged and authentic following takes time and effort. Rather than focusing on the number of followers, focus on creating quality content that resonates with your target audience, engaging with your existing followers, and building genuine connections within your community.
