Instagram DM bot
Instagram DM bot:
two kinds, and only one is supported.
People use "DM bot" for two different things. One logs in as you and acts on your behalf. The other uses Instagram's official API to reply to people who interacted with you. The first breaks Instagram's rules; the second is the supported way.

What can trigger a DM

Rules every tool has to follow
These come from Meta's developer documentation and apply to all Instagram DM tools, including ReplyKaro.
- A comment can receive one private reply, sent within 7 days of the comment.
- Your account must be an Instagram Professional account (Business or Creator).
- After the person replies, the standard 24-hour messaging window applies.
- Meta caps private replies per hour. A good tool sends within that cap and queues the rest instead of failing.
- Tools that ask for your Instagram password, or run through a browser extension, are outside Meta's rules.
How ReplyKaro keeps your account within Meta's rules
- It connects with Instagram's official login. It never asks for your password and does not use bots or browser extensions.
- It only messages people who commented a keyword, replied to your Story, mentioned you or messaged you.
- It sends below Meta's hourly cap and queues the rest.
- You can pause any automation, and take over any chat yourself.
- No tool can guarantee an account will never be restricted. Keep messages relevant and avoid repeating identical text to large audiences.
ReplyKaro is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta or Instagram.
