Each account that raises suspicion as spam or a bot will be separated and sent to a special inbox. Now, here’s the cool part – you get to check them one by one. If it turns out they’re not spam, just hit “OK,” and they can become your followers.
Cleaning Up Fake Followers, Hassle-Free!
Now, if after the check, it turns out the account is a no-go (aka spam), don’t worry! You can click “Delete all spam followers” or just leave it be. If you choose to ignore it, all those spam accounts will be automatically wiped out after 30 days. No more stressing about followers who aren’t your pals.
Posts from accounts deemed as spam will also be automatically avoided on your account. They won’t show up on your timeline unless you give the green light. So, safer from strange posts.
Spam in Tags? Say Goodbye!
If you’re a magnet for tags from spam accounts, fret not. Now, they won’t show up on your posts if you don’t allow it. Just click “Delete all requests,” and poof, those suspicious tags vanish like magic!
