I’ve been using this method for a long time and it really works if you follow the steps carefully. A lot of people say it doesn’t work, but the issue is usually missing one small step. I’m not a tech person at all, so if I can do it, anyone can. Just make sure you clear the console before pasting the code and don’t forget to replace the username correctly. Also, don’t run it daily to avoid account issues. For more simple guides and useful tools like this, you can also check 👉 https://apk8dd.com/

this would work every single day then all of sudden this happens today
