Google Chrome script that allows user to mass like instagram posts, automatically presses "next" and likes post.

like-post-instagram.js

// Run GOOGLE CHROME - WORKING AS OF JULY 21 2025
// Please @ me in the comments if this stops working, I will try to get it working again within the month

// INSTRUCTIONS
// 1. Open Instagram in Chrome
// 2. Search for a hashtag (eg. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hikingadventures/)
// 3. Click on a photo to reveal the like button as well as arrows for navigating between photos
// 3. Open developer tools by right clicking on the page and clicking "INSPECT"
// 4. Copy the code below and paste in the developer tools console and press enter to run
// 5. Script will not run if tab is navigated away from, minimized of unfocused (It is recommended to open a new chrome window or push tab to the side and let script run in background)

// SCRIPT WILL CLICK ON "LIKE" BUTTON AND THEN NAVIGATE TO THE FOLLOWING POST

const likeAndClickPosts = (async () => {
  // Modify these variables to your liking
  const LIKE_LIMIT = 800;

  const BREAK_DURATION = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes break

  const TOTAL_DURATION = 10 * 60 * 1000; // 10 minutes duration - Timeout after 10 minutes

  const delay = (ms) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

  console.log("Start like posts script...");

  let startTime = new Date().getTime();

  while (new Date().getTime() - startTime < TOTAL_DURATION) {
    for (let i = 0; i < LIKE_LIMIT; i++) {
      // GET LIKE BUTTON
      const firstLike = document
        .querySelector('svg[aria-label="Like"]')
        .closest('[role="button"]');
      if (firstLike) {
        // SCROLL LIKE BUTTON INTO VIEW
        firstLike.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded();

        firstLike.click();
        console.log("Clicked like button...\n");
      }

      await delay(100);
      // CLICK PAGINATION ARROW
      const nextArrow = document
        .querySelector('svg[aria-label="Next"]')
        .closest('[type="button"]');
      if (nextArrow) {
        await nextArrow.click();
      }

      // Increase LIKE_INTERVAL and/or BREAK_DURATION if you are getting rate limited
      const LIKE_INTERVAL = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1) * 5000; // Set this to 0 to like as many posts as quickly as possible - not recommended

      console.log(
        `Wait ${Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1) * 5000} milliseconds`
      );
      await delay(LIKE_INTERVAL);
      console.log(`Liked #${i + 1} post(s) so far...`);
    }

    console.log(`Taking a break for ${BREAK_DURATION / 1000} seconds...`);
    await delay(BREAK_DURATION); // Take a break to avoid rate limiting
    startTime = new Date().getTime(); // Reset start time for the next cycle
  }

  console.log("Like script complete!");
})();

Could it be possible to see if a Button Follow is founded and if not scroll until a Button is founded ?
I get several error with scrolling if there is no Follow button visible

Hey would you be able to post a screenshot of the error? The tab either has to be open while running the script or you can have it in the background but you can’t navigate to another tab or minimize the window while the script is running for it to work.

There should be no scrolling needed since upon clicking “next” the like heart icon should be visible

yes but it have to be visible. So if I follow already people in the middle of the chain, then an error occur because no like is visible.

I need to scroll down all the list to load all the follow buttons and the error don't came anymore

Hi, Is there a mass Like for Twitter?

@WilliamLuppi Probably if you search around on github there will likely be someone who created something similar for twitter. I don't use twitter alot so I probably won't invest time in making a similar script for the twitter interface sorry.

Getting this error not sure why what i am doing wrong .

Hey @denmoex, I might have to update this script as it could be out of date due to instagram's update. Right now the only script that is working is my follow script. I'll have some time later this month to fix this one

Amazing thanks .. I got u coffe lol

Den

Update: This script should be working again as of March 23 2025.

It still work on 15-5-2025
