Auto Like Instagram Posts, Free
Instagram Like Butler is a free tool for auto instagram likes: it likes the recent posts and reels of the Instagram accounts you pick, at a pace that keeps your account healthy.
Free forever - no license required, works even after trial or cancellation.
What is Instagram Like Butler?
Instagram Like Butler is a free auto liker for Instagram. You list up to 10 accounts, and it opens each profile in a Chrome window on your own computer, likes their most recent posts and reels at a pace you set, and skips anything you already liked. It runs inside the Influencer Butler desktop app for Windows and Mac and stays free forever: no license, no quota.
The point is reciprocity, not gaming a number. When you like a creator's or brand's posts consistently, your handle keeps appearing in their activity, and that familiarity pays off when you later comment, send a DM, or pitch them.
Open profile. Open post. Tap heart. Back. Next post. Tap heart.
Pick the accounts. Set your limits. Walk away.
What it does not do
Many people search for "auto likes" hoping to get more likes on their own posts. This is not that. Instagram Like Butler does not buy likes, add followers, or place likes on your own posts. It likes other accounts' posts so the people you want to reach notice you. If you want more engagement on your own content, start with why saves and shares beat likes and check where you stand with the free engagement rate calculator.
How to auto like Instagram posts, step by step
Install and sign in
Download the free desktop app for Windows or Mac. Sign in to Instagram once in the window the butler opens. It shares that sign-in with the other Instagram butlers.
Add the accounts
Enter 1 to 10 creators or brands in your niche, as @username or a profile URL. Give any prolific account its own max-likes cap.
Set limits and start
Pick max likes per run and the delay between likes, then click Start. Watch the first pass, then turn on the scheduler to repeat it.
Safe settings to start with
Instagram throttles accounts that act too fast, so the defaults are deliberately slow. Start here and raise things gradually.
| Setting | Starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Max likes per run | 10 (the default) | A run-wide budget across all accounts. Raise it a little at a time. |
| Delay between likes | 8 to 12 seconds | Anything under 5 seconds invites rate-limiting. |
| Recent posts per account | 30 (the default) | How many of each account's newest posts to check. |
| Schedule | Once a day, or every 12 hours | More often rarely adds value and raises the risk of throttling. |
| Like every recent post | Off | Posts liked on an earlier run are skipped, so activity looks natural. |
| Only like during set hours | Optional | Keeps likes inside part of the day. A window can run overnight. |
Is it safe? An honest answer
Instagram's rules restrict automated activity, and no tool can promise your account will never be limited. Instagram Like Butler is built to be conservative: per-account caps, human-length delays, small scheduled runs, and a guard that stops the run cleanly when Instagram shows a "please wait a few minutes" or challenge screen. Start with the defaults, keep runs small, and use it on an account you can afford to pause.
If Instagram does block a run, wait a few hours, raise your delay, and run again.

- Stay visible in the notifications of the creators and brands you want to work with, without living on the app.

Auto liking Instagram: common questions
How do I auto like Instagram posts?
Install the Influencer Butler desktop app, open Instagram Like Butler, add the usernames you want to engage with, set a max likes per run and a delay between likes, and click Start. The app opens each profile in a Chrome window on your computer and likes the most recent posts and reels, skipping any you already liked. Turn on the built-in scheduler to repeat the run.
Is there a free auto liker for Instagram?
Yes. Instagram Like Butler is free forever and stays unlocked on every Influencer Butler account, including after a trial ends or a subscription is cancelled. You need the free desktop app for Windows or Mac.
What are auto instagram likes?
Auto instagram likes are likes placed by a tool instead of by hand. Instagram Like Butler is a free auto instagram likes tool built into the Influencer Butler desktop app: you pick the accounts, set a daily cap and a delay between likes, and it works through their recent posts and reels for you, skipping anything already liked.
Is auto liking on Instagram safe? Will my account get banned?
No tool can promise that. Instagram's rules restrict automated activity, and accounts that act too fast can be rate-limited or asked to verify. Instagram Like Butler uses per-account caps, human-length delays, small scheduled runs, and a stop-on-block guard. Start with the defaults, keep runs small, and use it on an account you can afford to pause.
Will this get more likes on my own posts?
Not directly. It likes other accounts' posts so your handle shows up in the activity of creators and brands you want to work with. It does not buy likes, add followers, or put likes on your own posts.
How many likes should I give per day?
Start at 10 likes per run with an 8 to 12 second delay, and run once a day or every 12 hours. Raise the number gradually. Delays under 5 seconds invite throttling, and running more often than every 12 hours rarely adds value.
Does it work on a phone?
No. It runs inside the Influencer Butler desktop app for Windows and Mac, using a Chrome window on your own computer. The app needs to be open when a scheduled run starts.
What is the difference between Instagram Like Butler and Like Butler?
Instagram Like Butler likes posts and reels on Instagram. Like Butler is a separate tool that auto-likes Amazon creator storefronts. Both are free forever.
