Will my account get banned for using Replied?
Replied uses Meta's official Instagram Graph API (Instagram Login flow). All sends go through approved permissions: instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_manage_messages, instagram_business_manage_comments. We respect Meta's rate limits and the 24-hour messaging window. Same compliance posture as InstantDM for the parts we both do.
