How to farm hundreds of FB accounts at industrial scale / FB account farming guide 2027

I reckon 2027 isn't even the year, it's the number of useless farming guides people have put out by now, the decent ones usually show up after they're already outdated, either the whole thing or the one bit you actually needed

Why do we need a GOOGLE PIXEL?

Well how else are you going to farm 30 accounts on one device, I'll admit we used to stick to iPhones because of the reset function, but even those would drag old contacts along, you could really see it when the guy selling you a used iPhone had wiped everything and then you registered a new account and Facebook started suggesting his mates

Get GrapheneOS

GrapheneOS app screen with Personal and Private sections

it's an alternative operating system based on Android, basically it lets us create up to 30 independent profiles on one device

  • each has its own storage
  • its own photos
  • contacts
  • apps

So basically 3 of these phones let you farm 100 accounts at once, and no we're not talking about those stinking autoregs, if you didn't know, account trust directly affects the quality of the audience and what Facebook charges you per lead, want to check that one, take a blank account, farm it for 2 days and look at the ads FB serves you, surprise, it's crypto/gambling/nutra, what does that tell you? The account has zero trust and FB wants your money so it runs your shit ads to equally shit accounts, how it decides an ad is crap is a conversation for another article

Now let's automate the farming

Here are the words you'll have to learn ADB / Appium / scrcpy

ADB is the bridge for controlling a phone from your computer, installing apps, logs and monitoring

ADB architecture: clients, server and connected Android devices

Imagine your computer can tell your phone: "install this app", "open it", "take a screenshot", "show me the errors". That's what ADB does.

Say you've updated your app. ADB can install the new version on connected phones and collect logs if something breaks on one of them. You can bundle the commands into a script and run the whole sequence with one button each time

Appium handles automatic taps, swipes, filling in fields and finding interface elements

Say you need to test a form in an app: open it, find the name field, type something, hit "Save" and check that the entry appeared.

You describe that scenario in code, Python for example. Appium runs it, and the UiAutomator2 component helps find buttons and fields inside Android. It can look for a button by its name or ID, so you don't have to tie everything to one exact spot on the screen.

You can add waits and error handling: "wait for it to load", "if the button doesn't appear, save a screenshot".

scrspy shows the phone's screen on your computer and lets you control it with a mouse and keyboard.

Plug in the phone, launch the program and a window with its screen pops up on your computer. Click buttons with your mouse, type with your keyboard.

You can open a separate window for each phone. Handy for the initial setup and figuring out errors: you can see which screen the Appium scenario stopped on and step in manually. scrcpy can also record the screen

So what have we got, basically a rack of phones we can control from a computer, and a decent tech person can help automate the setup, if you need someone message me and I'll pass on a contact

What to set up in the phone profile before starting

  • Upload pictures and change the EXIF so the photos/videos weren't all created at the same moment, add the place where the photos were taken too (match the account's GEO and city) and obviously set the device to our Google Pixel, wow, magic
  • Load contacts, this is actually the trickiest bit because FB's first recommendations will come from those contacts, so head to a well-known forum and either find publicly available databases and take 200-300 contacts per account or write a scraper to do it for you
  • Of course each profile needs an eSIM, you can manage the profile-eSIM pairing right from your computer, select the profile and activate the SIM you need, there's a function for that EuiccManager.switchToSubscription()
  • and once you've got the SIM, register a regular Google email, then from the same computer using the programs above install Google Maps and allow location access, you can do all of this with that same eSIM because mobile internet doesn't tie one specific device to the network

Now register the FB account itself

And immediately forget about it, completely, all we care about is that the FB account exists and Facebook notifications are switched on in the profile, nothing more

Now go to the Play Store and download games, any bloody games with social login, worked out why yet?

Open a game and register through that same Facebook, repeat for around 10-15 games, doesn't have to be games either, utilities work too, the main thing is FB registration

First, we're farming the account pretty nicely, plus warming up the Google email on the side, even TikTok accounts for spam if you want, everyone will find their own use for it

Around day 2-3 of this activity Facebook starts bombarding you with pushes, upload a photo, tell us where you live, where you were born and so on, and here we act like the laziest kid in school, we only do what FB asks, it wants an avatar, great, use the phone (from the computer), open the gallery, set the avatar and leave again

Important, unless you've got a dozen farmers this all needs automating, and yes, writing a script that reacts to FB notifications when you can see all of them in the ADB logs is obviously an incredibly difficult task, caught the sarcasm?)

Keep farming like that for another week and would you look at that, once FB has collected enough data and you've added a few friends through those same pushes, you'll see your first shit ad, or a decent one if you really put the work in, generally what FB shows you is one of the main signs of whether it trusts you or not.

When can we start running traffic?

Still pretty simple, go to YouTube and find a couple of videos about launching FB ads, the guys making them for foreign markets usually leave an Ads Manager link in the description

Also make sure you collect a list of 100-200 sites with the FB pixel, that's how we'll build up cookies

Without overthinking it, go create a fan page yourself and forget about it, put the script back to scrolling the feed until one thing happens, FB itself suggests bringing users to your fan page with ads, and there it is, cue the fanfare, you've reached good-boy status with FB, link a card and launch an ad for the amount it suggests, you don't have to spend all of it, a couple of bucks will do, so you end up with a linked card and a strong social account you can use to put together a BM and a couple of ad accounts

How to get loads of FB conversations and friends without buying engagement?

This one's as old as the hills but hopefully useful to someone, start by registering an account as an attractive woman and, as you've probably guessed, head to one of those buy-and-sell pages or groups for a big Arab city, leave a comment like hey where's the best club/restaurant around here or a short post in the group, and trust me, by evening you'll have a hundred friend requests and a ton of messages, we monetise those on the side too, dating offers are still a thing and they actually cover the cost of the whole farming process
