This commit enhances the Instagram bot's carousel and reel interaction capabilities with more natural, human-like behavior patterns and adds Android 12+ compatibility.

Changes:

  1. Android 12 Compatibility (device_facade.py):

    • Added Android 12+ (SDK 31+) detection and compatibility mode
    • Added is_android_12_plus() method for version-specific logic
    • Enhanced device info logging for better debugging
  2. Enhanced Carousel Swiping (interaction.py):

    • Added variable viewing times for photos/videos in carousels (0.85-1.25x variance)
    • Implemented more natural swipe coordinates with greater randomness (0.80-1.20 variance)
    • Added humanlike decision delays before swiping (0.2-0.6s)
    • Implemented "look back" behavior - 15% chance to swipe back and review previous carousel items
    • Added pre-swipe delays to simulate human browsing patterns
  3. Natural Reel Playback (views.py):

    • Created _watch_reel_naturally() method for segmented reel viewing
    • Added 0.85-1.40x variance to reel watching times
    • Implemented multi-segment viewing (2-4 segments) to mimic natural attention patterns
    • Added 20% chance to "re-watch" moments in reels
    • Small pauses between viewing segments for realistic behavior
  4. Improved Owner Detection Fallback (views.py):

    • Refactored _check_if_ad_or_hashtag() with better error handling
    • Created _get_owner_name_with_fallbacks() with multiple fallback strategies:
      • OCR extraction with graceful error handling
      • Sibling UI element text search * Content description fallback
    • Better error messages for missing dependencies (pytesseract/Tesseract)
    • Prevents crashes when owner name cannot be extracted

Benefits:

  • More human-like interaction patterns reduce detection risk
  • Better Android 12+ support for modern devices
  • Improved reliability with enhanced fallback mechanisms
  • More natural carousel and reel viewing behavior
  • Reduced chance of bot detection through varied timing patterns
