This program will let you being displayed as typing on Instagram, for ever!
The script is Selenium based and will mimic a user going to dm, and start writing..
I would have liked to, but the Instagram web app isn't using http call to trigger this writing event, and I do think that the android app is acting same
git clone https://github.com/ghrlt/writing-forever
cd writing-forever
python3 app.py
The program will next ask you your Instagram username & password; input them
It is safe. Plain credentials are not stored in any way. Only Instagram cookies are saved and you can delete them if you want (WritingForever.<username>.cookies)
Then, you will be asked if you want to use proxy, altough I do not recommend to.
Few seconds after, you will be prompted a list of your latest 16 chats, input the id of the chat you want to appear as writing and.. That's all !
You can write random password as long as the cookie file is still there and valid
Proxy must be http/https
KeyboardInterrupt handling is broken.. Feel free to fork & fix
You can disable headless mode by running app like that
python3 app.py no-h
