NewSlideshows
One-slide slideshows post to Instagram
A slideshow with a single slide can now go to Instagram, where it posts as a single photo. Two or more slides still post as a carousel, and a reel made from the slides still needs at least two.

New features and improvements in Pamba, newest first.

TikTok sounds that aren't available
When TikTok says a post's sound isn't available, the post now fails with that reason instead of a generic sound error, so you know to pick another sound before you retry.
ImprovedComments
Instagram automations message the newest comments first
On Instagram, comment-to-DM automations now answer each post's newest comment first, your posts taking turns, so on a post that keeps getting comments the DMs go out while the comments are fresh and your other posts' DMs still get their turn. A DM whose comment can't be found no longer uses one of the account's 20 DMs that day.

Instagram automations skip private profiles
On Instagram, a comment-to-DM automation no longer tries to message someone whose profile is private, since Instagram gives no way to message them from it. Their comment gets your fallback reply instead, spread out with the account's comments within a week, and they don't use one of the account's 20 DMs that day, so the day's DMs go to people who can get them.

The TikTok and Instagram pair price stays where you have it
If you sign up for Pamba from now on, every TikTok or Instagram account costs $100 a month. If you joined before this change, every workspace you own, a new one included, keeps the second account of each TikTok and Instagram pair at $50 a month.
ImprovedPosting & scheduling
Scheduled posts keep clear of new accounts being set up on the same phone
When a phone has a new account coming (a seat you bought or an account being recreated), the time its setup needs is booked on the phone's schedule from the start, so a post you schedule on that phone is placed around it and keeps the time you picked.
NewAccounts· Updated Nov 7
Replace a suspended Instagram account for free
When Instagram suspends one of your accounts, or asks it for identity verification, after its first day, you can create a new account in its place for free (one a month per account slot), on a new phone, and admins get an email with a link to do it. Until then its warming stops and its scheduled posts wait for the new account, starting when you choose, or go back on schedule if the account turns out to work.
NewWarming
A warming niche for each account
Accounts in one workspace can now warm in different niches. Every account follows your workspace niche until you give it, or its avatar, a niche of its own on its page.

Suspended Instagram accounts are replaced by the Pamba team
When Instagram suspends one of your accounts in its first day, or bans one, the Pamba team replaces it for you. Until then, recreating it, or another Instagram account on its device, is refused because the device is held. An account suspended after its first day you can now replace yourself, for free.
NewPosting & scheduling
TikTok stories, and videos on Instagram stories
Post a picture or a video to a TikTok account's story, seen by everyone, now or at a time you pick. Instagram stories take a video as well as a picture.
ChangedAccounts
The high-demand notice on account seats no longer depends on your order
When you buy account seats, the notice that new accounts may take up to 3 days to be created now shows whenever new phones are short, whatever seats you pick.
ChangedPosting & scheduling
TikTok business accounts and sounds not cleared for commercial use
TikTok lets a business account post only with sounds cleared for commercial use, so a post with another sound now fails right away with that reason instead of a generic sound error. From then on, the sound searches for that account's avatar list only cleared sounds.
ImprovedAccounts
Accounts without an avatar count everywhere
Your accounts that no avatar is linked to now count wherever an avatar's would. Instagram and Facebook warnings about them reach your workspace, your weekly recap counts their views, and your Facebook ones show in Analytics and in your accounts list.
ImprovedComments
Automations wait while Instagram blocks an account's messages
When Instagram stops one of your Instagram accounts from sending messages, its comment-to-DM automations hold that account's messages until the block ends. The automation names the account, and the account picker says when its DMs resume.
Read the guideChangedComments
Comment-to-DM automations send the link once they reply
An automation now sends two messages. The first asks the person to reply and has no link; when they reply yes, Pamba sends the second, with your link. Instagram doesn't let someone who doesn't follow you tap a link until they reply, and sending links only to people who asked for them keeps your accounts from being flagged as spam.

A new Instagram account's name can arrive a few days after it is made
When a new Instagram account is made on a phone that already holds another Instagram account, Instagram asks for no name at signup, so Pamba now sets the name you gave the account, or its avatar's, about three days after it is made. If you change the name before then, the name you set is the one it keeps.

Mention accounts in TikTok captions
Write @handle in a video's or a slideshow's caption and the post links that account, on TikTok as on Instagram. A TikTok caption can mention up to 5 accounts.
Read the guideChangedAccounts
High demand on account seats is read per platform
When you buy account seats, the notice that new accounts may take up to 3 days to be created now looks at each platform in your order, so an order only for platforms with room is not told to wait.
ChangedAccounts
Imports only you can move on come back to you
When an account import Pamba's team is finishing needs something only you can do, such as approving the sign-in on your own phone, it comes back to you with the reason, and you retry it once that's done.
ImprovedAnalytics
Usernames in Analytics open the profile
A post's username in Analytics opens that profile on TikTok or Instagram.
NewComments
Comment-to-DM automations
Pick a word. When someone comments it on a TikTok or Instagram post, Pamba replies to the comment and sends them a DM with your link. An automation covers every post on the accounts you choose, and the Comments page shows each reply and message it sent.
Read the guideImprovedComments
When comments were last checked
The Comments page says when Pamba last checked your accounts for new comments.
ChangedAccounts
Archived accounts are read-only
An archived account keeps its posts and history in Analytics, and nothing runs on it: no posts, warming, comments or profile edits.
ImprovedAccounts
Switch a waiting seat between connect and create
A seat still waiting for its account can switch between connecting an account you own and having Pamba create one.
ImprovedAccounts
New accounts start as soon as each name is picked
In the username picker, each account starts being created the moment its name is saved, instead of waiting for the whole order. You can also set a TikTok account's display name, or an Instagram account's first and last name, as you pick.
ImprovedAnalytics
Low sample size on audience numbers
Audience numbers read from too few viewers are marked Low sample size.
NewPosting & scheduling
Trial reels, and Professional accounts from Pamba
Post a reel as a trial. Instagram shows it first to people who don't follow you, and you choose whether it ever reaches your followers or only once it performs well. You can also switch an Instagram account to Professional and pick its category.

First-frame covers

Posted posts show whether Pamba found them
A posted post shows whether Pamba found it on the account: Verified, Not visible or Not matched.
ChangedPosting & scheduling
The same content goes out once per platform
The same video or slideshow can't be scheduled on two accounts of one platform. Posting it to a TikTok and an Instagram account still works.
ImprovedSlideshows
One-slide TikTok slideshows
A TikTok slideshow can be a single slide. An Instagram one still needs two.
NewPosting & scheduling
