Why use a Macau number for Instagram?
Instagram is one of the most used apps in Macau, alongside WeChat and WhatsApp. A local +853 number makes creator and shop accounts aimed at local followers look native rather than foreign.
Zhuhai cross-border life: People living in Zhuhai or Hengqin and working in Macau keep a +853 number alongside a mainland one.
Instagram often asks new accounts to confirm the phone number again after a few days of activity.
