About Recent Follows

Recent Follows is an independent project that aims to show which accounts were added to or removed from a public Instagram profile's follower and following lists between two checks. It works by taking a baseline snapshot and comparing it with a later one, grouping changes by observation window rather than claiming to show exact order or timing.

The product is currently a preview. The username form checks current public profile metadata, but ongoing monitoring and email reports are not yet active, and the dashboard uses fictional accounts and sample data. A collection schedule has not been set.

It covers public profiles only, blocks private accounts and never asks for an Instagram password. The site is open about its limits: it cannot recover activity from before tracking started and may miss follows that are reversed between snapshots. It is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.

Worth knowing

  • Supports public Instagram profiles only and does not ask for a password
