How accurate are the changes?
We compare completed public lists by stable Instagram IDs instead of inferring changes from list position. Data can still be restricted or unavailable. We show check times and keep incomplete collections out of the verified comparison chain.
What is included in each plan?
Weekly is $5.99 per week after a 7-day trial and includes 3 active Watches. Monthly is $17.49 per month after a 14-day trial and includes 10 active Watches. Both unlock manual searches, available full-list browsing, 90-day change history, and private email alerts. A payment method is required; trials automatically renew unless canceled. Trial eligibility is limited to one per Stripe customer.
How do I cancel?
Open Billing in your account and use the secure billing portal to manage or cancel your subscription. You retain access until the paid or trial period ends, unless the portal indicates otherwise. Deleting a Watch does not cancel billing.
What happens when I delete a Watch?
The profile disappears from your Watchlist, its history disappears from your dashboard, and no more alerts are sent for that Watch. Public snapshots shared with other active Watches may remain.
What if a search fails?
Check the exact public username and retry after a few minutes. A private profile cannot expose its lists. If Instagram provides only part of a list, we keep it out of verified change detection. Contact support with the username and check time if the problem persists.
Questions, answered.
Can I check a private Instagram account?
No. Recently Followed checks publicly available lists. It does not bypass private profiles or request access on your behalf.
Can I see the exact date a follow happened?
Instagram does not publish exact follow dates for other accounts. We show when a change was first detected and the interval between completed checks.
Will the account get notified?
Recently Followed does not connect your Instagram account or interact with the searched profile on your behalf. Your Watchlist and search records are private.
Do you recover old following history?
No. Verified tracking starts after the baseline is complete. We cannot recover activity that happened before monitoring.
