IGDetective

IGDetective is an anonymous Instagram activity tracker for public accounts. Enter any public username and see who the account recently followed and unfollowed in chronological order — the order Instagram itself scrambles — along with whose posts it likes and comments on most. Free tools include an anonymous Instagram Story viewer (your name never appears in the viewer list), a Highlight viewer, a profile viewer, and a recent-follows viewer. Paid plans add daily automatic tracking, dated unfollow detection, a permanent Story Archive that keeps expired Stories, tracking for up to 5 profiles, and Gossip Chat, an AI assistant that summarizes what a profile has been up to. IGDetective never asks for your Instagram password and works only with publicly visible data; private accounts are out of scope.
