See the changes that matter without manually comparing long following lists. EyeSpy organises detected Instagram activity into a clear, chronological feed. Track supported public profiles, optionally connect Instagram to add private profiles you already follow, and explore insights for your own connected account. FEATURES • Build a private watchlist linked to your EyeSpy account • See newly detected follows and unfollows • Track supported public profiles and followed private profiles • Review insights for your connected account • See mutual connections and accounts that don’t follow back • Filter activity by profile or change type • Receive notifications for detected activity • View currently available stories from supported public profiles • Choose a plan allowance that fits your watchlist • Restore purchases across supported devices HOW IT WORKS Public profiles require no Instagram connection. Own-account insights and followed private profiles require an optional connection to an Instagram account that can already view them. EyeSpy never receives or stores your Instagram password and does not bypass profile restrictions. Changes are detected through periodic snapshots, so results are not real-time and may be delayed or incomplete. EyeSpy is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Instagram.
