Instagram Activity Tracker

Follow a public account’s new follows, unfollows and follower changes on one dated timeline, without it knowing.

ONE TIMELINE

How PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker shows follow activity

Each scan compares a public account’s Following and Followers with the last complete scan. Every difference lands on one timeline, dated by the scan that detected it.

PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker keeps the four kinds of change apart. A new follow never gets mixed up with a new follower.

  • A filter for each kind of change
  • Totals and a chart for any date range
  • Every tracked account together in Track Feed

HOW TO

How to track Instagram following activity

Pick an account, pick the lists, read the timeline.

  1. Find the public profile

    Enter a username in PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker. Recently followed opens first, and Recent followers shows the audience side.

    The preview shows today’s lists. Changes start once you track.

  2. Choose the lists

    Sign in and pick Following, Followers or both. Each list shows its price before you confirm, and its first complete scan in PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker is the starting point.

    You can change the lists or the schedule later, in the account’s settings.

  3. Read the timeline

    Open the account from your Track list. Each later scan adds what PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker detected.

    On paid plans, ask the AI Analyst what changed this month.

Any public account

Instagram’s Shared activity only covers your own connections, one account at a time. This works on any public account.

No guessing from list order

Instagram’s list order shifts between visits, so the top isn’t proof of a recent follow. Changes here come from full scans.

Pauses for private accounts

If a tracked account goes private, tracking pauses, then picks up on its own once the account is public again.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Instagram Activity Tracker FAQs

No. Likes, comments and messages aren’t public lists, so it covers follows only. To check who liked a post, use PenguinRadar Instagram Likes Viewer.

Yes. Open its Following list in the app, or check its recently followed Instagram accounts on PenguinRadar. To catch new follows as scans detect them, track it in PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker.

Yes, it’s free to start. A free account tracks 1 account with no time limit. Eligible new users get 50 credits once, plus 10 to claim every day. See plans and pricing.

No. PenguinRadar Instagram Activity Tracker never tells tracked accounts, nothing shows up in their notifications, and PenguinRadar never follows, unfollows or messages anyone.

Count checks are free and run every 24 hours on Free, 24 on Lite, 12 on Starter and 12 on Pro. A list scan runs when its count moves, or after a week, and you see its price first.

Not always. Follower tracking needs a public, non-verified account with up to 100,000 followers and a visible list. Following tracking may still work when follower tracking doesn’t.
