Question 1

Is FollowCheck free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FollowCheck is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers for the core follower scanning features.

Question 2

Do I need to enter my Instagram password?

Accepted Answer

No. FollowCheck runs as a Chrome extension and operates on your active browser session. We never ask for, collect, or store your Instagram password.

Question 3

Does FollowCheck store my followers?

Accepted Answer

No, your data is processed locally in your browser. We do not run databases to collect your followers or account details. Your lists stay entirely on your device.

Question 4

Can I see who doesn't follow me back?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the scan is complete, FollowCheck will list everyone you follow who doesn't follow you back, as well as mutual connections and accounts you forgot to follow back.

Question 5

Does this work with private Instagram accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since the extension runs locally in your own browser session, it can analyze connections for private accounts that you have access to. It cannot view private accounts you do not follow.

Question 6

How long does an analysis take?

Accepted Answer

Typically, it takes less than a minute. The speed depends on the total number of connections (followers and followings) on your profile, as we throttle requests slightly to respect Instagram's rate limits.
