Since its release a few years ago, the following tracker for Instagram has had a bad reputation, but that's really the fault of some underhanded tools and bad advice given by people looking to grow their following in ways we wouldn't recommend.

Several of the horrible apps have either stopped working (thanks to Instagram's API update) or have become less popular as the hashtag social network has become a valuable marketing tool for brands and influencers alike.


The Follower Tracker is a tool that shows you how many followers you have on Instagram.

Apps and services that help you track your Instagram followers come in many shapes and sizes, but their main purpose is to make it easy to track your follower count, see who unfollowed you, view accounts that you follow who don't follow you back, and see how this changes over time.

When it comes to viewing your followers on Instagram, the Instagram Insights feature is one of the best parts of the app. But it cannot provide you with more information about who follows and does not follow you, as well as who you follow and do not follow. Therefore, many companies and services have developed methods of getting this information and displaying it in a way that makes it useful to users.
