InstaPeep Editorial Team

Practical, no-nonsense guides on Instagram features, privacy and account behavior.

Who we are

The InstaPeep Editorial Team is the team behind InstaPeep. Because we build and maintain tools that work with public Instagram data every day (the Story Viewer, Recent Follows, Profile Viewer, Post Viewer, Reel Viewer and Highlight Viewer), we see first-hand how Instagram's features, notifications and privacy settings actually behave.

What we write about

  • Privacy: what other people can and cannot see when you view stories, highlights or profiles.
  • How-to guides: step-by-step walkthroughs for viewing public content, checking follows and managing your own account.
  • Explainers: what Instagram messages, errors and features really mean.
  • Relationships and family: balanced, practical advice for partners and parents.

How our guides are made

Articles are reviewed for accuracy against current Instagram functionality before publication, and we revisit them when Instagram changes how a feature works. Each guide shows when it was first published and when it was last updated. We only describe methods that work with public information; we do not publish instructions for accessing private accounts or bypassing Instagram's security.
