Visible data only
We never describe SeeWho as a way to bypass Instagram privacy or retrieve data Instagram does not display.
Editorial and product methodology
How SeeWho tests Instagram follower-change guidance
See the evidence standards, product checks, privacy boundaries, and correction process behind SeeWho guides and landing pages.
Comparison, not reconstruction
A first scan creates a baseline. Claims about changes require a later record to compare against it.
Specific privacy language
We separate local browser history from broader claims about devices, app stores, Instagram, and third-party services.
The review sequence
How a claim earns its place
- 1
Define the visible starting point
We begin with a profile and list that the signed-in Instagram account can already view. A test is rejected if it depends on hidden or private data.
- 2
Save a dated baseline
The first scan records the visible names and the time of the check. It is not described as earlier history.
- 3
Create or observe a known change
Where practical, we use controlled accounts to add or remove a follow. Otherwise, we wait for a later list state and document the scan interval.
- 4
Compare the product result
We check whether SeeWho reports the expected addition or removal and whether ambiguous states are presented with appropriate limits.
- 5
Review storage and permissions
We inspect the current extension behavior, store disclosure, and local-history flow before making privacy or password claims.
- 6
Date the evidence
Articles include a meaningful updated date only after the text, test, source, or product behavior has actually changed.
Source hierarchy
What we trust first
1. Direct product tests: reproducible behavior in the current SeeWho release.
2. Official documentation: Instagram, browser-store, platform, and privacy documentation.
3. Current public listings: dated checks of features, permissions, pricing, and availability.
4. Clearly labeled interpretation: practical advice that is not presented as a platform fact.
Corrections and limits
Instagram interfaces and extension behavior can change. If a guide no longer matches the product or an official source, email support@seewho.xyz. We correct the claim and update the review date only when the page receives a real revision.
