Editorial Policy

The rules we follow for every guide and tool page on PostsViewer, so you can trust what you read.

Last updated: [DATE]

Draft for legal review. This page describes how the site works today. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and should be checked before launch.

Only what really works

We describe a feature only if it works today. Our tools never show made-up results, and every page states the real limits: public accounts only, and counts instead of lists of followers. We don't promise ways to see private accounts.

How we describe our tools

Every tool page says what the tool does, what it needs and where it stops. For example, the Instagram Follower Viewer shows counts, not lists of people, and the Instagram Story Downloader works only for public accounts and for stories that are live. If a feature depends on a service plan that is not enabled on this site, the page says so instead of showing anything made up.

Sources

  • Instagram's own Help Center and its official developer documentation.
  • Testing the steps ourselves in the Instagram app and on instagram.com.
  • When Instagram changes a feature, we update the guide and its “Last updated” date.

Independence

PostsViewer is independent and not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. Ads on the site are labelled “Advertisement” and do not decide what we write.

Safety first

We never recommend tools that ask for your Instagram password, and we explain the risks of unofficial viewer and downloader sites. See Safety.

Our guides

The guides are written to answer one question each, for example whether Instagram notifies you when you view a story. We state what we know, note what we could not verify, and do not make promises about results.
