Is there a TrackFollowing alternative without an extension?

Yes. The Instagram Following Tracker runs on the web. You paste a public username once, and it checks automatically every week. Nothing to install.

Do I have to open the profile to record changes?

No. Checks run on their own every week, even if you never open Instagram. You get an email when results are ready.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The dashboard works in any mobile or desktop browser, and your history is saved to your account, not to one browser.

Yes, weekly checks are free for one public account with up to 10,000 followers and following.

Can I track several profiles?

A free account tracks one handle at a time. Switching handles starts a fresh history.

TrackFollowing Alternative (2026): Automatic Instagram Tracking, No Extension

Quick answer

TrackFollowing only records changes when you open a profile and click Analyze in its Chrome extension. The Instagram Following Tracker checks automatically every week, works on your phone, and emails you when results are ready. It's free, with nothing to install.

Extension-based trackers compare snapshots you take yourself. Forget to check for a few weeks and you've lost that history. In free mode the history also stays in that one browser. An automatic web tracker fixes both.

Track automatically, no extension

Free weekly checks for public accounts up to 10,000 followers.
