What FollowBell adds
You stop checking. FollowBell tells you when there is something to see.
A new story? You know.
Open it without your name in their viewers, because there is no Instagram login. Stories last 24 hours, so the notification is what makes you catch them.
Never miss who they follow next.
A new follow lands on your lock screen while it still means something. Unfollows too, and whether the new person follows back.
Do these two follow each other?
Pick two accounts. FollowBell checks follows, likes on the six latest posts and tags, both ways, in one screen.
Questions people are asking
Is FollowBell made by the people behind Imginn?
No. FollowBell is an independent Android app, made in Europe, with no link to Imginn.
What does FollowBell do that Imginn does not?
It keeps watching. FollowBell sorts everyone a public account follows into women, men and other, and sends a notification for each new follow, each new story and each profile change. It also checks two accounts together.
Do I need to log in to Instagram?
Never. You type a public username. No Instagram login and no password, so there is no account of yours to appear in a story's viewer list.
Can I download stories or posts with FollowBell?
No. FollowBell plays stories and highlights, and opens posts in Instagram. If downloading is what you need, a web viewer like Imginn fits better.
Can Imginn or FollowBell show a private account?
No. Imginn says so itself, and FollowBell is the same: public accounts only.
Does FollowBell work on iPhone?
Not yet. FollowBell is an Android app, on Google Play.
