FollowBell
Picuki stopped showing Instagram. FollowBell didn’t.
Their stories, without your name in the viewers. Everyone they follow, sorted. An alert when they follow someone new.
For any public Instagram account, with no Instagram login.
No Instagram login. No trace.
What happened to Picuki
Picuki was a free website: type a username, see a public Instagram profile, its posts and its stories, no account needed. Since late 2025, picuki.com sends visitors to tikvib.com, a TikTok viewer, in every Internet Archive capture we checked, from November 2025 to September 2026.
Sites with “Picuki” in their address still turn up in searches. They are not the original, and we did not test them. A real viewer never asks for your Instagram password.

What a web viewer still does better
- Any device. A website opens on an iPhone or a laptop. FollowBell is Android only.
- Free. Web viewers cost nothing to use. In FollowBell, stories, watching and alerts are a subscription.
- Posts. A viewer shows the post grid. FollowBell opens posts in Instagram instead of copying them.
- Downloads. Viewers often let you save photos and stories. FollowBell never does.
What FollowBell adds
A website shows you a profile when you think of checking. FollowBell keeps reading it for you.
Their story, without your name in the list.
No Instagram login, so there is no account of yours to appear in their viewers. And a notification when they post a new one.
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.
Everyone they follow, face by face.
Type a username and the whole following list sorts itself: women, men, other. An estimate, and it says so.
Questions people are asking
Is Picuki still working for Instagram?
Not at picuki.com. Internet Archive captures from November 2025 to September 2026 show picuki.com forwarding visitors to tikvib.com, a TikTok viewer. Other sites now use the Picuki name on other addresses; they are not the original, and we did not test them.
Is FollowBell made by the people behind Picuki?
No. FollowBell is an independent Android app, made in Europe, with no link to Picuki.
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. It does not save, download or share them.
Does FollowBell work on private accounts?
No. Public accounts only, like Picuki and every tool that needs no login.
Is FollowBell free?
Looking someone up is free and shows a blurred preview. Every name, stories, watching an account and notifications are a subscription, billed through Google Play, with the full price shown before you pay. That is what pays for reading accounts again and again to catch every change.
Stories, follows and alerts, in one app.
Android. No Instagram login, ever.
