Direct mSpy tracking of individual Instagram followers is impossible. Workaround can be done by enabling the screen recorder. The screen recorder starts recording activities happening on the screen upon viewing followers list on Instagram, but to achieve this, the list must have been accessed only after installation and during a session of active screen recording.

 

Thus, when it comes to using mSpy for social media monitoring, especially if you need to have access to someone’s Instagram followers, some people feel that its capability has limitations. This has encouraged me in my quest as an experienced mSpy user to explore alternative methods within the application that can help accomplish this aim.

 

Understanding mSpy's Limitations

While it automatically provides services like message tracking features, calling facilities and GPS locations; it does not come with a way through which you can trace one’s IG followership status. To overcome this drawback needs quite some ingenuity.

 

Alternative Option: Using Screen Recorder as a Workaround

However there is another way out where you could use the feature referred as “Screen Recorder” in mSpy but here are few things you should bear in mind:

  • Post-Installation Activation: Turning on the screen recorder after installing mSpy will enable capturing of events occurring live on your device’s screen.
  • Capturing Follower Lists: The user may visit his/her Instagram follower list while the screen recorder is running whereby this action gets documented.
  • Conditional Effectiveness: How successful this method will be depends on whether or not an active screen recording session was initiated after installing of mSpy by users before opening their follower lists.

 

Concluding Insights

Although no specific plans were made for directly monitoring mSpy Instagram followers from within its range of functions, still there is some light at the end of tunnel coming from its feature called Screen Recorder. These facts show why one should understand fully what modern spy software can actually do as well as its limitations.

From my experiences using him app, I think that although this tool seems useful for catching real time experiences on a device, it does not perform as the best tool to follow Insta-followers. This function produces limited information about the user’s social media behavior in specific cases.
