Red flags, green flags

Walk away when it

  • asks for your own Instagram password.
  • asks you to message the account beforehand.
  • wants an app put on their phone.

Stay when it

  • works from a username alone.
  • sends nothing from your account.
  • keeps every answer on one screen.

e.g. A tool that wants your password is after your account, not somebody else's.

sense 3 · the verb

How it works

You open the Instavade hub and type the Instagram username you keep thinking about. It gathers what that profile's public face leaves out: messages, visitors, screenshots, story replays and the followers who left. Then it puts all of it on one screen, ready to read.

Usage note: people often say they wish they had not looked. Think before you type.
