For Instagram

The newest reels for a hashtag or a keyword.

Instagram can't sort a hashtag by date. AyeWatch monitors a hashtag or a keyword search and sends the new reels as they are posted.

WHAT YOU CAN MONITOR

Two ways
to monitor Instagram.

A hashtag or a keyword search. Instagram profiles can't be monitored yet.

2 credits a check

Add Only alert me about to any source and AI reads each new post, alerting you only on the ones that match. It adds 1 credit a check.

WHAT YOU GET

What's new on Instagram,
not the whole feed.

Each update links to the new posts and shows their captions. Several posts in one check arrive together in one alert.

  • The first check sends the latest posts, so you see the monitor work right away.
  • After that, a check alerts you only when something new is posted.
  • Failed checks give their credits back.

GOOD TO KNOW

What it doesn't do
on Instagram.

  • Instagram profiles can't be monitored yet. Use a hashtag or a search.
  • Posts from private accounts never show up.
  • Stories and comments aren't read.
  • Instagram decides which posts its search returns, so very large hashtags won't return every post.

A few things
to know

Can I sort an Instagram hashtag by recent?

Instagram has no sort by date on hashtag pages. A Hashtag monitor collects new posts as they appear, in the order they were posted.

Can I get alerts when someone posts on Instagram?

Not yet. Instagram profile monitoring isn't supported. A hashtag or a keyword search is the closest option.

Do I need an Instagram account?

No. You type the hashtag or the search, and AyeWatch does the reading.

Will I get old posts?

The first check sends up to 5 of the latest posts, or only the ones that match your filter, so you can see the monitor work. After that you only hear about new posts.

How much does Instagram monitoring cost?

Every Instagram source uses 2 credits a check. Only alert me about adds 1 credit. Free Preview includes 3 credits to try it, with no card. Paid plans add more credits and faster checks.
