FAQ

About the visibility check

People use the word when Instagram quietly shows your posts to fewer people, for example by leaving them out of hashtag pages. Instagram doesn't send any notice, which is why people check.

We take your newest post that has hashtags and look for it in the recent posts of up to three of those hashtags. If it's there, people browsing them can find it.

Not necessarily. On very busy hashtags a post scrolls out of the recent list within minutes, and older posts are always gone from it. Post with a smaller hashtag and check again within the hour. If it's missing again and again, your reach is probably being limited.

Posts from private accounts never appear under hashtags for people who don't follow them. That's normal, not a shadowban.

Yes. A check counts as one of your daily lookups.
