FAQ
Are mutual followers the same as close friends?
No. Mutuals are simply accounts you follow that also follow you back.
Do I need my Instagram password?
No. SecureFollow uses the official export ZIP only.
Why is my mutual list empty?
There may be no overlap, or your export is missing files.
How often should I refresh?
Whenever you want updated counts, request a new export.
