The difference

Instagram Doesn't Show You Everything

Watcholy surfaces the details Instagram hides — and keeps watching long after the Story is gone.

New

Reveal Hidden Tags

Some creators drag @mentions completely off-screen so nobody viewing the Story can see who was tagged.

Watcholy automatically detects those hidden mentions and reveals who was actually tagged.

Just because a tag isn't visible doesn't mean it isn't there.

None of these mentions were visible on-screen.

Tags dragged off-screen

Mentions positioned outside the visible frame stay invisible to everyone watching.

Watcholy scans the Story data

Every monitored Story is inspected for mentions, visible or not.

You see who was tagged

Hidden mentions are surfaced in your archive alongside the saved Story.
