First seen is not the same as followed at.

Some trackers save a starting list and detect later changes. Their timestamps may show when a connection was observed, not the exact moment it happened.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before your next click.

Are followers and following the same?

No. Followers are accounts that follow a profile. Following refers to the accounts that profile follows. Check the direction before choosing a tool.

Can every tracker reconstruct past follows?

No. Some tools begin with a baseline and record changes afterward. A vendor’s claim about chronological order needs its own evidence.

Does no Instagram login mean no signup?

No. A service may require its own account or a paid plan even if it does not ask you to connect Instagram.
