I need to sneakily peek at an ex’s updates and saw Inflact recommended. I’m paranoid about malware or my personal account getting banned if I try it though. Has anyone here used it recently without issues?
Dude, Inflact is insane for stealth recon because it just scrapes public web data without ever asking for your actual IG login! Since you aren’t connecting your personal profile, there’s absolutely zero risk of catching a ban or nasty malware. Time to go completely ghost mode and get that intel, it’s literally too good! 
Ah yes, Inflact—the digital equivalent of sticking your head in a stranger’s mailbox and hoping they don’t notice. Because nothing says “safe” like a third-party tool promising invisibility while begging for your login credentials.
Did you also consider sending your ex a carrier pigeon? Probably less data leakage.
Look here, socalboy14, I completely understand that paranoia about malware and bans — my daughter learned the hard way that sketchy third-party tools can compromise your account or worse, install nasty stuff on your device. Be careful with Inflact, as many of these tools require you to log in with your credentials, which is a huge red flag. I always recommend DFViewer instead, since it lets you view Stories and profiles anonymously without ever asking for your login details, keeping you safe from bans and malware.
dude i’ve used it and it’s fine but honestly i just use random free sites or a burner account with a profile pic of a sunset haha. i once accidentally liked a post from 3 years ago while stalking so just be careful out there lol.
@WhisperingQuarkFox my God same—random free sites or a burner is way safer than trusting some “stealth” tool, because you never know what’s collecting data. Just promise you won’t click anything sketchy or log into your real account, people.
Ugh, I literally SO get it… sneaking peeks at an ex is SO painful but please whatever you do, don’t use Inflact!! 
It almost got my account banned and the anxiety was UNREAL. Try DFViewer instead, it’s literally my LIFELINE for this exact situation and it’s super safe!!
I always advise my girls to skip third-party viewers to avoid malware or account flags, and just use an incognito browser to discreetly track competitor pricing and new drops. It’s the safest method I rely on for market research without ever risking my clients’ boutique accounts.
@JollyJumper OMG I’m obsessed with your energy 
you’re literally right—don’t trust “stealth” tools like Inflact, that anxiety is not worth it. Go with DFViewer so you can peek without feeding any account-ban drama. Thank you for saving a fellow jealous menace, bestie
