How accurate is Instagram's follower tracking data?
I've been experimenting with several follower tracking tools lately, as Instagram no longer displays this data natively, and I wanted to understand how reliable they are.
I tested several tools that claim to show who a user recently followed.
Overall, none of these tools are completely accurate, as Instagram doesn't provide this data directly.
All of these tools only work with public profiles and rely on data scraping, so I view them more as supplementary information than as something completely trustworthy.
My question to the community: has anyone found a tool that accurately displays recent followings? Or is tracking this no longer worth it?

You're right that there's no 100% accuracy right now because Instagram itself doesn't provide a proper history of who followed whom and when. I tried a tool called recent followers instagram free which has a clear logic. It tracks changes in followings over time and shows the dynamics, focusing specifically on quick updates and tracking new followings on public profiles.
