Users think Instagram Wrapped tool is ‘fake’ as statistics don’t add up

Concern Instagram Wrapped is ‘fake’

The Wrapped for Instagram app isn’t associated with Instagram in any way but uses your account to provide statistics about your profile over the past year.

This includes how many hours you’ve spent on Instagram, your top friends, how many people took screenshots of your posts and how many blocked you.

However, some Instagram users think something isn’t adding up. The statistics seem wrong for many, leading to speculation the whole thing is fake.

For example, some say it’s not possible for that many people to have taken screenshots of their photos as they haven’t posted.

Some are even claiming they get different numbers if they start again, leading many to be dubious about the viral tool.

Users convinced statistics aren’t real

One person wrote on Twitter: “This Instagram Wrapped thing is most definitely fake cause I haven’t posted anything in the past four years so i’m not sure how 10 people took a screenshot of a post that doesn’t exist.”

“Also I can’t imagine 11 people blocking me since I never post anything and I barely know 11 people,” they continued.

Another social media user agreed: “I tried the Instagram Wrapped thing and I‘m pretty sure it’s bulls**t.”

“This Instagram Wrapped thing must be wrong,” someone else also said.

No proof that IGWrapped is fixed

However, this is all just speculation and there’s no real proof that IGWrapped displays false information.

The website reveals the app was made by a small team of designers and engineers from Venice Beach, California.

“We built IG Wrapped because we wanted a fun way to recap our 2023 IG activity,” the site says.

“To get your Wrapped, all you have to do is log in with Instagram – your export will be ready shortly after!”

Wrapped for Instagram claims the tool is safe and built with a “privacy first approach” where none of your data touches their server.
