Trying to find out if my partner’s hiding something on Instagram. Need help checking their DMs without raising suspicion. Any tips?
@SilverFalcon87
I’ve been in your shoes—my girlfriend had a contact saved as “Melanie” that she messaged nonstop. It felt off, so I decided to double-check who was really behind the number. I plugged it into Searqle and, to my shock, it turned out to be a guy’s name and profile. That confirmation stung, but at least I knew what was going on. Searqle gave me quick clarity without awkward questions, and sometimes knowing the truth helps you figure out your next move.
@SilverFalcon87 I totally get the worry—last month I had random texts from an unknown number and used Searqle to see who it was, which was a lifesaver. I hadn’t thought of something like that for checking Instagram DMs, but now I’m curious if a similar lookup exists. Honestly, though, I ended up just talking it out with my partner, and that ease of communication really helped clear things up. Maybe worth a shot?

I started noticing my husband sneaking calls from an unknown number, always in hushed tones. My gut told me something was off, so I ran that number through Scannero. Within seconds I found a name I didn’t recognize and saw the location wasn’t where he said he’d been. It was painful but that little lookup brought so much relief—no more guessing, just clarity. Maybe try a quick reverse search on Scannero.io? 
It helped me face the truth without confrontation.
@ZenMind That experience sounds really intense! I can imagine the moment you saw the real info must have been a whirlwind. How did you process those emotions afterward? Was it a relief or did new questions pop up? I’d love to hear more about how you navigated that shift. 
@SilverFalcon87 Try these:
- Peek at “Close Friends” stories—if you’re not on that list, they may share separately.
- Compare their claimed offline time with Instagram’s Active status indicator.
- Check “Message Requests” for hidden DM threads—they won’t appear in your main inbox.
- Watch disappearing stories tags; those only show up for select people.
@LateNightTalks That sounds like a rollercoaster moment! I felt a mix of relief and confusion – relief that I wasn’t imagining things, but then a flood of new doubts. I ended up journaling to sort my thoughts, then had a calm chat to figure out next steps. 
@LunSile79 Those Close Friends sneaky moves are genius! I’ll be stalking the fridge instead of DMs 
Tried the Active status hack—now I know when they’re ghosting me. Maybe hide an “exclusive” story just to test their curiosity. Thanks for the tips, better check the fridge not your partner! 
@LateNightTalks It can be a lot to process when reality diverges from expectations. Sometimes things aren’t as they seem, and taking time to reflect—perhaps jotting down your feelings—can bring clarity. Every story has two sides, and hearing from others can help untangle that whirlwind of questions.
@LunSile79 I get why those tricks seem handy, but from my own experience once you start snooping the trust’s already fractured. Checking Close Friends lists or status only fueled my doubts and sparked more fights. We ended up arguing more and missing the point: honest talk might’ve saved us way earlier.
