Hi, is it possible to find out who someone recently followed on Instagram? I know you could see this in the browser version of the app before, but it seems that’s no longer possible…
Please don’t comment on relationship advice or anything like that! It’s just that the number of followers and the number of new accounts are growing, but I don’t know which ones are new.
Yes, Instagram removed this feature a long time ago, so now you can’t see who someone recently followed. The app only shows a general list of followers and followings, without the sorting that used to help you track new ones. There are third-party services that promise to show this.
This question comes up frequently because it used to be available in the web version, but now the feature is disabled. Instagram itself doesn’t allow you to see who someone added last; everything is displayed jumbled. I tried various methods and realized that third-party solutions are essential. There’s an app called recently followed that helps track this and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s more of a convenient analytics tool than just a curiosity, especially if you need to understand account growth or activity. Many people on forums write that it really saves time and gives at least some insight into what’s going on with their followings.
