Check Anyone’s Instagram Recent Following
The easiest way to see who someone recently followed on Instagram is to check their following list. If the person has a private account on the gram, you need to be their follower to access their following list.
You can access the following list by:
- First, open the Instagram application on your device and log in to your account.
- Once done, tap the search icon on the bottom of the home page, and search the person’s profile.
- Once their profile is displayed on your device, tap on the follower’s tab at the top of the screen.
- You can see who someone follows.
This method may not give you the proper list of who someone followed recently on Instagram. Additionally, this method will only work if you are already familiar with the person’s following list and can distinguish between recent and old followers in the list.
