Instagram it is one of the most popular apps among users on android. Many accounts can earn huge amounts of followers on the platform, whether it's yours or someone you know. In these cases, many users want to see who are the last people followed by this account on Instagram or who are the new followers on your account or someone else's.
Knowing this is relatively simple, although it has changed over time. The social network no longer gives us the same options as in the past to see the last people followed on Instagram. So this means that we also have to look for other methods to be able to access this information in our account.
We also tell you how it is possible to see this in accounts of other users in the social network. In addition to talking about whether doing this is something really positive or if it is something that we should not do better on the well-known platform. Since many users are interested in seeing which are the last accounts that someone has followed in the social network recently, for example.
Account Activity
It is possible that at some point we have noticed that our account has many new followers or the account of someone we know, or that they are suddenly following many new accounts. Instagram has long had an activity feature which allowed us to see which were the most recent accounts that this person has started to follow or which are the accounts that have recently started following this person, among others.
Thanks to this function we were allowed to see the activity of our friends on the social network. So we could see which new accounts they have started to follow or which new accounts have started to follow them. A way to find out what these people do on the social network. Unfortunately (or fortunately for many users), this feature was finally removed from the social network a couple of years ago. So that we can no longer resort to it if we want to see which are the accounts that our friend or partner has started to follow suddenly or those that follow us suddenly.
Now we have new ways to be able to see the last people followed on Instagram for Android devices. They do not work in the same way as the activity feature that was present in the social network, but it will also allow us to have access to this type of data at all times. So it fits well with what many were looking for in this regard.
Order of people followed on Instagram
For some time, Instagram has had a function that allows you to order the people that we follow. Thanks to this possibility in the popular social network it is possible for us to see who are the last people followed from our Instagram account. It can be helpful in this way to see which accounts we have started to follow recently, if we are looking for a particular account, but we do not remember the exact name, but we know that we have recently started to follow it on the social network, for instance.
This function gives us two options regarding the order. When we access the list of accounts that we follow, they are shown to us in a predetermined order, but we cannot see which are the most recent or the oldest. Luckily, the social network allows us to change that order at all times and thus be able to see the accounts ordered according to those that we have followed for a longer time or to be able to see the recently followed accounts first. The steps to follow to be able to see this on Instagram are the following:
- Open Instagram on your Android phone.
- Tap on your profile picture at the bottom of the screen.
- Click on the number of accounts you follow.
- Look at the two arrows icon on the right side of the screen.
- Click on that icon.
- In the menu that appears to order these accounts, choose the option to sort most recent.
- Wait for the order in which the accounts you follow are displayed to change.
Having done this, you can see which will be displayed first the accounts you've most recently started to follow on the social network. So you can see those last people followed on Instagram on Android. If you were looking for a specific account, because you want to see it, but you could not remember the name, this method can help you to locate it, if it is an account that you know you have recently started to follow on the social network.
If you change the order, you will then be able to see the accounts that you have followed the longest on Instagram. These are the accounts with the oldest tracking, the ones you started to follow when you started using the app, as indicated in this function when we made use of it.
See the last people followed on Instagram in other accounts
It may be the case that our partner or someone we know has started to follow many new accounts on Instagram all of a sudden. We are interested in knowing who these accounts are that you have suddenly started following on the social network. Unfortunately, we cannot use the same system that we just did on our account. We cannot see the last people followed on Instagram in this way, as this is a function that only applies to our profile in the application.
Many users want to be able to see which accounts this person has recently started following. Either out of curiosity or if they do not trust these accounts that someone has started to follow on the social network. There is a way to see which accounts you have started to follow most recently in your case, also, we do not have to do anything special in this case. This is what we have to do:
- Open Instagram on your Android phone.
- Tap on your profile picture.
- Go to the accounts you follow.
- Find the name of this person in question.
- Enter your profile on Instagram.
- Go to your list of followed accounts.
By default, when we see the accounts that another person follows on the social network, Instagram shows it in chronological order, with the most recent accounts first. That is, the accounts that come out first are those accounts that this person has started to follow more recently. So we will not have to do anything in this regard, simply by looking at the accounts that follow we can see the most recent ones directly. If we were looking for a specific account, we can find it this way.
This is something that we will be able to do with any account where it is possible to access the accounts that follow. That is, we will be able to do it with friends or accounts that we follow and they follow us, or with accounts that are public. You will not be able to see which accounts are followed by a profile that is private on Instagram and to which we do not have access. This is not something that the social network provides access to at some point.
Should we check who someone else is following on Instagram?
Wanting to see who are the last people followed by someone on Instagram is somewhat controversial. Many wonder if it is something necessary or advisable to do. The reality is that this is something we should do only in the event that our children use an account on the social network. The dangers of social networks are well known and in many cases parents want to make sure that their children make good use of their profile on a social network such as Instagram.
Check who they follow, to see if there is any account in that list that may be suspicious or not being appropriate is something parents could do. Since it also helps us to know more about the use that our son or daughter makes of the social network. So we can talk to them about the accounts that perhaps they should not follow, since they may not be appropriate for their age or if it is a person who does not know anything and whose intentions may be suspicious at least. Helping them make good use of the social network is something important at all times.
In this type of case we can check the list of accounts that follow, see who are those last people who have started to follow on Instagram and if necessary have a conversation with them about using Instagram on their devices. It is good for them to know that they have to be alert to certain accounts or that they should not follow or let someone they know nothing about will follow them on the social network, for example, recommending using a private profile for better security.
