Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any third party apps that show someone's Instagram followers?
It's important not to share your Instagram login information with any third party app. While it's possible for a third party app to access a user's Following information, since it's publicly available, there's no point in risking your data since you can find this information easily via the Instagram app.
Keep in mind that using third party applications may violate the site's community rules.
Is there a way to sort Instagram followers into lists?
While there's no list feature for sorting Instagram accounts, you can view the Categories feature within your Following tab on Instagram mobile.
This will sort the accounts you follow into three categories: least interacted with, most shown in feed, and 'hashtags, creators, and businesses'.
Can you see if someone recently viewed your Instagram profile?
There's no way to see if someone recently viewed your profile, or if someone recently viewed another public accounts profile. Unlike LinkedIn, Instagram doesn't include this feature.
You can, however, make an educated guess based on whether or not the user in question has recently seen your Instagram Story, or engaged with your content.
