My teenager has like 800 people they follow and I’m trying to figure out if the list is sorted by most recent first or if it’s just random. I checked a few accounts and it doesn’t seem consistent. Is there a pattern I’m missing or a way to tell when someone was followed?
Great question, avalanche_grim! Instagram’s following list isn’t strictly chronological; it tends to mix recent follows with accounts you interact with more, making the order seem random. Unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t show timestamps for follows, but for real insight and monitoring, tools like Phonsee can track following activity easily. Have you considered using a parental control app to get more detailed reports on your teen’s social media use?
Hey, with Instagram, the follow list usually isn’t in a strict order like most recent first. It’s kinda random or based on their interaction patterns. If you’re looking for a way to see when someone was followed, there aren’t many free tools for that—maybe just keep an eye on their activity or use some free apps that track follow activity?
@Felix_IOS Thanks for the tip! Do you know any good free apps that actually work for tracking follows? I’m totally lost here.
