Instagram is a highly popular platform that allows users to share photos and videos, interact with other users, and follow their favorite accounts. But sometimes, you may wonder who the last person someone followed on Instagram was. This article will explain how to gather this information.

Understanding Instagram

Instagram is a photo and video sharing platform that lets users follow others, share their own content, and interact with content shared by others. Each user has a follower list (people who follow them) and a following list (people they follow). However, due to an Instagram update in 2021, these lists are no longer displayed chronologically, meaning it is not possible to directly see who the last person a user followed is.

Accessing Someone’s Followings

Unfortunately, Instagram does not offer a direct feature to see who the last person a user followed is. The following list of a user is displayed randomly and cannot be sorted by date. However, there are indirect ways to obtain this information, particularly through the use of third-party tools.

Using Third-Party Tools to Track Recent Followings on Instagram

There are third-party tools that can help you see who the last person a user followed on Instagram. However, these tools may cost money and their use may infringe on privacy. Here are two methods that can be used to obtain this information:

Method 1: Using Snoopreport

Snoopreport is an online tool that allows users to track a target Instagram profile’s activities and receive a weekly report. However, Snoopreport is a paid service. Here’s how to use it:

  1. Open your browser and go to Snoopreport.
  2. Click on “Sign-Up” if it’s your first visit, or “Log In” if you already have an account.
  3. Enter your email and create a password.
  4. Confirm your password, then click on the “Terms and Conditions” box to agree to the tool’s usage terms.
  5. Click on the “Sign-Up” button.
  6. A new dashboard will open. Click on “Add Account” at the top, then “Buy Subscription” on the next screen.
  7. Choose the payment plan that suits you, enter your payment information, and click on “Subscribe”.
  8. Once subscribed, click again on “Add Account”.
  9. A pop-up window will appear, asking for the target account. Enter the Instagram username of the person you want to know about.
  10. Verify the username, then click the “Check” button.
  11. Wait for Snoopreport to create a result report.
  12. Once created, an “Activity Report” will appear on your dashboard. Click on it to see a list of all the followers. Click on “New Follows” to see all the people recently followed by the target person.

Method 2: Using IGExport

IGExport is a Chrome extension that allows you to monitor a target user’s recent followings on Instagram. Unlike Snoopreport, IGExport is free but does not provide a weekly report. Here’s how to use it:

  1. Go to the Google Web Store to install IGExport.
  2. Click on “Add to Chrome”.
  3. In the pop-up window that appears next, click on “Add Extension”.
  4. Log in to your Instagram account in a new tab.
  5. Go to your followers’ list and look for the target person.
  6. Open their profile and copy their username.
  7. Click on the IGExport extension in your Chrome toolbar.
  8. Paste the username into the box and click on “Following”.
  9. Click on “Export Following” to generate a report.
  10. A new list will be generated once the page reloads. The people at the top of the list are recent followers.
  11. To save the report, click on the “Download Following” button at the top.

Respecting Privacy

It is essential to note that while these methods may help you see the last person a user followed on Instagram, it is crucial to respect others’ privacy. Do not use these tools to harass or spy on someone, and always ensure that you adhere to Instagram’s rules and privacy laws.

Conclusion

Regrettably, there is no official way provided by Instagram to see the last person a user followed. However, third-party tools like Snoopreport and IGExport can help you obtain this information, even if they may pose privacy risks and may cost money. Ultimately, it is always vital to respect others’ privacy when using these tools.
