🔎 How to Check If Someone Liked a Post

2. Tap on the likes count below the post.
3. Search for their username in the list of people who liked the post.

✅ If their name appears, they’ve liked it.

You can check the posts of people they follow. Here’s how:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What Instagram activity can I see?

You can only see public likes and comments on individual posts or Reels — there’s no central activity feed anymore.

Can I use an app to track someone’s likes?

🚫 No. Instagram does not allow third-party apps to show other people’s activity. Apps that claim otherwise are often scams and may compromise your data.

Can people see what I like?

People can’t see a complete list of your likes. But if you like a post, your username will be visible in the list of people who liked that post.
