In this post, you’ll learn how you can easily see the most recent followers on Instagram.
For some reason, you want to know who was the latest follower of an Instagram account.
Well don’t worry, we got you covered!
Historically, Instagram has made it quite easy to check who is the latest Instagram follower, even without owning the account.
However, recently Instagram changed its sorting algorithm which makes it more complicated.
How to see the most recent followers on Instagram?
A while ago, Instagram decided to sort the list of followers by chronological order. This means that the latest followers are at the top of the list.
Which makes it very easy to track the latest followers of an Instagram account.
However, Instagram changed this sorting method on its mobile apps on both IOS and Android. Now the followers are at the top of the list aren’t necessarily the latest ones.
But, there is a workaround here that allows you to still see the latest Instagram followers of an account.
If you try from the browser version of Instagram, it’ll still be sorted by chronological order.
To check the latest Instagram followers on the browser, follow these steps:
- Login to Instagram.com from a browser (on mobile or desktop or tablet)
- Go to the right account
- Click on followers
- You’ll get the list of followers by chronological order
This technique still works today, but for how long? 🤔
How are Instagram followers sorted?
For a long time, Instagram followers were sorted by chronological order, which made it easy to track.
However now, from the mobile apps, it is not ranked anymore only by chronological order but by relevance and chronological order.
Sometimes you might get the latest followers, sometimes you might not.
On the browser version of Instagram though, it is still sorted only by chronological order so far.
Can you see everyone’s most recent followers on Instagram?
No, you can’t.
For instance, if you are not following an account and this account is private, you cannot see any followings or followers from this account.
You can only see the most recent Instagram followers of a public account or of an account you are following.
