Can I sort someone else's following list chronologically?

No, Instagram no longer lets users see who someone recently followed in order, but there are still ways to track follow activity manually or with tools.

Can private accounts' follow lists be tracked?

No. You can only analyze public accounts—private account follow activity is not visible.

What’s the best way to know if someone followed a new account?

Use a combination of manual checking, notifications, and behavior clues like new tags or likes.

Will someone know if I look at their following list?

No. Instagram does not notify users of profile or list views.

Is it possible to monitor long-term follow changes?

Yes. Keeping a log over time (manually or using screenshots) can help track follow history.

How does DolphinRadar help with follow tracking?

Does Instagram show who you followed recently?

Instagram only shows this on your own account. Other users cannot see a chronological list of your follows unless you make it obvious through interactions.

Can Instagram show the order of followers?

Only on your own profile. Even then, follower lists are no longer guaranteed to be chronological—Instagram blends relevance and relationship data into the display order.
