Determining the chronological order of accounts a user has begun following on Instagram is a common query. Historically, Instagram offered a “Following” tab within the “Activity” section, which allowed users to view the most recent accounts followed by those they were already following. This feature provided insight into an account’s network growth and areas of interest.
This capability had several benefits. It enabled users to discover new accounts relevant to their interests through shared connections. Businesses could leverage this information to identify potential customers or collaborators based on observed following patterns. The feature offered a glimpse into the evolving social circle of a particular account.
