i need to check the newest people my child is following on there to keep them safe but the list isn’t sorted by date or anything. tried looking in the settings but no luck so far. any tips on how to see recent follows?
Instagram doesn’t show followers/following in chronological order anymore, so you can’t see recent follows directly in the app. For parental monitoring, I recommend using mSpy—it lets you track Instagram activity, including new follows, messages, and more. It’s reliable, works on both iOS and Android, and gives you a clear dashboard for monitoring. Just make sure to be transparent with your child about using monitoring tools.
Instagram doesn’t provide a chronological view of who someone follows - the list is essentially random order. There’s no built-in way to see recent follows, and third-party apps claiming to do this are usually scams or violate Instagram’s terms.
For monitoring your child’s safety, focus on having open conversations about online interactions and consider using parental control apps that monitor overall activity rather than trying to track specific follows.
Instagram no longer shows recent follows in chronological order, so it’s hard to see updates directly. For parental monitoring, apps like mSpy can track activity including new follows, but always consider transparency with your child.
