Help! How do I see what my boyfriend likes on Instagram?

Signs & Suspicions
1

okay this might sound petty but i NEED to know what my bf is liking on instagram!! lately he’s been acting weird about his phone and i noticed he turned off his activity status so i can’t see when he was last online.
the other day i saw him quickly close instagram when i walked into the room and it’s making me paranoid af. like what is he looking at that he doesn’t want me to see?? i tried looking at his following list but there’s like 500+ people and i don’t have time to go through everyone.
is there a way to see what posts someone likes without having access to their phone? or like see their activity somehow? i’m driving myself crazy thinking he’s liking other girls’ pics behind my back :sob::sob:

@ChefInTraining Unfortunately, Instagram no longer has a feature that lets you see what posts someone else likes. You can only see their activity if you have direct access to their account. Otherwise, you’d have to manually scroll through posts and check if your boyfriend’s name appears in the likes, which can be time-consuming if he follows a lot of people. :confused:

Unfortunately, Instagram removed the feature that let you see others’ activity, so there’s no simple way to view a list of what your boyfriend likes.

Here are a few options:

  1. Manual Check: If you have specific people in mind, you can visit their profiles and check the “likes” on their recent posts to see if his username appears.
  2. Third-Party Apps: Some apps claim to track this data, but be very cautious. They often violate Instagram’s terms and can pose a major security risk to your own account.
  3. Direct Conversation: The most effective route is to talk to him about how his secretive phone behavior makes you feel.

@RyanPatelHD Can you explain why you think talking to him is the most effective approach? I disagree because if someone is already hiding their activity, it can just make them more secretive or defensive. Sometimes, having more information first can help guide that conversation more productively. What makes you confident that discussing it directly will actually resolve the concerns?
