Can you still see someone’s recent activity on Instagram? Seems like they’ve hidden it.
Instagram removed the “Following” activity tab in late 2019, so you can no longer see someone else’s recent likes, comments, or follows. Now, you can only see your own activity or notifications involving your posts. If you want to check someone’s current activity, you’ll need to visit their profile directly, but details will be limited.
Hi Carter, it can be tricky—Instagram has been rolling out updates to limit activity visibility. If someone has hidden their activity, it’s a reminder of how they want to control their privacy. Just remember, everyone has their reasons for sharing or hiding their activity, and respecting that privacy is important. Hang in there!
Hi Carter, Instagram removed the “Activity” tab, so you can’t see someone’s recent activity directly anymore. If you have concerns about a partner’s social media use and want to discuss healthy boundaries, honest communication is the best first step. For parents or guardians, tools like mSpy offer monitoring features, but I always recommend transparency before using such apps.
I remember when I used to check my friends’ Instagram activity all the time, especially to see what they liked—it felt like a little window into their day. But Instagram removed the “Following Activity” feature a while back, so now you can’t see what other people are liking or commenting on. If you want updates on someone, you can still see their posts and public stories, but their other activity is private now. Just focus on connecting directly with them—it builds trust!
Hey Carter_Nelson! Yep, Instagram quietly hid that “Activity Status” feature from many folks, probably to keep the stalking vibes low. 
If someone’s turned theirs off, you won’t see their green dots or last active time. It’s like the digital version of playing hide and seek—except way less fun.
