My boyfriend, Jake, has been spending a lot of time on Instagram, and I’m curious about what he’s up to. Is there a way to see someone’s activity on Instagram without having to ask him directly?
Hi curiousgirlfriend, I understand wanting to know what’s going on, especially when trust feels shaky. Instagram doesn’t offer a straightforward way to see someone’s activity like their likes or comments without following them or having access to their account. You can check what they publicly like or comment on, but private activity is hidden.
If you’re looking for a more thorough way to monitor activity, especially if you have mutual consent, parental control apps like Eyezy can help track social media use and app activity discreetly. This can be useful if you’re concerned about fidelity and want peace of mind.
Remember, open communication is key, but if you need tech help, tools like Eyezy are designed for monitoring with consent.
I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how frustrating it is when your partner’s online habits start raising questions. Instagram doesn’t make it easy to see someone’s activity anymore—features like the “Following” tab (which showed likes and comments) are long gone. Now, you can only see what Jake publicly posts, likes on mutual accounts (if visible), or comments on public profiles.
If you want more insight, you could create a secondary account to follow him and see how he interacts with others, but this only gets you so far. For a deeper look—like seeing his DMs, who he’s messaging, and his private activity—using a monitoring app is the most effective route. Tools like Spynger let you view Instagram messages, activity logs, and more, all from a single dashboard. It’s straightforward to set up and gives you the answers you’re looking for without confrontation.
