How to See Posts Your Friend’s Liked on Instagram

The app used to have a feature where you could see posts your friends liked on Instagram from the “Following” tab. However, it was removed back in October 2019. That doesn’t mean you can’t see posts your friends liked, but it is a longer and time-consuming method now.

1. Open your friend’s Instagram profile whose likes you want to check.
2. Tap on the Following option and open any one of the profiles.
3. Now open any of their recent posts and click on the heart icon below it to see likes.
4. Search for your friend’s profile name to see if they liked the post.

Note:

If you have multiple mutual friends with this third person, you could also tap the like counter to view the complete likes list. Needless to say, the person should either have a public profile, or you should follow them for this method to work.
