RAMROD 117,131 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Instagram's head of product, Vishal Shah, told BuzzFeed News today that Following was a feature many users didn't know existed, and that Instagram decided to do away with it in the name of maintaining simplicity on the app. Now, instead of seeing both the Following and You tabs when you click on the heart icon on the bottom panel of your Instagram, you'll just see your own activity. But IG stalkers, have no fear: Though the Following tab did serve as a formidable stalking tool — as evidenced by its role in revealing many celebrities relationships, such as that of Tyler Cameron and Gigi Hadid — you can still do the old fashioned Instagram stalk by diving deep into someone's feed. Just make sure you don't like anything from too far back. (I warn you from personal experience.)

Reginald 13,841 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thank GOD. This issue was one of the primary reasons why I don't use Instagram often. It felt like a massive privacy violation for all of my followers to see what I'm up to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
