Instagram rolls out new follower interaction feature

However, before you freak out that your stalking habits are about to become known to the world, rest assured that we’re not quite there yet.

The new feature is a useful tool to help you cull out the people you’ve forgotten you follow, or those pages that are clogging up your Instagram, but you won’t be able to see who’s been looking at your profile, nor will anyone be able to see how often you look at theirs. It’s just a simple tool to help you clean up your page, which is might handy, all things considered.

To access it, tap on your profile and head to the ‘following’ tab, where you’ll see the entire list of everyone you’re currently engaging with. At the top of the page are two categories, including ‘least interacted with’ and ‘most shown in feed’. From here you’ll be able to see everyone that fits into each category.

The list is based on your last 90 days of activity, meaning it’s a fairly accurate measurement of how you use your account day to day. Who you unfollow and keep on your profile from there is up to you. We will find you if you take us off your profile mind (not really, but you’ve been warned).

You may continue to freely view profiles in secrecy, for now. It’s only a matter of time before the algorithm exposes everyone’s viewing habits to the world, though, so you should probably be prepared.
