The ‘Following’ tab was an area that existed within the Activity tab, which let users see how people they’re following were engaging with content on Instagram.
Like how the ‘Activity tab lists the recent likes and comments on your content, the ‘Following’ tab listed which posts and comments were recently liked by people you’re following.
The ‘Following’ tab would also track when someone you’re following started following another user.
Virtually all activity from people you’re following could be found in that tab – the only thing it didn’t track was was comments they left on other users’ content.
Now, the days of “stalking” your followers are over, as Instagram has completely removed the ‘Following’ tab from its app. Reports began surfacing earlier this week that this change would be coming sooner than later.
