Official LastFollow guide

How LastFollow works

LastFollow is the official iPhone app for viewing recent Instagram followers and followings in chronological order. It is built for people who want a clearer view of profile activity than Instagram's default sorting usually provides. This page explains the full workflow, what the app can and cannot show, and how it handles privacy.

Why a separate app is needed at all

Instagram stopped showing follower and following lists in strict date order years ago. The lists you see inside the Instagram app are ranked by relevance signals such as mutual connections, interaction frequency and engagement — not by when the follow happened. In practice this means an account someone followed yesterday can appear in the middle of a list of hundreds, making a manual "who did they follow recently?" check nearly impossible. We cover the details in why Instagram does not show recent followers correctly.

1. Download the app and enter a username

Install LastFollow: Profile Tracker from the App Store and enter the public Instagram username you want to review. You do not log in with your Instagram account and the app never asks for your Instagram password — it works with publicly visible profile information only.

2. Review recent followers and followings chronologically

LastFollow rebuilds the follower and following lists into a newest-first timeline. Instead of scrolling and guessing, you get a dedicated view for recent Instagram followers and recent Instagram followings, so the most recent connections are always at the top.

3. Compare profile changes over time

The real value is in repeated checks. Each time you review a profile, LastFollow can compare the current state against earlier checks and highlight what changed: new followers, new followings, and accounts that disappeared from the lists. This is how unfollower tracking works — there is no magic "unfollow notification" from Instagram, only careful comparison of snapshots over time.

What LastFollow can and cannot do

Privacy and safety

LastFollow is read-only by design. The person whose profile you review is not notified, and because you never share your Instagram credentials, your own account is never at risk of being flagged for third-party logins. See the privacy policy for details on what data the app itself stores.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to share my Instagram password?

No. You only enter the public username you want to review. LastFollow never asks for Instagram credentials.

Does it work with private accounts?

LastFollow is designed for public Instagram profiles. Private accounts only expose what Instagram makes publicly visible.

Is there an Android version?

LastFollow is currently iPhone-only and distributed through the Apple App Store. Using the official App Store listing is the only supported way to install it.

How is the following order different from Instagram's own list?

Instagram ranks lists by relevance; LastFollow sorts them by recency. Read more in how Instagram following order works.
