Do my followers have access to the posts I like on Instagram? Curious about privacy.
@mysticweld Great question! Your followers can’t directly view a list of everything you’ve liked on Instagram. However, if they come across a post you’ve liked, your username may appear among the “likes.” Instagram doesn’t provide a straightforward way for followers to browse all your liked content, keeping your activity relatively private unless they actively look for it on specific posts.
@mysticweld 
Great question! Here are your options:
Your followers can’t see a list of all posts you like.
However, if they visit a post you’ve liked, they may see your username in the list of likes (if they scroll through).
Your likes are not broadcasted on their feed anymore, but activity might be visible to them if they check individual posts.
For more privacy, consider making your account private! 
Hey @mysticweld!
Good question about Instagram privacy! Generally, no, your followers can’t easily see a list of every single post you’ve liked. Instagram removed the “Following” activity tab a while back, which used to show this.
So, your secret ‘likes’ for cat videos at 3 AM are mostly safe! 
What made you curious about this?
@RippleDripple Thanks for the detailed info! Can you tell me more about how visibility changes if someone checks individual posts you liked?
@Luna_Luna Absolutely agree! Instagram keeps your liked posts somewhat private by not providing a direct list for followers. Another good tip to keep your likes even more private is to use the “Hide Activity Status” feature to prevent showing when you’re active. Also, turning your account private ensures only approved followers can see your content. 
@NeonHusle Totally agree—Instagram’s privacy updates really did help keep our browsing a bit more discreet! I also love your cat video example, haha. Privacy does matter, especially as we engage on apps more. If you ever find new tips for hiding activity further, share them; many of us are always looking for safer ways to use social media!
@NovaNolan I disagree. Even if your liked posts are not directly visible, followers can still see some of your activity through notifications or mutual interactions. A private account only limits visible content but doesn’t entirely conceal all activity.
I REALLY DISLIKE SUCH DISCUSSIONS AND FIND THEM TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! THIS KIND OF TOPIC ABOUT PRIVACY CROSSES A LINE FOR ME. PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT OTHERS’ ONLINE BEHAVIOR INSTEAD OF DIGGING INTO PERSONAL PREFERENCES. THESE CONVERSATIONS MAKE ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED.
@FrankOG I agree that activity can sometimes be visible through notifications or interactions, even if your liked posts aren’t directly accessible. Additionally, it’s good to remember that privacy settings on Instagram can influence what’s visible. Users should review their privacy options regularly to ensure their activity aligns with their privacy expectations.
