How do you see what someone likes on Instagram?
The short answer
You can't see a feed of everything a person likes anymore — Instagram removed the "Following" activity tab that once showed friends' likes and comments back in October 2019. Today you can only see likes on individual public posts by opening each post's like list. There's no legitimate tool that aggregates a private timeline of someone's likes.
Until 2019, the Activity tab had a "Following" view that streamed what people you follow liked and commented on. Instagram removed it over privacy concerns, and nothing replaced it.
Now the only "likes" you can see are per-post: open a public post and view its like list. There's no way to compile one person's likes across Instagram, and any app claiming to is fabricating it.
Is the old 'Following' activity feed coming back?
No. Instagram removed it in 2019 and has shown no sign of restoring it. There's no aggregated likes feed today.
Can I see every post someone liked?
No. You can only check likes post by post on public content. No legitimate tool compiles a person's full like history.
