How to See Your Liked Posts on Instagram
Do you want to find and see your liked posts on Instagram? If yes, then you’re on the right page.
Well, every Instagram user likes the posts from the feed and search suggestions. Sometimes, you may want to find and see the photos and videos that you’ve liked on Instagram. IG stores your activity and it helps you to find out what you liked recently.
In this post, I’ll show you how to see posts you’ve liked on Instagram.
When it comes to the social media platform to share photos and short videos, Instagram is the most popular in this category. Because its unique features make it the best photo and video sharing platform.
Now Instagram is owned by Facebook and you may see some similarities between these two platforms. Also, some of the features are integrated. However, both platforms are different in every aspect.
Like Facebook, Instagram also stores your activity. It saves the information what you’ve liked, comments written by you, story replies, reviews, and made changes on your profile. Also, IG offers an option to see that information.
However, Instagram allows its users to see their recent activity. But it has some limitations. It shows only up to 300 most recent posts that you’ve liked.
Well, the best thing about this feature is that it comes with a sort and filter option. You can sort your activity from newest to oldest, oldest to newest, by author, and start and end date.
