However, Instagram made a change in June 2021 and now no longer shows the ordered list of most recent followers. This means that you can no longer see who the most recent people are who have followed someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few reasons why Instagram made this change. One reason is to protect users&#8217; privacy. By not showing the most recent followers, Instagram makes it more difficult for people to track who is following them and who is not. Another reason is to improve the user experience. By showing a random list of followers, Instagram hopes to make it easier for users to find new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog post, I will discuss the different ways to see someone&#8217;s most recent followers on Instagram in 2023.
