The word stalking has been around since the 1960s, but it wasn't until the 1990s that the term became associated with internet use. The definition of stalking is "to pursue relentlessly to intimidate or harm."

Stalking on Instagram is a popular activity for many people. They spend hours scrolling through their feed to see what their friends, family, and celebrities are up to. It's also a great way to find new content that interests you.

However, some people find it creepy, invasive, or even scary. It's important to remember that users can always block someone if they are making them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

How To Tell Who's Stalking You On Instagram

Check who views your stories

There's nothing quite as satisfying as seeing who's been viewing your Instagram stories. Whether it's a crush, a friend, or even a family member, it's always nice to know who's interested in what you're up to. And now, with the "See Who Views Your Stories" feature, you can easily check who's been stalking you on Instagram.

To use this feature, simply go to your story and swipe up. A list of users who have viewed your story will appear, along with their usernames and profile pictures. So, if you're curious about who's been keeping tabs on your Instagram account, be sure to check out the "See Who Views Your Stories" feature.

Check your follower list

If you're concerned about who's stalking you on Instagram, just go to your follower list and look at who's following you.

For a more in-depth analysis of your Instagram followers, go to your profile photo on the bottom right corner of the screen and tap on the follower number. This will bring up a list of all your current followers. If there are any users you don't recognize, open their account, and check it thoroughly. Here are a couple of things that may indicate a fake account:

  • The user is inactive
  • The user doesn't have any identifying photos or information

Third-party apps

Many third apps allow users to find out who's stalking their Instagram accounts. These apps provide the user with a list of people who have visited their profile and some of them even provide information about the frequency of visits. However, it's hard to know whether they're safe to use.

Some of these apps ask for your Instagram login information, which could be used to access private information on your account or to post unwanted content. Others might sell your information to advertisers. So, before you download one of these apps, be sure to do your research and make sure it's safe to use.

Protect your account from stalkers

If you're worried about stalkers on Instagram, there are a few steps you can take to protect your account.

First, you can make your account private. This will prevent anyone from viewing your photos or videos without your permission.

You can also use the Instagram settings to block certain users from viewing your account. To do this, go to their profile page and tap the three dots in the top right corner. From there, select "Block" from the drop-down menu.
