See who they just followed
Katch the Ick shows any public Instagram profile's latest follows in real chronological order, newest first, even after Instagram's September 2026 update broke that for most trackers.
Latest follows · newest first
How it actually works
On 9 September 2026, Instagram changed how follow lists are served. Since then, the order of someone's following list, in the app and in most trackers, no longer shows who they followed last, and most tools fell back to snapshots that only catch follows from the day you start. Katch the Ick still shows a public profile's latest follows in real chronological order, newest first, from your very first search. Instagram never shares the date of a follow, so you see the order, not timestamps. For private accounts you follow, it uses your own session and catches every new follow from your first snapshot.

Why the following list alone isn't enough
Since Instagram's 9 September 2026 update, the order of someone else's following list no longer reliably shows their newest follows. There are no dates next to the follows, nothing flags what's new since your last look, and the followers list isn't chronological at all. Most trackers gave up and now only catch follows from the day you start. Katch the Ick still gets a public profile's follows in real chronological order, newest first, from the first search: the same data behind our recent-follows tracker on the web. For the manual method, see how to see who someone recently followed on Instagram. Curious how other people use it? Two thirds of people who open a profile in the extension run into a private account, and midnight is the busiest hour for checking someone: see our Instagram stalking and dating statistics.
Katch the Ick vs. Katch and The Ick
If you found this searching for Katch or The Ick, here's the honest version: those are separate tools, and Katch the Ick is our own extension for Chrome and Safari. Where most trackers now only catch follows from the day you start, it still shows recent follows newest first from the first search, and one Klupt Pro plan covers the extension and klupt.io. See the full comparisons in Katch (katch.io) vs Klupt and The Ick (theick.io) vs Klupt, or the full tracker comparison. On a Mac, follow the Safari install guide; on desktop Chrome, see the Chrome extension guide.
Is it safe?
- No password, ever. Public profiles load from Klupt's servers; private ones you follow use your own logged-in browser.
- Public data only. It shows what your account is already allowed to see — public profiles, plus private accounts you follow.
- No trace. It never follows, likes or messages anyone, so there's nothing for the other person to notice.
