See who they just followed

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.

How it works

Recent follows in three steps

1

Install it

Add it to Chrome or install the Safari app on your Mac. Open it from any tab. No Instagram password, ever.

2

Search a profile

Type a username or paste a link. You see their latest follows in real chronological order, newest first, from the first search.

3

Track the next follow

Track the profile and every new follow gets flagged. Private accounts you follow work from a snapshot of their list.

Katch the Ick: see who someone recently followed on Instagram

You noticed their following count tick up, or a name you didn't recognise flash past — and you want a straight answer: who did they just follow? Since September 2026 the Instagram app won't tell you, because the list order no longer shows recency. Katch the Ick does: search the profile and their latest follows appear in real chronological order, newest first, from the first search.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is Katch the Ick?
Katch the Ick is a free browser extension for Chrome and Safari that shows who someone recently followed on Instagram. Search any public profile and it shows their latest follows in real chronological order, newest first, from your very first search, even after Instagram's September 2026 update broke that order for most trackers. For private accounts you follow, it saves a snapshot and catches every new follow from then on.
Is Katch the Ick free?
It's free to install and try: you get a preview of any public profile's latest follows. Klupt Pro unlocks the full list, tracking and new-follow alerts. It costs $8.99/week or $29.99/year in the US, with lower prices in many countries (from $4.99/week or $14.99/year), and the same plan also unlocks klupt.io. Cancel anytime.
Do I need to give it my Instagram password?
No. Katch the Ick never asks for your password. Public profiles are loaded from Klupt's servers, so no Instagram request is made with your account. For private accounts you follow, it reads through your own logged-in browser session, the same way the Instagram website does.
Will the person know I looked at who they follow?
No. Instagram doesn't notify anyone when their following list is viewed, and Katch the Ick never follows, likes or messages anyone. There is no trace on their end.
Does it show follows from before I installed it?
Yes, for public profiles. Katch the Ick shows their latest follows in real chronological order from the first search, so you see who they followed most recently even if you never checked before. Instagram never shares the date of a follow, so you see the order, not timestamps. For private accounts you follow, it starts from a snapshot and catches every new follow after that.
Is it the same as Katch or The Ick?
No. Those are separate tools. Since Instagram's September 2026 update, most of them can only catch follows from the day you start tracking. Katch the Ick is our own extension, and it still shows a public profile's recent follows newest first from the first search. It's part of Klupt, so one Klupt Pro plan covers the extension and klupt.io.
