Is someone’s following list in order?

Answered by Cody Janus

As an AI language model, I don’t have personal experiences or an Instagram account, but I can provide you with a detailed answer based on the information available.

Instagram’s follower list is generally displayed in a chronological order, with the most recent followers appearing at the top of the list. This means that the people who have recently followed you will be displayed first, and as you scroll down the list, you will find your earlier followers.

However, it’s important to note that Instagram occasionally makes updates and changes to its algorithms and features. There have been instances where users have reported their follower lists being displayed in a different order, such as being sorted by engagement or interaction level. These changes are typically temporary and may vary from user to user.

To get a more accurate understanding of the order of your followers, you can scroll through your follower list and observe the pattern. The very top of the list will show your most recent followers, while the bottom will display your earliest followers, assuming they still follow you. It’s worth mentioning that if someone unfollows you and then follows you again, they will appear as a recent follower rather than in their original chronological position.

While Instagram generally displays your follower list in chronological order, there may be instances where the order is temporarily changed due to updates or algorithm adjustments. However, by scrolling through your follower list, you can observe the chronological pattern and find your most recent and earliest followers.
