How to See Someone Else’s Liked Posts on Instagram?

When someone else like posts on Instagram, you will not receive the alert. However, there is still a way!

In the past, it was possible to see the posts that someone else had liked by going to their profile, tapping the ‘Following’ tab, and then selecting ‘Posts you’ve liked.’ However, Instagram removed this feature due to privacy reasons.

Now, if you want to see what someone else has liked, you have to manually go to the related post and see if that person has liked it or not! This means, exploring individual posts and checking their likes– is the only way to determine if someone (your friends) has liked it or not.

What are Other Ways to Save Instagram Posts Without Liking Them?

While liking Instagram posts is a common way to save them for future reference, there are other methods also that you can use to save posts without actually liking them. So, here are discussed those methods—

Save to Collection

Instagram allows users to create collections, which are essentially folders where you can save posts you want to revisit later. So, in order to create a collection and save posts there, you need to tap the ‘Bookmark icon’ below the post you want to save.

Tip: You can either choose an existing collection or create a new one. You can also allow friends to join this collection

Share to Instagram DM

You can also save a post by sharing it with you via Instagram Direct Message. To do this, you need to tap on the ‘Paper airplane icon’ at the bottom of the post, then select ‘Share to’ and then, select your ‘Account.’ Doing so will send the post to your DMs, where you can easily find it later.

Use Third-Party Tools and Apps

There are many third-party tools and apps available, including;

• Repost for Instagram

  

With Repost for Instagram, you can save and share Instagram posts without hitting the ‘Like’ button on the original post.

This app allows you to repost content from others by copying the URL of the post, editing it (if needed), and sharing it on your profile while giving proper credit to the original creator.

In short, this is a handy tool that helps you curate and share content directly on Instagram without the need to like or save posts.

• InstaSave

  

InstaSave and similar applications serve as convenient tools for users who want to save Instagram posts, stories, and videos directly to their device’s gallery without the need to ‘like’ them or interact directly with the content on the Instagram platform.

These applications use the Instagram API with specific permissions granted to them to access media content without the need for direct interaction with users. In this way, they allow you to download and store media content from Instagram without the need to like them first.

So, using InstaSave users can gather and sort their preferred content from the platform and keep that collection saved privately on their devices, separate from the platform itself.

• Later 

  

Last but not least, Later is primarily a social media scheduling tool that allows users to plan and schedule posts in advance on various platforms, including Instagram.

While it may not be directly related to saving posts without liking them, it does offer a feature called “Saved Captions”, which can indirectly help you save Instagram posts without liking them.

So, to be specific, this tool lets you plan and schedule your Instagram posts without needing to like the content that inspires you. You can save captions and notes about posts without engaging with them directly on Instagram.

Note: While, these third-party apps usually require you to ‘Create an account’ and ‘link it’ to your Instagram account, you won’t regret it because they offer additional features like organizing your saved posts or scheduling reposts.

However, no matter which method you choose, it’s always a good idea to respect the original poster’s content and intentions when saving their post.

And, most importantly, always give credit where credit is due and ask permission before reposting or sharing content that isn’t your own.
