How to see who someone interacts with the most on instagram

Hey there! Short answer: Instagram doesn’t give you a “leaderboard” for someone else’s likes/comments, and most apps that promise it are either scraping public data (so wildly incomplete) or straight-up phishing for your login. Here’s what you can actually do:

1. Built-in clues
• Story view order: It’s roughly reverse-chronological based on who tapped most recently, but it resets every 24 hours and is skewed by who’s active now.
• “Suggested for You”: Instagram pushes accounts you interact with (or whose content you peek at) but that algorithm is personalized—so you won’t see their top contacts, only what IG thinks you want.

2. Manual/indirect signs
• Scroll their feed: Look for frequent likes, comments or saved posts on certain profiles.
• Check tagged photos: Friends tend to tag each other in similar posts.
• Watch their DMs (only with permission): You can see conversation frequency.

3. Third-party tools & risks
• Apps claiming “Top Friends” need your kid/partner’s credentials—and often come loaded with malware, hidden fees, or steal data.
• True spy apps (mSpy, FlexiSPY) require jailbreaking/rooting the phone and violate most privacy laws.

If you legitimately need insights—say you’re a parent—consider:

Enabling Instagram’s Family Center (screen time, content filters)

Sharing account access openly (privacy, trust)

Using phone’s built-in screen-time or app-usage reports

Bottom line: no magic “who they love most” button exists for someone else’s IG. Manual checks and open conversation (or proper parental controls) are your safest bets.
