Likes on Instagram aren't just a way of giving props to someone for a post, they're also a record of what captures a 's imagination. Whether that's because a post is beautiful, funny, educational, or something else, it can be enjoyable — and, indeed, useful — for a to look back at the posts they've liked. However, Instagram doesn't make that as easy as it might and s could easily think the option to do so simply isn't available.
Likes have, of course, been a Instagram is considering hiding like counts from public view so as to put more of a focus on the content itself and to create a less pressurized environment that is less likely to cause anxiety about collecting likes, but this won't remove the ability for s to like posts if it happens.
Looking back at the posts that they have liked is possible for s, but the option to do so is a little tucked away. As Instagram explains, s need to navigate to their own profile while logged in, tap the menu button that looks like three horizontal lines, and then tap Settings. Once in the Settings menu, s should tap on the '' option and scroll down until they see 'Posts You've Liked,' tapping on which will bring up the last 300 posts they've liked.
Alternative To Viewing Instagram Likes
The ease with its possible to like posts on Instagram, the difficulty for s to view the posts they've liked, and the limit on how many of the likes they've given a can look back at show that the functionality is intended more for s to liberally show appreciation rather than to revisit posts. For the times that a wants to look back at something they have liked, though, it's handy that there is an option to do so, even if it is tucked away.
Instagram does have a separate option specifically for navigating to their profile and tapping 'Saved.' There is no limit to how many posts s can save.
