In today’s time, kids are super-advanced; you will certainly never find a single teen kid who doesn’t have any online presence. The times have changed and now, more than ever, and while you cannot deny their fair share of freedom, you also need to pay attention to the security of your child on social media platforms. Being hooked on to the internet, kids and teens are most often the easiest targets of cyberbullying and several types of cybercrimes.

If your daughter is on Instagram, you can easily go through the list of people she follows, the kind of content she likes as well as views, and much more.

Wondering how to see who someone recently followed on Instagram?

Well, then you must know that there are advanced mobile applications to help you track the activities of your daughter on Instagram. Tracking her activities such as viewing what pictures she is uploading, going through the comments on her pictures, checking her follow list including the list of followers, even checking her direct messages (sent or received) on Instagram will surely give you an idea of what your daughter is doing regularly on Instagram and what kind of people she is interacting with.

What you need to understand

Parents must understand that Instagram is a platform where there are many fake accounts and people share inappropriate content such as nude pictures or violent visual content and much more. So, it is very important to know what kind of people your daughter is following. If you find anything inappropriate at all then, as a responsible parent, you must persuade your child to ‘unfollow’ such accounts or even block them if needed.

Instagram allows up to five accounts on one phone. If you wish, you can switch from one account to the other easily. So, get hold of your daughter’s email address and password of the Instagram account to get direct access to her account.

Let your daughter use Instagram, let her breathe, and interact with people freely because children, too, need space. In the meantime, you just relax because tracking applications are there to look out for you and your beloved daughter.
