It's finally happened: Instagram now has a "follows you" section on people's profiles to show if they, well, follow you. At last!
The new update seems to be for Android users at the moment, but with a new iOS update imminent, everyone may have this long-awaited feature soon.
Up until now, if you went onto someone's profile, you wouldn't have a clue whether they followed you or not unless you trudged through their followed accounts or scrolled through your followers.
That isn't so bad if you just have a few followers, but if you're lucky enough to have plenty of people desperate to see your pictures of Starbucks mugs and your cat, this update definitely a good thing.
People are of course delighted by the new update, which seems to have arrived very quietly.
In another recent update, Instagram are potentially trialling out your grid showing four photos per row rather than three, as well as allowing week-long Stories rather than just for the current 24 hours.
Are you on board?
