How to see your first-liked Instagram post

As social media has been part of our lives for over a decade, many people are trying to look back to see what the first photo they liked on Instagram was. Here’s how you can find your first-liked Instagram post.

While TikTok is now the center of viral culture online, Instagram was once perhaps the most popular social media platform out there, and many have had the same account for years, even dating back to when they were teenagers.

Now, a new trend on TikTok and Twitter is prompting people to find the first post that they ever liked on the platform, and share the results (no matter how embarrassing) with their followers.

People have found everything from memes that used to be popular and celebrities they used to love, and the trip down memory lane has certainly proven to be entertaining for many.
