The app can no longer be downloaded

A while ago we told you that Instagram had decided to delete, from the Activity tab, the activity of the users we followed. The deletion of it came quickly once announced and right now it is not possible to see said activity.

That tab allowed us to see all the interactions of the people we were following: who they had followed, what photo or video they had Like, what they had commented on in any photo or video, etc. This option disappearing from the app was due to some pretty incredible stories that Instagram claimed to be true.

This app allowed us to fully monitor users on Instagram

Y, many applauded the removal, others didn't like it so much. That is why it was a matter of time before alternatives to the option that had been there from the beginning of Instagram's existence emerged and an app for it is the one that has been removed from the App Store.

Example of what the app allowed to see

The application in question was called Like Patrol and its function was to inform users of the movements of the people they were following. By making a subscription payment and logging into the app, users could see the likes, comments, etc. made by the people they were following.

That is, everything that the Instagram activity tab used to do but taken to the extreme. In the app there were lists of the users who had liked the most, in which accounts they commented the most or who liked a certain person the most, among other functions.A full-fledged stalkeo.

Comment list

The removal of this app comes after Instagram unsuccessfully tried to get the app to cease its services for making use of information without the consent of the users. But it seems that, after Apple's inspection, it also violates the rules of use of the App Store and, therefore, it is doomed to its disappearance.
