If you suspect your partner’s cheating on Instagram, you might think you need to download a spy app to get to the bottom of what’s going on. But honestly, you don’t. Choosing such a drastic method can be harmful and leave you dripping with guilt, plus it’s such a violation of privacy. Instead of resorting to such measures, there are cheating behaviors to look for that reveal your partner’s up to no good on social media. Here are 10 ways to catch them out.
1. They’re Uploading More Selfies.
Is your partner uploading more selfies on Instagram than usual? Do they seem to be fit and sexy in all these pics, even though previously they hardly ever posted pics of themselves? Hmmm, it could be that they’re doing this to try to impress someone on their IG account. It’s like they’re hoping the person will see how hot they look.
2. They’re Online Late Into The Night.
If you can see your partner’s always on IG late into the night (you might not snoop but sometimes you glance at their screen) and they’d rather do that than chat to you about their day, it’s a huge red flag you’re dealing with someone who’s doing something suspicious. Also, why are they are always online on IG but no other platforms? It does make you think that they’re talking to someone specific who’s only on Instagram, or they’ve recently connected to them on there.
3. They Ignore Your Messages Or Tags.
If you’ve recently been feeling suspicious about your partner’s Instagram behavior, you might want to put it to the test a bit more. What happens when you send them a private message or tag them in a comment? Do they reply to you or totally ignore you? If the latter is happening all the time, even though they’re online, it’s concerning. Soon, they’ll probably be avoiding you in real life.
4. They’re Adding New People.
Your partner might not be cheating with anyone on IG, yet. But, maybe they’re showing signs of wanting to reach out to other potential partners, or they’re keen to flirt a lot on the platform as though they’re single and ready to mingle. A suspicious sign is if they’ve started adding new people to their account, and they all happen to be attractive and fit their dating type. Hmmm. (By the way, if you’re fed up with ending up with partners who think it’s okay to betray you this way, you need to check out our sister site, Sweetn.

5. They Don’t Want To Add You.
Another sign that your partner is up to no good on IG is if they refuse to add you to their account. If you’re in a committed, exclusive relationship, this shouldn’t be a big deal so why would they refuse? Hmmm. Maybe they don’t want you to see what they’re up to, or they’re trying to keep your relationship secret or separate from their online antics. It’s dodgy, no matter how they try to spin it when confronted.
6. They Refuse To Post Couple Selfies.
When your relationship becomes more serious, you might want to share it with the world, such as by posting couple selfies on social media. It might not be a big deal because your partner’s always on Instagram anyway, right? And yet, when you suggest this to your partner, they don’t want to share your relationship with their followers. They refuse to post any cute couple pics of the two of you!
7. They Post Pics You Haven’t Seen Before.
Not only does your partner post selfies that make them look sexy because they want to get others’ attention, but you can see that the images they’re posting are ones you don’t know about. They might be taking these pics in different places when you’re not around. Who knows who else is there with them?
8. They’re Always Commenting On One Specific Person’s Account.
A huge sign that your partner’s having an online relationship with someone on their Instagram is if they’re always “liking” or commenting on a specific person’s posts. It’s like they don’t want to miss a thing that this person shares with their followers. The comments your partner leaves are usually positive and maybe even flirty. This is a total violation of their commitment to you!
9. They’re “Liking” Older Posts.
Linked to the previous point, your partner might “like” a specific person’s older posts on social media. They might go all the way back to some of the pics the person posted years ago and “like” them. Talk about a deep dive! It’s clear they want the person to see them and interact with them. It’s a lot of effort to make for “just a friend,” no?
10. They Make Plans Without Inviting You.
You might see that your partner is always chatting to people on IG about certain events, or posting stories about some cool places they’ve been to. And where are you in all this? Clearly, they’re making those fun plans with other people and totally ignoring you. How many more signs do you need before you realize they’re cutting you out of their life?
