If you’re like most people, you probably mark as unread on Instagram when you’ve seen the notification that someone has liked or commented on a post. But there’s a better way to handle this situation - by marking posts as read instead. This will help you stay up-to-date on what’s happening in your account and make it easier to find and follow your favorite Instagrammers. Here’s how:

  1. Open Instagram and sign in.
  2. Click the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen (the one with the green checkmark) to get a list of posts that are currently being watched or shared.
  3. Click on one of these posts to mark it as read. This will show up in your account as a blue checkmark next to the post title.
