    Hi! Yes, you can absolutely see your liked Reels—it’s just not super obvious at first. Instagram puts all your liked content (photos, videos, and Reels) in one place. Here’s how you can find them: Open Instagram → go to your profile → tap the three-line menu in the top right → select Your activity → then go to Interactions → choose Likes. You’ll see a full list of every post and Reel you’ve liked. From there, you can filter by date, which makes it easier to find recent Reels you hearted. Unfortunately, there isn’t a dedicated “Liked Reels” folder, but since Reels are included with liked posts, scrolling through that section should show them. I use this trick all the time to rewatch funny clips or save cooking tips I forgot to bookmark. Once you know where to look, it’s actually super convenient.

    Hi! Great question, because Snapchat icons can get confusing fast. The “eyes” icon you’re seeing is part of Snapchat+. It doesn’t just mean someone looked at your story—it specifically tracks rewatches. If you see a number with the eyes, that number tells you how many times your friends went back and viewed your story again. It’s not showing you who rewatches (Snapchat keeps that private), only the total rewatch count. I remember when I first noticed it, I thought it meant people were screen-recording my story or something creepy, but thankfully, that’s not the case. I tested it by asking a friend to rewatch my snap multiple times, and sure enough, the eyes count went up. So, if you’re seeing it, that means your content is catching attention enough for folks to check it out more than once. It’s a Snapchat+ perk, so not everyone sees it.

    They’re not officially safe. YouTube downloaders vary—some legit, others dangerous. If you try one, only download from trusted sources, but the secure choice is still YouTube Premium.

    Hi, just head to your profile, press “+” under Highlights, pick your stories, and name it. Add a custom cover if you want it polished.

    Private profiles can’t be unlocked by third-party tools. Instagram designed it intentionally. The real way is follow request → acceptance. Some users also share content publicly on linked platforms, so check those. But inside Instagram, there’s no safe workaround. Respect their settings—it’s how privacy should work.

    Hey, I’ve been in the same boat before, and it can be really confusing because Snapchat keeps it subtle. The app won’t tell you directly if someone blocked you, so you have to piece it together. First, check if their username or full name shows up when you search for them. If you can’t find them but your friend can still see their profile from their own account, then yeah, that’s usually a sign you’ve been blocked.

    Second, if your past chats with them disappeared completely—not just inactive but totally gone—that’s another big indicator. Blocking removes the thread on your end. If they just deleted you as a friend, the conversation usually still shows.

    Lastly, try looking from another account (maybe a friend’s). If the person still pops up there but not on yours, that’s pretty much confirmation. I went through this with someone I used to talk to daily, and when all three signs matched, I knew I was blocked. It stung, but at least I understood what was going on instead of wondering endlessly.
