Stalking your ex on Instagram? You may need to be more careful what you click

There's nothing worse than seeing an update from someone you don't particularly like.

It's hard to deny that most of us are glued to our phones - whether it be Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. After a relationship in particular, it can be difficult to press the block button and truly dispose of them from your life - the online side of things anyway. As every day goes by we get news of another update to Instagram which has me super paranoid about who and what is looking at my profile. Last week, Instagram launched the feature Instagram Stories. The new installment received a lot of criticism as it was heavily compared to Snapchat. While we're all guilty of creeping on one person or another photos or videos on the app, before you couldn't see who was looking at your stuff, until now. With Instagram Stories however, you can in fact see who viewed your story. To see who looked at your Story, just go onto your Story (yours will be in the top left of the home screen) and swipe up. There you will see the names of the people who have viewed your Story. HOORAY. People online seem to be taking to the Instagram stories even though many of the features are 'borrowed' from Snapchat.

I'll be honest - I Just watched your Instagram story and you're not who I thought u were
