Viewing liked photos on Instagram's mobile app is a breeze. But what about when you're using Instagram on your computer? Unfortunately, the web app doesn't have the same features, including the ability to view liked photos. However, we've found some workarounds that will make it possible for you to view your liked photos on Instagram, no matter what computer operating system you're using.

Using the Layoutify Chrome Extension (for All Desktop OS)

One of the best ways to view liked photos on Instagram using a computer is by using a Chrome extension called Layoutify. This extension changes the layout of Instagram.com and adds a few additional options. Here's how you can use it:

  1. Open the Layoutify Chrome Extension page and click on the “Add to Chrome” button to download the extension to your browser.
  2. Click on “Add extension” in the pop-up to confirm the download.
  3. Now open instagram.com. This will open Instagram in a different layout with multiple panels to take better advantage of the larger desktop display.
  4. Just click on the three-dot menu icon at the top right corner.
  5. That's it! This will open a new tab and display all your liked posts on Instagram.

Using an Android Emulator (for Windows and macOS)

If you don't mind using an Android emulator on your computer, you can install the Instagram mobile app and easily view your liked photos. Here's how:

  1. Download and install an Android emulator like Nox Player. Nox Player is lightweight and faster compared to other emulators.
  2. Log in with your Google Account to install apps from Google Play.
  3. Once done, search for the Instagram app and install it.
  4. Open Instagram in Nox Player on your computer, log in, and open your Profile Page.
  5. Click on the Hamburger menu at the top right corner and select Settings.
  6. Select Account and then click on Posts You've Liked.
  7. That's it! You can now view all your liked posts on Instagram.

Using Link to Windows with Your Phone app (for Android)

If you have a Samsung phone that runs on One UI 2.0 or above and a Windows computer, you can use the Link to Windows feature to view your liked photos on Instagram. Here's how:

  1. Open Your Phone app on Windows, select the Android option, and click Continue.
  2. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
  3. Check the mark beside “Yes, I finished installing Link to Windows” and click on the Open QR Code button beside it.
  4. This will open a QR Code for you to scan from your Android phone and connect.
  5. Open the Link to Windows app on your Android phone and follow the instructions to connect it to your computer.
  6. On your Samsung phone, open Settings > Advanced features and turn on Link to Windows. Tap on Link to Windows to open settings and click on Add Computer. Scan the QR code displayed on your computer.
  7. On your computer, click on the Apps and then on Instagram. This will open the Instagram app and start screen mirroring your phone.
  8. Open the Profile Page and click on the Hamburger menu at the top right corner, then select Settings.
  9. Select Account and then click on Posts You've Liked.
  10. That's it! You can now view all your liked posts on Instagram.

  1. Enable the Play Store on your Chromebook if you haven't already done so.
  2. Open the Clock and select the Settings icon.
