Social media stalking might be creepy and a waste of time, but most of us are guilty of it at one point or another. That’s why, after our latest “How to hide your accidental ‘like’ on Instagram” post, we were intrigued by this even more efficient tip coming from one of our readers.
When you’re mid-lurking on someone’s account and you’re scared of accidentally liking a photo, turn on Aeroplane Mode. (You’ll have to have scrolled through much of their account first; in aeroplane mode, new posts won’t load. So scroll carefully.)
