These posts got their likes from huge audiences. On a smaller account, a few hundred likes on a new post can help it get seen, and auto-likes do that for every post you publish.

How this list works

The all-time list starts from the posts publicly reported as the most liked on Instagram. We open each one and read its like count from the post itself; a post that no longer exists is dropped. We re-read those counts every day. On top of that, every day we read the latest posts of the biggest accounts on Instagram Top Charts, so a new post that passes the leaders shows up here on its own.

FAQ

How many likes does the most liked Instagram post have?

74,445,427 likes as of 5 Oct 2026. We re-read the count every day, so the number on this page moves with it.
