Woman reveals the trick to catching your partner cheating on social media

One TikTok creator has revealed insider knowledge on how to find out if your partner is talking to anyone else on social media.

User @marahlovesyou has given step-by-step instructions on how to see someone's activity on Instagram and Snapchat, which could help determine if they are being unfaithful.

"So for Instagram, you're going to go on the Safari version of Instagram, so don't click on the app," she instructed.

"Click on their profile, and it will show you who they've followed in chronological order. So if they've followed anybody you don't know you can click on their profile, and if it's a public profile you should see if they've liked any of their photos."

She also goes into the process for Snapchat.

"Once you've added any of these girls on Snapchat you're going to want to look for any mutual emojis," she said, providing a guide to what different emojis mean on the app.

She says to look out for "mutual BF" and "mutual besties" in particular, as this means there is a user in common between the both of you, and that there has been recent and frequent activity.

Commenters had mixed reactions, with some believing this was going too far.

"Just the fact that people have to do all of this is pretty sad," said one person.

"Find someone you trust and you don't need any of this. Tons of guys out there that would never cheat on you," commented another.

"This is very toxic, you should not be teaching someone how to not trust their significant other. All this is going to do is ruin a good relationship," stated one commenter.

However, the creator of the video insists this is an act of self-preservation.

"It's just advice on how to do it if you're suspicious, coming from someone who's been cheated on. Not toxic, just not to get played," she said.

Other commenters defended her controversial ways.

"I literally trust nobody so thank you," said one. "Doing the lord's work," said another.

"This is how I caught him. Happened to click and he was all over some girl's (Instagram)," recounted one commenter.

"I can't thank you enough, we have to protect each other," said one appreciative commenter.

But one consensus was clear: "I hope you ladies can find a man that you can trust one day and don't feel the need to do this."
