Hiding Your Followers on Instagram

Unfortunately, Instagram has no built-in feature allowing users to hide their followers. By default, your followers on Instagram are visible to others, and anyone can see the list of people following your account.

However, you can make your account private, meaning only approved followers can see your posts and followers.

It’s essential to remember that if you have a public account and then switch to a private account, your existing followers will still be able to see your posts and followers. Still, any new follower requests will require your approval.

Please note that Instagram’s features and settings may change over time, so it’s a good idea to check the latest Instagram updates or guidelines for any changes regarding follower visibility.
