Hiding followers on Instagram: all the info

For some people, they don’t want everyone to be able to see their followers on Instagram.

• However, the overview cannot be hidden from the people who follow you on Instagram

• The only option you have is to set your profile to private.

• You can do this by opening Instagram on your smartphone and clicking on your profile picture at the bottom right.

• Tap on the three bars in the top right-hand corner and select “Settings and privacy”.

• Under “Who can see your content”, select Account privacy and activate the switch for “Private account”. This should then light up blue.

• From then on, people who do not follow you will only see the number of followers you have, but not who they are.

• If you have contacts in your list from whom you want to hide followers, you can remove them from your list.

• If your account is private, you have control over who can follow you.
