Instagram: How to hide followers – what you need to know

To hide your followers on Instagram, you need to know the requirements for doing so.

Hiding followers on Instagram: All you need to know

For some people, they just 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 left is to set your profile to private.

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

• Then tap the three bars in the top right corner and select “Settings and Privacy”.

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

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

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

• If your account is private, you can decide who can follow you.
