How to Hide Followers and Followings in Instagram

By Neha T Leave a Comment

Do you want to hide followers and followings in Instagram? Well with the growing social networking platforms, security and privacy are trending issues that users seek. Whenever some Instagram user visits your profile, he or she can view the number of followers and followings and further if he or she clicks the number it will display the corresponding list of followers and followings, unless you have performed any privacy settings.

If you don’t want to let someone know who you are following and who follows you then you must definitely control the visibility of your profile to others. In this section, we will discuss two methods using which you can hide followers and followings on Instagram. So, let us start with the steps to hide the followers and following in Instagram.

Steps to Hide Followers and Following in Instagram:

Method 1 of 2: Controlling Visibility by Privatizing the Account

Step 1: Tap the Instagram app on your phone to open the app. Once the app is opened, tap on the avatar icon at the right bottom of your screen to navigate to your profile page.
