(2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a normal Instagram account that\u2019s set to public status, anyone can go to your profile and see who follows you by tapping on your follower count.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>But let\u2019s say you don\u2019t want this to be possible<\/strong>. Maybe you only want your followers to be able to see who is a fan of your account, or maybe there are only specific people you want to hide that information from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This wouldn\u2019t be surprising, especially if you\u2019re concerned about your privacy or the privacy of your followers following a hacking, a security breach, or a troll attack on your posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want other users not to be able to see the accounts that follow you, <strong>there are a few methods<\/strong> you can use to make this happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How To Hide Instagram Followers <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">From Non-Followers?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<style>.codegena{position:relative;width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:56.27198%;}.codegena iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;}\/*Youtube Embed Code : Created with Codegena.com *\/<\/style>\n<div class=\"codegena\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YAMtB3AOl8c?&amp;theme=dark&amp;autohide=2&amp;modestbranding=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nThe <strong>first method<\/strong> we want to talk about is hiding your followers on Instagram from all accounts that don\u2019t follow you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to making this work is <strong>setting your account to private status<\/strong>. This means that only your followers will be able to see who\u2019s following you, but they\u2019re also the only ones who will be able to see your posts, Stories, and Reels. Non-followers don\u2019t have these privileges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, if someone wants to follow you, you have to approve them first. If you don\u2019t know them or like them, you always have the option to deny their follow request.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One other added bonus of going private is that people who don\u2019t follow you won\u2019t be able to see who you follow. They can see the number of accounts you follow, but not the accounts themselves. It\u2019s a win-win for privacy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is, unfortunately, a huge downside to going private that applies to influencers, brands, entrepreneurs\u2026 basically, anyone who wants to promote themselves on the app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because your posts are only visible to your followers, the algorithm won\u2019t promote them on the Explore page, the Reels feed, or in search results. That means you won\u2019t be able to grow your account, except by accepting people who request to follow you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if this drawback doesn\u2019t bother you, <strong>then you should have no problem following these steps to set your Instagram account status to private<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\"

So, it makes sense that you would want to keep it Public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If going private isn\u2019t an option, then there\u2019s only one thing you can do to hide your Instagram followers. <strong>And that is to block every account that you don\u2019t want to view your followers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you block an account, you not only prevent them from seeing your follower and following lists. You also effectively ban them from viewing any of your posts, Reels, or Stories. They also won\u2019t be able to send you direct messages or tag you in their own posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This step can be a tedious one, especially if there are a lot of accounts that you want to block. It\u2019s also a drastic step to take, and it could potentially backfire on you if you use it too liberally. Accounts that block other accounts as a matter of course often draw negative attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But sometimes, blocking is absolutely necessary. It can help you ignore bullies or trolls who are picking on you and your followers. Just keep in mind that this isn\u2019t a perfect solution. Even if you block a user, that action doesn\u2019t prevent them from creating a new account to harass you with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s\ud83d\udc47how to block someone on Instagram to prevent them from viewing your follower list.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;-webkit-border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-moz-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-webkit-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\">\n<p><b>Step #1: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the <strong>Instagram<\/strong> app.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;-webkit-border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-moz-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-webkit-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\">\n<p><b>Step #2: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the account you want to <strong>block<\/strong>, either by searching for their username or finding them in your follower list or comment section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20577\" src=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Search-Username-600x382.jpg\" alt=\"Search Username\" width=\"600\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Search-Username-600x382.jpg 600w, https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Search-Username-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Search-Username.jpg 828w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;-webkit-border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-moz-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-webkit-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\">\n<p><b>Step #3: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap the <strong>three vertical dots<\/strong> in the upper right-hand corner of their profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20776\" src=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vertical-Dots-600x399.jpg\" alt=\"Vertical Dots\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vertical-Dots-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vertical-Dots-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vertical-Dots.jpg 828w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;-webkit-border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-moz-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;-webkit-box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\">\n<p><b>Step #4: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap <\/span><b>Block<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19479 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tap-Block-1-600x404.jpg\" alt=\"Tap Block\" width=\"600\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tap-Block-1-600x404.jpg 600w, https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tap-Block-1-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tap-Block-1.jpg 828w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat this process for every account whose access to your account you want to limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div id=\"rank-math-rich-snippet-wrapper\" class=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiding your followers from other accounts may be necessary for your security or your peace of mind.
