Summary

Do you think someone might stalk your followers?

Or do you just not want someone to view who follows you?

When you do this, anyone who doesnt follow you cant see your follower list.

(They cant see your posts either.)

If someone new wants to follow your account, youll have to approve their follow request.

To make your account private, you only have to toggle on an option in Instagrams tweaks menu.

Turn on the “Private Account” option.

Doing so basically makes you non-existent for that user on the Instagram platform.

If youd like to proceed with this option, launch Instagram on your phone first.

Select “Settings and Privacy."

In the app, pull up the profile of the user who you want to block.

On the profile page, in the top-right corner, tap the three dots.

In the open menu, select “Block.”

Choose “Account Privacy."

Choose “Block” in the prompt.

The third way to hide someone on your follower list is to simplyremove the follower.

On the follower list, find the user you want to remove.

Enable “Private Account."

Then, next to their name, tap the “Remove” button.

In the open prompt, choose “Remove.”

Instagram has removed the chosen user from your follower list.

Choose “Block” in the menu.

The follower wont be notified that youve removed them.

And thats how you prevent people from seeing the accounts that follow you on Instagram.

Select “Block."

Select “Followers."

Select “Remove” next to a follower.

Select “Remove” in the prompt.
