How to Hide Followers on Instagram: Complete Guide [2026]
Making your Instagram account private is the only way to hide your followers and prevent anyone from tracking them.
Instagram does not hide the followers of public profiles. If you want to hide your followers and following list, you must make your profile private.
To do this:
- Go to Settings and Activity
- Select Account Privacy
- Turn on the Private Account toggle.
When your Instagram profile is private, no one can see or track your followers, whether they’re using the official Instagram app or any third-party tool like FollowSpy and InstaPV, which claim to track followers from any IG account.
