How to Hide Your Instagram Following List
In today’s video tutorial, we’ll guide you through a clever workaround to limit who can see your Instagram following list. While Instagram doesn’t offer a direct way to completely hide your following list, you can make your account private, which restricts access to your account details, including who you follow. Let’s dive right in!
Step 1: Open the Instagram App
Begin by launching the Instagram app on your device. Once you are in the app, tap on your profile picture at the bottom right corner of the screen to navigate to your profile page.
Step 2: Access Account Settings
On your profile page, look for the hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines) located at the top right corner. Tap this icon to open a list of options for managing your account.
Step 3: Navigate to Privacy Settings
Within the menu, scroll down to find the Privacy section, which includes controls related to your account’s visibility and the data you share. Click on this section to access your privacy settings.
Step 4: Make Your Account Private
In the Privacy settings, locate the "Account Privacy" option. This setting determines whether your profile is public or private. By default, most Instagram accounts are set to public, allowing anyone to view your posts and browse your following list.
To hide your following list, find the toggle switch labeled "Private Account." Slide the switch to the right to enable the private account feature. This action will likely prompt a confirmation message asking you to confirm your decision to make your account private.
Step 5: Confirm Your Decision
To finalize the process, tap on "Switch to Private" when the confirmation message appears.
Conclusion
And that’s it! You’ve successfully hidden your following list by making your Instagram account private. Now, only your approved followers can see who you follow.
