We&#8217;ll also explain how to block a user from following you and make your hashtags and comments disappear. Once you&#8217;ve done all that, you&#8217;re ready to hide your followers. Follow these steps to do it. You&#8217;ll soon be hiding your followers in no time!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_hide_the_identities_of_your_Instagram_followers\"><\/span>You can hide the identities of your Instagram followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people wonder how to hide the identities of their Instagram followers, but unfortunately, this is not possible. You can customize your account&#8217;s privacy settings, but you cannot hide your followers. If you wish to hide your followers, you need to be a verified user, though, and Instagram doesn&#8217;t currently allow this feature. Fortunately, there are some workarounds. You can request account verification and then use the corresponding data to hide your followers. After you request account verification, you can expect to wait anywhere from 24 to 72 hours for the verification process to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to hide the identities of your Instagram followers is by editing your profile. While you should make sure your posts are tagged with an emoji, you can also change the way that people see your posts by editing your settings. In addition, you can change your privacy settings to make it more private. This way, no one will be able to see who follows you. The best way to get the best privacy settings is to regularly moderate your profile, but remember that you should avoid tagging people in your posts if you want to keep your identity private.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_block_a_user_from_following_you\"><\/span>You can block a user from following you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can block a user from following you if you don&#8217;t want to be bothered by their posts or if they follow you. By blocking someone, they&#8217;ll no longer see your posts. To block a user, open their profile, tap the three-dot icon, and then choose Block from the pop-up menu. If you later want to unblock a user, just follow the same steps. You can also unblock blocked accounts by going to Settings -&gt; Blocked Accounts.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to do this as soon as possible, as blocking a user will prevent them from seeing your posts. If the person hasn&#8217;t yet changed their username, you can still see their profile and see all the pictures they&#8217;ve posted. But you won&#8217;t be able to comment on their photos, and they won&#8217;t be notified when you do. This way, you won&#8217;t be able to follow them back.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_hide_hashtags_and_make_comments_disappear\"><\/span>You can hide hashtags and make comments disappear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide hashtags and make comments disappear from your Instagram posts without breaking the format. If you&#8217;re using an iPhone, place the hashtags after your caption or the Instagram dot. To add a comment, press and hold the text you want to comment on. This will leave your post uncluttered and free of clutter. And don&#8217;t worry if you forget to add a hashtag &#8211; you can always use a text editor to paste in your comment.<\/p>\n<p>While hashtags are required for boosting your post&#8217;s visibility, they can be overwhelming for some users. To avoid this problem, you can remove hashtags from your captions. Another way to remove hashtags is to make comments appear on your published content. The more comments you receive, the more your caption will appear in search results. Just be sure to include at least 30 hashtags in the caption or comment section.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"402\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p9Zg20gvwTA\" height=\"225\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Your Followers on Instagram In this article I&#8217;ll show you how to hide your followers on Instagram and control who can view your profile and in-stream comments.
