Most of the time, we do love it when someone follows us on Instagram. But in some cases, you may wish you had never made someone your follower. Whether it is just a stalker or an annoying company profile that is following you, it is not comfortable for you to realize the fact that they are seeing all your posts. So, here is a post on how to actually remove such unwanted followers from your account. You can unfollow or follow a profile, but can you delete it? The answer is, yes. Let's find out how.
Steps to deleting an Instagram follower
The option of deleting a person from your follower list is still not available in Instagram. The option of unfollowing you is entirely under the control of the other person. So how will you save yourself from this situation? The only way to delete a follower on Instagram is by actually blocking them. So unwanted profiles can be blocked so that they would never be able to trouble you again. Here are the steps to ‘block' a person/profile on Instagram.
• First of all, go to your profile page on Instagram. The button for this is at the far right corner of the navigation bar.
• Then, on the right of your profile picture, find the button ‘Followers' and click on it. This would give you a list of your followers on Instagram.
• From this list, select the follower you want to get rid of.
• Then on their Instagram profile page, click on the small arrow which reveals the button ‘Block user.' Click on this button.
• As soon as this is done, Instagram would ask you to confirm your choice. Do this by clicking on “Yes, I am sure.”
• Tap OK or dismiss to complete the process.
This way, any unwanted follower can be removed from your profile. You can also check out the deleted name of the follower in the list of followers. If you have completed the blocking procedure properly, that particular name would be gone by now. However, when using Instagram app on your phone, sometimes the name may still be shown in the list. Don't worry because this would last a couple of days or so because of caching.
What happens on removing one of your followers?
The person you removed would most likely know that they have been blocked by you. They won't get any notifications, see your posts or wouldn't be able to find your name in their search results. However, they may still be capable of mentioning you in posts and stuff. Also, if you want to remove their comments on your pervious posts, you need to do it manually. These profiles continue to see your likes and comments even after blocking.
How to undo the process of deleting a follower?
If you want to undelete this follower after a while, this is also possible. Just go to their profile page, tap on the ‘arrow” and click on “unblock user.” This person would now continue to see your posts and statuses.
