00:04public,
00:05unless you have a verified badge, which sometimes offers specialized visibility controls.
00:09To restrict who can see your followers, you must make your account private, remove specific followers, or block individual accounts.
00:17Step 1, switch to a personal or creative business account to private.
00:20If your account is set to public, anyone can view your follower list.

00:30Open Instagram and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
00:34Tap the three horizontal lines.
00:36Menu icon in the top right corner.

00:42Tablo on private account.
00:44Note, if you have a professional or business account, Instagram may prompt you to switch back to a personal account
00:49first before allowing a private toggle.
00:51To do this, go to settings, account type, and tools.
00:55Switch account type.
00:56Switch to personal account, then return to account privacy.
00:59Step 2, remove existing followers you don't want seeing your list.
01:03Making your account private stops new, unapproved people from seeing your lists.
01:07But existing followers will still be able to see your followers and following lists.
01:11To stop specific current followers from seeing them, you need to remove them.
01:15Go to your profile and tap on followers.
01:17Scroll or search for the person you want to remove.
01:19Tap remove next to their name.
01:22Confirm by typing remove again.

01:263. Block specific users entirely alternative.
01:29If you want to ensure a specific person has zero access to your profile, posts, stories, or follower list and
01:35cannot search for your account, you can block them directly.
01:38Go to the profile of the user you want to block.
01:40Tap the three dots in the top right corner of their profile.
01:43Tap block.
