The feature to hide Instagram followers, or in other words, hide the Instagram follower list, was one of the features that some users wished would come to Instagram. Because there were users who said they needed to hide their Instagram followers. According to the claim of a social media expert, Instagram decided to work on the feature of hiding followers.
HIDE FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM! HE CLAIMED THAT IT HAS BEEN WORKING ON
Social media expert Ahmed Ghanem claimed in a tweet that Instagram is working on a new privacy feature that will allow users to hide their follower lists. Allegedly, users will be able to control the visibility of their follower list by enabling this feature.
However, this can make it difficult for strangers to find users on a person’s follower list.
As not everyone will want to hide their follower list, this feature will be kept optional according to what’s been transferred. Once the feature is turned on, it can be turned off at any time. Those with private accounts were already able to control who wanted to follow them. The new feature will be available for those with public profiles.
Previously, the platform offered a number of options, such as allowing users to mute or block people they didn’t want to hear from. Users were also allowed to turn off comments on their posts. Similarly, features were introduced that prevent young users from receiving messages from strangers or adults, in an attempt to provide a safe environment.
WHEN WILL INSTAGRAM OFFER FOLLOWER HIDE FEATURE?
So far, neither the authorities nor the claimant have been told when the stalker hide feature will be rolled out globally, or an official date has been shared. However, the platform is expected to continue working on new features that will provide users with more privacy.
