Why Can’t I See Who I’m Following On Instagram:
If the Instagram following list not loading, there are some reasons that you need to know:
1. Unfollowed too Many Users
The users of Instagram often face the issue where they can’t see their profile’s Following list. This happens mainly when they have unfollowed too many users at a time.
When Instagram sees that you’re unfollowing too many people at a time, it finds the activity suspicious and immediately disables your account’s Following list. It suspects that your account has been taken over by a bot.
2. Outdated version of Instagram
Often this kind of issue occurs when you’re using an outdated version of the Instagram application. Users often ignore updating the Instagram app.
The outdated and the older versions are much more prone to glitches and crashes. Therefore, check if there’s an update available for the Instagram application or not.

Instagram often experiences bugs in the app which get fixed over time. Often the issue is not from your end but on Instagram’s end.
Therefore, in that case, you don’t need to perform any method but don’t open the application for some hours. The glitch will be fixed within some hours after which you’ll be able to see your account’s Following list.

How to Unfollow Users without getting the Following list disabled:
Often on Instagram, users may be required to unfollow some accounts. But you just can’t mass unfollow accounts from your Instagram profile. It arouses suspicion that your account may have been taken over by hackers or bots and it results in getting the Following list disabled.
However, you can still unfollow accounts without getting the Following list disabled. You should never use a third-party app to unfollow users as that can cause a violation of terms and conditions.
Moreover, you have to go slowly while you’re unfollowing accounts on Instagram. You should unfollow a maximum of 5 to 10 accounts in a minute. Any more than that would arouse suspicion. You need to pause between unfollowing two accounts.
