✎ Key Takes:

» You can tell if someone follows you back on Instagram by seeing the ratio of followers to the accounts you are following, creating a more balanced and engaging profile.

How To Know If Someone Follows You Back On Instagram:

If you are using an updated version of Instagram (most of us are) then it is much easier to do the same because the Instagram app provided its users with the ‘Follow Back’ button not long ago.

You have to open up a profile and check the big blue bar. If it says ‘follows you’ or ‘Follow Back’ then you are good to go.

You’ve found your loyal followers finally!

There are certain apps that can monitor your Instagram activity for you. Especially to check who unfollowed you and stuff like that. If you are on a business profile on IG then it becomes more than essential for you to keep a tap & track of your followers.

You’d also need insights and stats to know about the demographics. Though Instagram provides you with the same a better and easier option is always welcome.

Why Does Instagram Stop You from Following People:

Instagram won’t let users follow more people if the user has followed more than a limited number of people as Instagram restricted the amount which is 7500 or if the user is trying to follow someone who keeps their account private.

In simple terms, it means that you cannot follow more people above 7500 or people who have a private account (unless they accept requests).

1. Hourly Problem

Now if you want to follow more people, then it is recommended to free up some space by unfollowing people who do not follow you back.

Please keep in mind that Instagram’s hourly rate policy states that if you follow more than 120 people in an hour then the chances are there that your account will get limited. 

2. Report Centre

Now if you have tried all these points stated above and still are not able to follow people then go to settings and uninstall the application.

  • Install the application again and perform an update.
  • Now go to your profile and in the upper right corner, you will see a gear icon.
  • Tap the icon and perform scrolling until you find an option that says “Report a problem “.

In this section write down the issue that you are facing and hopefully, the technical support team on Instagram will be able to solve your problem.  

How to Tell if Someone Follows You on Instagram:

Whenever someone follows you, you’ll get an instant notification. This happens when your account is public i.e. visible to all. However, if you have a private account then you get a ‘Follow request’.

In this manner, you can moderate and manage who can follow you and view your stuff. 

Step 1: If you have a large follower base and you want to find out a single follower then you must go to their profile.

Step 2: Open up their ‘Following’ list.

Step 3: In the list that appears you can search for your name. If he followed you then your name/username will appear on the list otherwise not.

You can open up your own followers’ list and try to locate them over there.

If you happen to be a popular fella with great connections on Instagram and also, the person you are looking for has a very difficult username then – it gets more than difficult to pinpoint the person you are looking for.
