Recently, Instagram made a change to its settings and changed the way it checks who did not accept its “follow” request — existing feature in private profiles, where the account owner needs to approve a new follower, almost like a “friend request”. Now, it is more difficult to identify who rejected or failed to respond to your request. Check below which are the three possible methods to find out who did not approve your friend request.
How to see who accepted my request
Until some time ago, Instagram had a section within the Settings that showed pending requests — this method has been closed by the platform. Now there are two ways to verify these orders.
The first is the “manual” one, directly accessing the account of the person you asked to follow. If the person has not yet accepted, the “Follow” button will appear with the message “Requested”. If the option for you to follow appears again, it’s because the person rejected your “friend request” — maybe you’re not really friends after all.
How to see my requests for downloading data
This method is much more laborious and time-consuming, but it shows all pending requests at once. When doing the Backup all your data on Instagram, you can access a folder that records all the accounts you’ve asked to follow. See the step by step of this method.
- Access the folder containing your Instagram backup
- Click on the “follower_and_following” subfolder
- Click on the file “pending_following_requests
- By clicking on the file, you will see any pending requests
However, checking in this way which accounts have not yet accepted your authorization to follow may bring out-of-date information. In the tests carried out by Technoblogsome accounts with a pending request did not appear — besides, you cannot know which accounts rejected your friend request.
So, even using this method, you may need to check “manually”, as presented in the previous topic, to find out if your request was accepted or not.
View my friend requests from third-party apps
A third method, which we do not recommend, is using third-party applications that promise this “management” of followers and accounts that you are following. Nonetheless, your safety is at riskas the apps require logging in and linking your Instagram account to the service.
Instagram, on its Help Center page, has a section on third-party apps. The platform reinforces the risks of passing your access data, including tokens, to these account management services.
“If you provide these apps with your login information, either with an access token or by providing your username and password, they will have full access to your account. They will be able to see your personal messages, find information about your friends, and possibly post spam or harmful content on your profile. This puts your safety and the safety of your friends at risk.”
Yup. There are some ways to do this in an “automated” and “manual” way. In the automated version, you can install extensions on your Chrome web browser or Kiwi Browser on mobile🇧🇷 The manual way is to access a person’s profile and see who they follow. If you appear at the top of the list, it follows you.
Instagram has a native feature that allows you to professional accounts see traffic on their profiles🇧🇷 Nonetheless, it is not possible to know who viewed your accountjust the amount of access in a certain period of time — 7, 14, 30 or 90 days.
To prevent spam, Instagram has created a limitation of the following accounts: the maximum number of profiles you can follow is 7,500. There are no limits to followers — after all, influencers need a large number of fans to be successful on the platform, and therefore make Instagram relevant.
