[Edit]From Your Own Profile

1. Open Instagram and tap the profile icon. The profile icon is the outline of a person's head and shoulders at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This opens your profile.
   
   • If you're using a computer, click your profile icon at the top-right and select Profile.
2. Tap . You'll see this at the top of your profile along with the number of people following you.
   
3. Start typing the person's name or username into the Search field. It's at the top of the screen. As you type, a list of matching search results will appear.
   
   • If you're using Instagram on a computer, you won't be able to search this list. If your Followers list is long and it's taking too long to scroll through, check from the other person's profile instead.
4. Find the person on the list. If the person you're searching for is following you, you'll see their profile on your Followers list.

   • If the person's profile is private and you aren't following them, you won't be able to view their Following list. Check from your own profile to see if the person is following you.
5. Find your own name at the top of the list. If this person follows you on Instagram, you'll see your own name and profile link at the top of the list.
   
   • If this person also follows hashtags, your profile will be just below the followed hashtags.

[Edit]Tips

• Want to remove a follower who you don't follow back? If your account is private, you can tap Remove next to the person's name on your Followers list to prevent that person from seeing your private content in the future.^[1]
• If you want to remove a follower and don't want to make your account private, you can block that user. Just head over to their profile, tap the three dots at the top, and then select Block.^[2]
