If you are a regular Instagram user and posts interesting content, other users can find and follow your profile. You can scroll through the “Your followers” list and follow them back. Having a large following on Instagram is advantageous, especially if you are using your account to promote a business or product.

However, some of the followers you have can be a nuisance; leaving irrelevant comments on your posts. If this happens, there are some actions that you can take; you can unfollow or block them. But can you remove Instagram followers without blocking them? Yes, it’s possible. In another related article, we discussed how you can selectively hide Instagram Stories on Android.
