How to Fix Instagram Posts, Followers, Following Not Showing

Is your Instagram profile not showing your posts, followers or followers?

When you visit someone’s profile, you can see their profile picture, name, and bio.

You can also see how many posts they have and how many followers and how many people they are following.

This information will always be public—even if the user has a private account.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix Instagram posts, followers, and followers that aren’t showing, missing, or not working.

Why is Instagram not showing posts, followers and followers?

Instagram is not showing posts, followers and followers due to a bug/glitch.

This can also happen because you have followed or unfollowed too many people continuously.

If so, the information on your profile will be temporarily hidden.

Because followers and watchlists are hidden, you won’t be able to follow or unfollow people in a row.

This is done by the Instagram team to minimize spam, bots or automation on the app.

Third-party apps can also make your posts, followers, and followers hidden, so you need to remove them.

This is because some third-party apps allow you to follow or unfollow people at a faster rate.

In some cases, Instagram outages can cause problems so you need to check if the app is down on downdetector.com/status/instagram/.

To fix Instagram posts, followers or followers not showing up, you can try downloading an older version of Instagram.

You can also try updating the app or using the desktop version of Instagram.

If you’ve followed or unfollowed too many people at once, or if Instagram is down, you’ll need to wait 24 to 48 hours to fix the error.

Other troubleshooting methods include reinstalling the app, force quitting the app and then reopening it, or clearing the app’s cache.

Note: This only works with Android devices—if you’re using an iPhone, you’ll need to try the other methods below.

Visit instagram.com on a desktop or mobile browser.
Sign in to your Instagram account.
Go to your profile and check if your posts, followers and followers are showing.

Wait 24 to 48 hours: If you’ve followed/unfollowed too many people or if Instagram is down, you need to wait up to 48 hours to see your posts/followers/followers.
