Can you see if someone follows you on instagram

Can someone follow you on Instagram without you knowing?

Is there a way to follow someone without them getting a notification? Sadly, there isn't. As we assert, a person will get a push-notification from Instagram once you tap on the “Follow” button. Hence, it is not possible to follow someone without them getting the notification.

Can someone tell if you look at their Instagram followers?

Instagram doesn't allow users to see who views their profile. So if you look through someone's profile and don't like or comment on a post, there's no way for them to know who sees the pictures.

How do you know whos not following you back on Instagram?

Simply head over to their Instagram profile and tap the box that says “Following.” There, you'll see a list of people that person is following. If you know for sure they were following you, but you're not on that list, you can safely assume you've been unfollowed.
