Instagram limits certain actions on followers to prevent spam and maintain a quality user experience. Here are the main follower-related limits on Instagram in 2025:

• Total follow limit: You can follow up to 7,500 accounts per profile. Once you hit this limit, you cannot follow more accounts unless you unfollow others first. This limit is permanent for each account.
• Daily follow limit: You can follow about 150 to 200 new accounts within a 24-hour period. New or low-activity accounts may have stricter daily limits.
• Hourly follow limit: Instagram restricts follows to roughly 10 to 60 per hour depending on account age and activity to prevent rapid mass following.
• Instagram may block follows temporarily if they detect suspicious or spammy behavior, such as following/unfollowing too fast or too many actions at once.
• The platform also limits other engagements like likes (about 1,000 per day) and comments (excessive commenting might trigger blocks).
• If you exceed limits, you may face action blocks lasting 24 to 48 hours or longer.

In addition, Instagram does not let you hide your followers list except by blocking those people; you cannot selectively hide follower information. These limits are designed to reduce spam, bot activity, and encourage authentic engagement on the platform.
