Every social media user can experience a time when they are waiting to be accepted by a user they’ve requested to follow. Instagram offers no different experience. But these days, that user might not even know you have requested them as a follower. Once you make a request, it gets placed in a hidden section on Instagram that makes it simple to miss.

In this article, we will look at ways of finding pending follow requests on Instagram, and provide you with some tips and tricks for getting accepted.
Pending Follow Requests
There are ways to locate all the requests you have made for Instagram followers, and they are all located in the settings menu. Here’s how to get there.
- Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right of the Instagram app.
- Tap the three lines in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Privacy.
- Tap Following.
When you follow these steps, you will see a list of pending requests.
Tips for Getting Accepted
If you find that your follow requests are frequently ignored, there might be a few things to consider. First, your profile picture should show your face clearly. No one is interested in accepting a follow request from an egg or another nondescript image.
Second, your bio should be filled out and should give people a good idea of who you are and what you’re interested in. If your bio is blank or only contains a few emojis, people are less likely to accept your request.
Finally, don’t be afraid to interact with people’s posts before you send them a follow request. Liking their photos and leaving comments will help them to get to know you and make them more likely to accept your request.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that everyone you request will accept your request. But by following these tips, you improve your chances of making some new social media friends.
