If Instagram has flagged any followers, you'll see a notification called Flagged for review that you can tap. 3. From here, tap Remove all to remove all flagged followers at once. To review and remove each individual account, tap Remove next to the account.

There are several ways to spot fake followers. The first and most obvious tactic is to visit the follower's page. Many fake followers have just a couple of posts (often none at all) and don't appear to be very active. Fake followers usually don't use pictures of real people in their profile pic or posts.

If you erase fake followers on Instagram, your follower count will decrease, but it will be a more accurate representation of your genuine followers. It can also improve the engagement rate on your posts since fake followers are not likely to engage with your content.
