Is there a way to hide the list of people you follow on Instagram so others can’t view it, and what privacy settings control that visibility?
Instagram doesn’t let you hide your following list selectively — the only way to prevent others from seeing it is to switch your account to Private (Settings > Privacy > Account Privacy > toggle Private Account). On a private account, only approved followers can see your following/followers lists. There’s no granular option to hide just the following list while keeping your profile public.
