Followers not updating correctly

Belke · Jul 3, 2023

Hello

I'm having an issue with updating my followers.
Recently, one of my reels blew up, resulting in a significant increase in followers.
However, I've noticed that the number of followers I receive doesn't match the number added to my follower list.
For example, I receive a notification that I got 20 new followers, but my overall follower count would only increase by 4.
All the followers are real people, so it's not a case of Instagram deleting bots.
Unfortunately, due to this problem, I've lost nearly 1000 followers.

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue and if they were able to resolve it.

You can check the account in the search and see if they follow you. There has been an issue with the following and followers count for a long time. It gets updated, but it takes time.
If any account followed you and you can see its notification, then check that account's following and see if your username is there or not.
If this is not the case, then your audience may have unfollowed you.

Most of the followers I receive, when I visit their accounts, it says that they are not following me at all. I would understand if they had unfollowed me. But what is strange to me is that every time, at the exact moment I receive the notification, the user is already marked as not following my account. It seems like a huge coincidence that 20 people would follow and unfollow my account in the same second. What's even worse is that I've had a few thousand such cases in the past week.
