Why can’t I hide my following list on Instagram like I can on other platforms? Is there a way to make it private without setting my entire account to private? I don’t want everyone seeing who I follow.

To hide your Instagram following list from your followers, you can make your account private. This will limit the visibility of your following list to only those who already follow you. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open the Instagram app on your device.
- Tap on the profile icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
- Tap on the three lines at the top-right corner to access the menu options.
- Select “Settings” from the list.
- In the Settings menu, tap on “Privacy”.
- Toggle the “Private Account” slider to the On position.
By enabling the private account setting, your following list will only be visible to your approved followers. This means that anyone who is not already following you will not be able to see your following list.
Please note that when you make your account private, it also limits the visibility of your posts and stories to only your approved followers.
