Deleting Fake Followers
Maintaining a healthy and engaged follower base is essential for your Instagram account’s performance. Here are some best practices for removing fake followers without negatively impacting your account:
- Regular Checks: Perform a monthly audit of your followers to identify and remove fake accounts gradually.

- Use Tools: Consider using Instagram analytics tools to identify fake or inactive accounts more easily.
Why It’s Important
Having a high number of fake followers can damage your credibility and trust with potential clients or followers. Engaged followers improve your standing with the algorithm, leading to better visibility and reach.
