If you’re following someone on Instagram, and they’ve sent you a follow request, it’s important to check to see if the request has been received. To do this, open the Instagram app and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. The first line will show you how many followers your follower has. The second line will show you how many requests they’ve made for follow requests. The third line will tell you how many followers your follower has currently. If your follower has fewer than three followers, then their follow request hasn’t been received yet.
