It is not difficult to know your pending follow-up requests on Instagram and see who you sent a request to and who has not accepted.
We have seen before how to see your friend requests sent on Facebook , and you can do the same on Instagram. In this post you will learn the steps to follow to see the requests sent on Instagram from the cell phone and the PC.
If you send a follow request on Instagram and the account is private, the person must approve your request. Over time, you may accumulate many pending requests. So I guess you want to know who you sent a follow request to and have ignored you or see your pending requests on Instagram . Below I will show you how to do it in simple steps.
See requests sent on Instagram from your cell phone
To view pending follow requests sent on Instagram from the mobile app on Android, iPhone, etc., follow these steps:
# 1 . Open the Instagram application and go to your profile by pressing your image or the icon at the bottom right.
# 2 . Press the Tools menu , select Settings , and on the next screen choose Security .
# 3 . Under the Data and history section , tap Access data .
# 4 . Scroll down to the Connections section , and click the See all link under Current fan requests .
Here you can see the requests sent on Instagram to people who have their private profile and who have not yet been accepted.

If you want to cancel follow requests sent on Instagram, do this:
- Copy each account you want to delete from the Current Followers Requests page.

View pending requests on Instagram from PC
You can also find out who you sent a request to on Instagram from the web version on your computer. You can use it in the browser on your mobile, but on the computer it will be much faster and more convenient.

It is not difficult to see the requests submitted on Instagram. Although there is no option to cancel them, there is a way to delete them one by one. I show you in the next step.

Copy the name of one of the accounts, paste it into the search and hit the Enter key .
It will take you to the account profile . You must click the Requested button .
In the window that appears, click Unfollow .
Repeat the same steps for each request you want to cancel. This process may take time depending on the number of follow-up requests you have pending.
