Furthermore, you can uninstall the app and install it again to avoid the glitch and bugs.

Why Your Instagram Follow Request Disappear?

There are some common reasons behind the question, of why your Instagram follow request disappears. Let's discuss some of the possible reasons in this article below:
  • Sometimes when you send the follow request to that particular person and possibly that person cancels your follow request then it will disappear from your notification area.
  • It is also possible that the person makes his account public, in that case, your follow request disappears as you can follow that person without sending a request.
  • Also, if you send a follow request to someone for a while, then it will go on the pending list, as it will not appear on the notification area of that person's Instagram page.
  • Most importantly, Instagram never deletes the follow request of anyone automatically, so there is no option that your follow request may expire.
  • Also, glitches and bugs are responsible for disappearing the follow request, as maybe your app needs an update or you are facing a network issue at the time of sending the follow request.
