Fortunately, there are a few ways to see who you've requested on the app. In this article, we'll go over some quick tips to help you keep track of your requested follows, so you can manage your account more efficiently. 

If you're an active user of Instagram, you know that following other users is one of the primary ways to engage with content and grow your audience. However, not all follow requests come from people you know or want to interact with.

Why you may want to see the list of People you have requested On Instagram

Checking your follow requests is essential to ensure that you're only allowing people you trust or those whose content you're interested in to follow you.

By reviewing your requests, you can prevent spam accounts from flooding your followers' list or avoid interacting with accounts that violate the App's community guidelines. You may also want to view your requests to confirm that you haven't accidentally sent requests to users you're not familiar with.

 Additionally, checking your requests can help you maintain a positive and safe online presence. It's important to be mindful of who you associate with on social media, as the content and behavior of those you follow or allow to follow you can reflect on your own online reputation.
