Instagram Remove Follower

If you are a public account holder and were cribbing about blocking a follower on Instagram while letting them know they have been blocked, it will no longer be a worry as Instagram Remove Follower feature is under experimentation.

Instagram Remove Follower feature will give you more control on your followers list on the popular photo-sharing app and will just be a tab away in the list. So blocking or making your account back to private would no more be the only options to shut the unwanted intrusion among your followers.
