Instagram followers suddenly gone - what's wrong?

If some of your followers on Instagram are suddenly gone, you are probably not alone with this problem. We'll tell you what it's all about.

And suddenly the Instagram followers are gone - what's going on?

• The last time this problem occurred was on April 11, 2014: Instagram updated its service and thus also the number of followers. From this point inactive followers were no longer counted.
• Many users lost so many followers. This event can happen again on Instagram at any time. However, it is unclear exactly when a user is considered inactive.
• If your followers have not suffered the same fate, it can also be an isolated case. You may have posted something that made your followers stop following you.
