Why won't Instagram let me follow any more people?

I deleted my original account about a month ago. Yesterday I decided that I'd like to start Instagraming again. Remembering I had an old fashion account, I decided to turn it into my personal account. I unfollowed all 664 people on the account (not all at one), but when I tried to follow someone from the app, it wouldn't let me. The button would turn green then go back to blue. I gave it an hour, tried it again and it did the same thing. I also tried logging out, turning my iPhone off, and uninstalling then reinstalling the app. It's been about 17 hours now and it still won't work. I can follow people through their website or different instagram add-on apps, but not through the app itself.
Any help?

Same here… I just made another account and its working fine on my first/personal one. I'm pretty sure were just going to have to use, like you said, the instagram websites and add-on apps. Yeah, it suck but I don't know what else to do. The website I'm using is webstagram and it is working better than the instagram one, but still a big inconvenience.

  • Why won't it let me follow this person on Instagram? Well I'm trying to follow this person on Instagram and it won't let me. I'll would click follow, then it will say following for a second, then it would go back to say follow. This person did follow me and I asked them if they blocked me and they said no. I'm doing this on my iPhone 5 and I tried it on my old galaxy s1 and it did the same thing. I'm only following 101 people and I really need help.
  • Why won't instagram let me follow anyone? - 1 It keeps turning to following(green) or requested(grey) I don't know what to do.

  • Why can't I follow people or comment on pics on Instagram? Nobody has blocked me because I can't follow ANYONE. I've waited over an hour then logged back in. I have deleted the app then redownloaded it. I have also turned off my iphone. Then I tried getting on instagram on my computer and still doesn't work. Also, I have only followed 12 people.
