Why won't instagram let me follow anyone?

I'm at 34.2k followers and I'm forced to follow 288 accounts because instagram still hasn't fixed that issue but anyway, I admit I used to do f4f but I've started just to follow my friends (so I'm following about 200 more now) and I tried following more but it won't let me. I tried unfollowing some to follow different people, didn't work (I can unfollow but not follow).It's been like this for a few days and I'm starting to get really pissed.

In short, I can't follow people but I can unfollow. It's been Like this for days. I've uninstalled the app and turned off my device 3 times each on my iPhone and my iPad, still no luck, I have no idea what to do.

But have you prayed to any gods for help on this matter? Which ones? We need to know this stuff before we can help you.

You aren't spiritual enough, perhaps.

  • 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.
