Confused about following people on instagram? - 1

Actually, InstaDesk, more specifically because I signed up for Instagram on my friend's iPhone and I don't have one myself.

So I'm trying to ''follow'' two of my friends, who I know in real life. My computer asks me if I want to ''send a request to follow them''. I said yes to this and then I was able to click the ''follow'' button on their pages…

But then like a few minutes later, I went back to their profiles out of boredom and it says ''follow'' again…

This is weird though because I requested another friend last night, it was doing the same thing, but now we're ''following'' each other…

What happened here, honestly? What happened with my requests?

Added (1). Was it because I was never actually ''following'' two of my friends, and just ''sent a request'' to follow them?

Sometimes browsers don't quite process things correctly and you need to try multiple times

  • Why are elderly people so confused with technology most of the time? My grandma has had an iPhone for years and still doesn't know how to use it… She always asks me to help her with things that are so simple. Same with my granddad and my older aunts and uncles. They seem like they don't know how to use the simplest user friendly technology and when me or someone else who is young fixes it so easily they think were magicians. I know they didn't grow up with technology but really, is it that hard to figure out? (Not trying to offend anyone btw)

  • Twitter Glitch not showing followers or following? When I'm signed into my twitter account on the mobile app or just on my iphone internet browser I can't view my followers or anyone elses followers as well as the people, that people are following. When I click to view it it just shows no followers no matter what account i'm looking on. I signed in on a different account and everything worked just fine. I have already tried signing out, and deleting and re downloading the app. How do I fix this glitch?
  • Twitter app doesn't let me see my followers or who i'm following? I'm on my iphone and i updated the app and this happened before the update so i don't know what's happening, it doesn't let me see my followers or who i'm following. I changed my password because maybe i got hacked but its still not working. I can't see other peoples followers or who are following them and they are not even on private. I don't know what to do. The thing it reads is "No Followers" or "You are not following anyone" Help?!
