Click on it and select \u2018find friends\u2019\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>You have been provided where you can search and find out if your friends are using Instagram. This can be done through Facebook, twitter and even using your contact list on the phone. The Instagram phone number search allows you to find people but it is mostly applicable if it is a business number or it can be accessed on their profile.<\/li>\n<li>after the list of your friends on those networks that already have Instagram accounts have been displayed, there is a \u201cfollow\u201d icon next to their name, click on it\u00a0 to start following them. In the event their account has been labeled as private, you may have to send a request to them and you can become friends once your request has been approved by the bearer of the account. The notable users of <a href=\"https:\/\/famoid.com\/buy-instagram-followers\/\">Instagram that include celebrities and influential individuals can be followed<\/a> by clicking on the suggested\u2019 users icon.

You can then click on the user who uploaded the post and begin following them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Why can\u2019t I find an account I am looking for?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Under certain circumstances, one can find it difficult to find an account that he\/she has an interest in. this can be due to the following;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are blocked by the bearer of the account you are looking for. In these circumstances you cannot completely view their profile.<\/li>\n<li>The profile of the person you are looking for might have been deactivated or deleted either temporarily or permanently.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, you might just be entering in the wrong details like the username.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to increase your chances of finding the account you are looking for, make sure to do the following;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be careful enough to ensure the credentials have been entered correctly. Pay attention to ensure the username is correctly written, ensure characters are not substituted, example using 0 instead of O, &#8211; instead of _ among other errors. It is easier if you copy and paste the username in the required field.<\/li>\n<li>In case you do the above and still cannot get the account, try using another device to find them. It would be much better if you use a web browser in these circumstances.\u00a0 You can do this without signing in to your account by writing the Instagram address, a forward slash and their profile name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Problem still persist?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have done all this and still can\u2019t find the account, then the account name might probably be having some errors. Sign in and find out if it still appears. If you cannot see it, contact the owners of the account to find out if you have been blocked by the user. They might have done this accidentally and they can reverse the block by swiping left to the sub menu and looking under\u00a0 settings \u2018\u2019 then selecting \u2018\u2019 privacy and security\u2019\u2019 then \u201cblocked accounts\u201d. A block list appears and the person might look up to see if you are on the list. In the event you are on the list and it happened accidentally, the block can be reversed. In case you have not been blocked but still can\u2019t find the account, then your device or app might be having an issue. Uninstall it, refresh the device and download it again.
