Instagram is one of the most popular social media networks used by most people. However, protecting your privacy on Instagram can be a little tricky. 

 Unfortunately, as of 2022, Instagram does not have an option that allows you to hide you are following. Unlike Facebook, there is no privacy setting to hide your friend list. Instagram has not made it very obvious and easy for those who want stricter privacy settings. Especially for those with a large number of followers but who want to hide it from others. If someone follows you on Instagram, then there is no way to prevent them from seeing who you follow. Setting your account to private will not work, as you have allowed them into your profile, so to speak. Sadly, this leaves you with only one option: You will need to set your page to private and then remove that person from your Followers list.
