Over the last couple of weeks, Instagram has often been slow to calculate follower counts, leaving the displayed number wrong in half of cases. This happened before, but much less often. The visible count therefore does not always reveal the actual figure. There are still ways to establish the correct Instagram follower count…

## **The first method (long):**

 Open the profile through a direct link in the format https://instagram.com/ВАШ\_ЛОГИН using different devices and browsers. Find the highest displayed follower count: that is the correct figure. If every counter shows the same number, either it is correct or you will need to repeat the measurements.

## **The second method (reliable):**

 For every Instagram follower task, the BoS system offers a real-time chart of changes in follower count. Expand the chart and wait 5 minutes. Its peaks and troughs will then become visible. The highest peaks reflect the correct follower count. We recommend sharing this information with friends. We hope Instagram fixes the issue soon, because it has affected ALL Instagram users without exception. One qualification: profiles whose follower counts have stayed almost unchanged for a long time are unlikely to show this glitch.
