Instagram is testing a new feature to remove followers discreetly

Instagram is testing a new feature with some public users on Android that allows them to manually remove followers without notifying them.

The new feature will not notify the user if they’ve been removed from a user’s followers list. In order to see if you’ve got access to the Remove Follower feature, head to your follower’s list, click on the icon with three vertical dots to the far right of a user’s name, it will bring up a prompt to remove the selected user.
