Are you using an SMM panel to grow your Instagram followers but noticing that new followers aren't showing up in your follower list? The culprit is likely Instagram's "Flag for Review" feature. In this quick guide, we'll show you exactly how to disable it so your new followers appear instantly.
Instagram's "Flag for Review" is a security feature designed to filter potentially suspicious follower requests. While it's meant to protect your account from spam, it can cause problems when you're legitimately growing your audience through SMM services.
When this feature is enabled, new followers don't appear in your main follower list immediately. Instead, they get placed in a separate "Flagged for Review" folder, waiting for your manual approval. This can make it seem like your SMM orders aren't working—when in reality, the followers are there, just hidden away.
If you're using LikesGrow or any SMM panel to boost your Instagram followers, keeping this feature enabled can cause several issues:
Delayed Follower Count – Your follower numbers won't update until you manually approve each flagged account.
Confusion About Orders – You might think your SMM order failed when followers are actually waiting in the review folder.
Extra Work – Manually approving hundreds or thousands of followers is time-consuming and unnecessary.
Missed Engagement – Flagged followers can't interact with your content until approved.
Follow these simple steps to disable the feature:
Launch the Instagram app and go to your profile. Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top right corner, then select Settings and Privacy.
Scroll down and tap on Follow and Invite Friends. This section contains all the settings related to how people can follow and interact with your account.
Look for the Flag for Review option and make sure it's unchecked or turned off.
That's it! Once disabled, all new followers will be automatically added to your follower list without requiring manual approval.

Now that you've disabled Flag for Review, here are some additional tips to maximize your Instagram growth:
Start with Gradual Orders – Don't order thousands of followers at once. Gradual growth looks more natural and keeps your account safe.
Combine with Engagement – Pair follower growth with likes and comments for a more authentic-looking profile.
Keep Your Account Public – Private accounts require follow requests, which can slow down delivery.
Post Quality Content – New followers are more likely to stick around and engage if your content is valuable.
Use Our Free Services – LikesGrow offers free Instagram followers to help you get started without any cost.
Will turning off Flag for Review put my account at risk? No. This is simply a preference setting. Disabling it doesn't violate Instagram's terms or put your account in danger.
I disabled it but still don't see my followers. What's wrong? Give it a few minutes for changes to take effect. If the issue persists, check if you have any pending followers in the Flagged folder that need approval first.
Can I turn Flag for Review back on later? Yes, you can enable or disable this feature anytime through the same settings menu.
Does this work for business accounts? Yes, the steps are the same for personal, creator, and business accounts on Instagram.
