According to Twitter user reports, the issue is independent of the device's operating system and Instagram's version of the app. The disappearance of the tab has been noted on both iPhone (iOS) and Android phones. Apparently, the test happens according to the Instagram account, as people with more than one profile on the social network commented that one of them lost the tab, while the other remained normal.

In some forums, users have commented that downloading an unofficial APK with the previous version of the Instagram app solves the problem. As reported by the social network to dnetcBut the experimental removal by Instagram is irreversible. This means that users cannot resume the "Following" tab on their own.

It is also noteworthy that when someone downloads APK apps, it exposes the device to a number of external threats, as alternative programs do not go through the Google Play Store verification process. It is possible, for example, that the software has been modified without the developer knowing how to intercept data and infect the device with viruses. You are advised to wait for the test to complete to get back the "Following" tab.
