After spending a lot of time reading dozens of blogs I came here to find a solution, is there anyone who has knowlege in this, and who can help me to hide my following list on instagram without privet account? I really appriciate your help.
 
The first thing to know is that Instagram doesn't let you hide your following list individually if your account is public. Basically, there's no built-in way to hide just that list while staying public. But, you can try some workarounds like:

  1. If you go private. This hides your following/followers list from anyone who doesn't follow you. It's really the only official way.
  2. Use third-party apps. But, they are risky, against Instagram's terms, and can get your account flagged or banned. So, probably avoid it if its really not necessary.
  3. You can also unfollow accounts you don't want to be visible. This is the only "safe" manual method, but tedious and not private.
 
I have a bit of a bad news for you. If you want to keep your Insta account public and enjoy private privileges, you most certainly can't. Instagram doesn't provide that feature. In retrospect if you just want to hide your list from a specific person without locking down your whole account, your best option is to block them. Blocking someone stops them from seeing your profile entirely, including your followers and who you are following.
 
So, you actually can't hide your following list if your Instagram account is public. Anyone visiting your profile can see who you follow.
To hide this info from a specific person without locking down your entire account, your only workaround is blocking them. Once blocked, they can't see your profile or lists. Also, definitely avoid third-party apps that promise to hide your following list. They don't work and often just want to steal your password.
