Sadly, there’s no way to tell at all unless you go through every single follower on your account to determine if they’re real or not. If you receive unique comments from followers, then they’re real, but if you receive comments that have nothing to do with your photos, then they’re probably fake or not real. It’s really hard to tell these days who is and isn’t a real follower, so just continue doing what you’re doing and focus on content and interacting with your followers to the best of your ability.
Ghost followers, or as some people call them ghost accounts or lurkers, are users on Instagram who don’t engage with your account and stay inactive all the time. The most common way that accounts gain ghost followers is through buying fake followers. These fake followers or bots only help you to have a bigger number written next to your follower section. They don’t engage with your content, and if they do, which is rare, the result might be embarrassing! There is a ghost follower app that can help you find your best Instagram fans and get rid of the others. Using its free version, you can get a comprehensive report of your account performance and even see who unfollowed you.
