Answer

Use Instagram's current account-information tools to review the information available for your account. If a pending follow request can be viewed, cancel it from that account's profile instead of relying on a third-party tracker.

Cancel a visible pending request

If the target account still shows Requested, open that profile and cancel the request there.

If it does not work
