Can I transfer followers from one Instagram account to another?

Unfortunately no, you cannot migrate followers between different Instagram accounts. However, if you still have access to your old account, you can create content prompting followers to follow your new account. Post a story saying something like ‘Hey everyone, I created a new account, please follow me there’ and tag the new account using the @ symbol and username. People can tap that tag and go directly to the new profile. That said, consider carefully whether starting fresh is really necessary—you may be better off keeping your existing audience.
