@Sudge32 Hello, Thanks a lot for letting me know about that bug. This is due to a change in the Instagram front end. I will fix it ASAP. 💯

@autumnlewjb Wanna give a try?

@swaaz Ya sure, the problem should have happened during the login process. However, I am able to login without any errors so I am not really sure where the error is.
My guess is that the error is probably situational where it happens because something is covering the login button. I think what I can do is to add a wait statement before clicking the login button.

@autumnlewjb The error was in the button which is supposed to close following and followers pop up. I fixed that bug but there is one more bug. When you check for followers and following, it will also take the names of people who are under suggestion. This will give the wrong result when we compare followers and following. I have pushed the code so try to debug.
