ik its deprecated btw. Brave TheRealChicken#4398 I tried it at other threads on this forum but they dont seem to work

CodePudding user response：

You are using absolute xpath which is not preferred because a minor change in website renders your code ineffective. Always try to use relative xpath.

Anyway, try this code, it will work.

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//main[@role='main']//button/div[contains(string(), 'Follow')]").click()

Change the text "Follow" as per what you see in your language on instagram. For german language, the code should be

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//main[@role='main']//button/div[contains(string(), 'Folgen')]").click()
