How To Hide A Post From Someone On Instagram?
Instagram gives us a lot of options if we want to hide a post or story from someone, these all features are easy to use and we have listed them all below in an easy manner for you to understand.
Make Your Account Private
It’s the best way to keep track of your followers and keep the people in your followers’ list whom you trust and want to share your posts and stories on Instagram. If your account is private no one else can see your post and stories unless you accept their follow request on Instagram.
To make your Instagram account private follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
Step 2: Click on the horizontal three lines on the top right corner then click on “Settings”.
Step 3: Go to “Privacy” and turn on the toggle for “Private account”.
Now your account will be turned into a private account.
Restrict The Account
Restricting an account on Instagram is different from blocking because when you restrict someone he will not be able to comment on your posts and their messages will also be in your request box. It will not hide your post and stories but I have noticed that when we restrict someone they will see less of our posts and stories on Instagram feed.
To restrict someone on Instagram follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Open the Instagram app and go to the account you want to restrict.
Step 2: Now click on the three dots just right next to the person’s username.
Step 3: Just click on “Restrict” and confirm it.
The person you restrict will now see less of your posts and stories and also will not be able to comment on them.
Block The Account
It’s the best way to protect your account from unwanted followers or fake accounts. Blocking an account will completely stop them from visiting your profile.
To block someone on Instagram follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Open the Instagram app and go to the account you want to block.
Step 2: Click on the three dots right next to the username.
Step 3: Now click on “Block”.
The account you blocked will now be removed from your followers and will not be able to visit your profile till you unblock them.
Remove From The Followers List
Removing someone from your followers is the best option if you cannot block the person and do not want them to see your future posts and stories. But make sure you have a private account because if you have a public account they will still be able to visit your profile and follow you again.
Follow the steps given below to remove someone from followers on Instagram:
Step 1: Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
Step 2: Now click on the “Followers” tab.
Step 3: Search for the person you want to remove and then click on the “Remove” button.
The person you removed will now not be able to see your profile and posts on Instagram.
