If you don't want to change your Instagram privacy settings but don't want a particular user to be able to access your photographs, then there is the possibility of blocking a user to prevent them from seeing any of your activity on Instagram. If you still don't know how to block someone on Instagram, at OneHowTo.com we'll explain what do, step by step.
You'll need:
- A mobile phone with access to the Internet. This is essential to carry out the blocking process and manage your Instagram account effectively.
- Instagram. The app is required to perform the blocking of users and to access various privacy settings.
Steps to follow:
Open Instagram and tap the profile of the person or user that you would like to block. This is the first step in ensuring that your content remains private from users you wish to restrict access to.
Click on the icon with the three dots located in the upper part of the screen next to the name of the user. This icon provides access to various options for managing interactions with the user.
Three options will appear:
- Block user
- Report inappropriate content
- Copy profile URL
You need to choose the first option to block that user, although you can also choose to report their profile if you think it is spam. Reporting inappropriate content is a useful tool to keep the platform safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Now Instagram will ask you if you really want to block this user, just to make sure that it is the user you want to block and to prevent unintended blocks or errors. Therefore, you need to select the option "Yes, I'm sure".
