Instagram continues as one of the most popular social networks among Internet users worldwide, and Mexico is no exception.
Statista data revealed that, as of January 2022, it was the third most used social media platformwith a 79.1 market penetration.
Thanks to its intuitive use, as well as its dynamism and the possibilities it offers, Instagram continues to be liked by the audience.
But this is not an impediment so that, sometimes, some of us feel that certain people should no longer see our activity on the network.
Whatever the reason, there are ways to stop receiving notifications from certain followersor in an extreme case block or delete.
How to remove, block and mute a person on Instagram?
There are several ways to stop knowing about a contact on Instagram, the most drastic being the elimination.
Next we tell you how you can mute, block and delete someone on instagram.
Mute
It is the simplest and least intense tool, to say the least, since without blocking or deleting it, it allows you not to find out what it does and not know about that person, at least in this social network.
An important point is that the follower you mute will not know that you have done this, so they will continue to see your posts, send you direct messages and comment on your photos, stories, etc.
What you must do is enter the profile of that person you want to silence. Then click on the “Continuing” option.
Then click on the option “mute” and then choose what you want to disablethat is, posts or stories.
To restrict
A next stage is to restrict certain contacts, an action that will not allow them to see when you are online, although they will be able to see your posts and stories. To do this follow these steps:
- Access the profile you want to restrict.
- Then click on the “menu” button.
- And finally select the “restrict” option.
To block
This would be like the last phase and, consequently, the most drastic of all, since you will remove any contact and user activity viewing that you block.
Said block applies to both parties, and although no notification is sent, it is likely that the person you blocked knows that you have done them.
This is because will not have access to your profile or any activities you do on Instagram.
All you have to do is three simple steps. First, go to the profile of that contact you want to block. Then go to the menu and finally select “block”.
