On Instagram, like any social network, a user can be blocked from seeing what we post again. The problem comes when that user opens another account, since, if we have a public profile, they will see all our news and stories again. Well, now there is a faculty so that you can not do it, even if you change accounts.
All of us who have Instagram or another social network have the fact of having a contact that annoys us or that is simply there to hurt, with insults or out of tune comments. The best solution, before entering the same game as him, is to block said account so that it does not continue to bother you.
However, the problem reappears when that same person opens another account, but with a different name, since most of the time we will suffer the same misplaced comments.
We can block all the accounts that are opened, but the truth is that the number of accounts that you can continue to open can be infinite.
That is why from Instagram they have created a faculty to be able to block future accounts That person opens from now on, so it will be much more difficult to bother him again.
Now we will know what Instagram allows us to do so that an account does not bother us:
How to block an account
The first thing we must know is that we can block an account to a user whenever we want. If it is bothering us in any way the best will be block him and go.
It is true that the vast majority of people who use Instagram are not harmful to others and coexistence is completely correct. But there are times when you can meet other users who can be heavy, short or rude.
In the event that you cannot hold a person any longer, it is best to block them so they cannot continue to bother you. To do this, the following steps must be taken:
- We open Instagram, how could it be otherwise.
- Then we must locate the account of the person we want to block and immediately enter their profile.
- Once we are inside the profile, click on the three vertical points that we will find in the upper right part.
- In the drop-down that just came out we select To block.
- Then we must mark the option Block to and then the name of that account.
How to block future accounts of the same user
As we have already discussed, the user we have blocked can make more accounts. If we see that this happens the best will be also block the accounts you create over time so that it cannot disturb us in the future.
This may seem a priori quite radical action, but it is true that many times there is no choice. On Instagram they know it and that is why now they give the opportunity to block.
We must carry out the same steps as in the previous case with a small variation:
- We open Instagram.
- Now let’s locate the account of the person we want to block.
- We enter your profile and click on the three vertical points that we will find in the upper right part of the application.
- Now we get a screen where we must click on To block.
- At that moment we have two options from which we must mark the one that says Block (account name) and new accounts you can create.
In this way, as soon as that user opens a new account, they will become part of those that are blocked.
It’s a great way to protect yourself against individuals who don’t hesitate to switch accounts.
If blocking seems too much for you, you can restrict a user
If blocking seems like an exaggeration, you can always restrict that user. This is a much less aggressive formula, but one that is full of restrictions.
These restrictions are that limit interaction of the user we restrict, only we will see the comments of that person on Instagram and all messages will automatically go to the request list message.
The steps you must follow are the following:
- We open the section Setting of Instagram, entering our profile and clicking on the three vertical stripes at the top right of the screen.
- Then we will Privacy.
- Next we must find where it says Restricted accounts and press
- At that moment we click on Continue and then we will see Seeks place where we write the name of the account that we want to restrict.
- As soon as it comes out we just have to click on To restrict and that account will be left for this purpose.
Thanks to everything you have read today, you already know how you can restrict and block a user account and even block all the accounts that the same user creates.
It is a good way to protect ourselves against those toxic people that only those who face or are extremely heavy when it comes to be on social media.
Undoubtedly, all of us who move through these types of networks such as Instagram, we end up blocking someone, because, unfortunately, there are people who do not want to live in harmony with others and only seek confrontation. In that case, the best thing is to cut our losses and not complicate our lives, if we have to block, so be it.
