How to block and unblock someone on Instagram 2022

Instagram, like every other Social media platform, enables and enhances socialization. What this means is that all kinds and manner of people have access to your page and profile especially when your page is open to the general public( not a private account). 

On Instagram, people can follow you and see your posts and stories, and you can also follow your friends or people who post things of interest to you. 




Aside from Instagram being used to connect with family & friends, your Instagram account may also be targeted for trolls, abuse, or harassment in general. When it happens this way, the only option you are left with is to block that user account from continually harassing you.

When you block someone on Instagram, they are not able to see your posts again, comment, or even send you message requests(DMs) anymore. Therefore, blocking someone on Instagram is the most effective technique to cease getting and seeing harassing content from that account.

One cool feature Instagram added is, once you block someone from the Instagram app, you will have the option to block any future accounts which will be created and associated with that particular account. Also, Instagram will not give users notice that they have been blocked.
