Instagram is a fantastic platform for sharing photographs with friends and family. However, if you are the subject of abuse or trolling, the blocking feature may be useful.
Instagram doesn’t notify users when they’ve been blocked or unblocked in any way.
When you block anyone, they won’t be able to message you, follow you, or see your posts or stories. To block anyone, go to their profile page, tap or click the three dots next to their name, and then select “Block.”
