Blocking people is one of the most useful Instagram privacy features. Keeping someone out of your profile for whatever reason is pretty easy to do. Better yet, there are a few ways to do it:

Block Someone on Instagram

1. Tap the username of who you want to block.
2. Tap the settings button
3. Choose “Block.”

If you don’t want to completely block someone, you can also just keep them from commenting on your photos:

Block Photo Comments:

1. Open your profile
2. Tap on the settings button.
3. Tap “Comment Controls”
4. You should see a “People” option next to “Block Comments From.”
5. Enter the name of the person you want to block and select “Block.”

If you want to go even further and report someone for a message or comment, do the following:

Report a Comment/Message

1. Open the conversation
2. Tap the message/comment in question
3. Tap the “Report” option.
