Instagram offers different privacy settings for posts and stories. While you cannot change the privacy of individual posts, you can customize the privacy of stories. That is, you can hide stories from specific followers.
In order to hide stories, follow the steps:
Step 1: Launch Instagram Settings and tap on Story Controls.
Step 2: Select the followers from whom you want to hide stories under the Hide story from option.

Obviously, you need to make sure that Instagram is able to find your location for that last feature to work. That means enabling location sharing on your iPhone.
As you might know, location sharing can be a major security concern. While the extent of your vulnerability is up for debate, there are times when you just don’t want to run the risk. If you’re experiencing one of those times, then here’s how you disable your location on Instagram.
Again, this will remove some Instagram features, so make sure you know what you’re missing out on.

This function also lets you permanently hide a profile. That means that it will never appear in your search history. That makes it so you don’t have to constantly clear your history.
If you want to hide a profile from your searches, just follow these steps:
This should forever hide the profile in question from your searches.
