How to User Block on Instagram

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.

How to find other Instagram users to follow

Instagram can help you find and follow your Facebook friends and phone contacts who are already on Instagram. To see Instagram’s suggestions on an Android phone, go to your profile and tap the button with three vertical dots in the top right. Tap “Find Friends” and then choose to find friends from Facebook, from Instagram suggested users, or from your phone’s contact list. Tap “follow” next to users whose posts you’d like to see in your feed.

In the iOS app, go to your profile and tap the gear in the top right. Tap “Find People to Follow” to choose to find friends from Facebook, from Instagram suggested users, or from your phone’s contact list. Tap “follow” next to users whose posts you’d like to see in your feed. In the Windows Phone app, go to your profile and tap the icon with three horizontal dots in the bottom right. Tap settings, then select “Find and Invite Friends.” From there, tap “Follow your friends” to find friends from Facebook or from your contact list. Tap “Suggested Users” to find others whose posts you might like, and tap “follow” next to users whose posts you’d like to see in your feed.

You can also find people whom you might like to follow through the Explore tab, which you can access by tapping the magnifying glass icon. Tap “Photos” to see photos and videos that people whom you follow have liked or that a large number of Instagram users have liked. Tap “People” to see accounts that you might like, based on whom you follow, whom you’re connected to, and what photos and videos you like on Instagram.

Another way to find other users is to search for people or hashtags on Instagram. Using the search bar at the top of Search & Explore, choose whether you’re looking for users or hashtags. You can search for people by their name or their Instagram username.
