There are multiple ways you can restrict someone on Instagram. If you restrict someone:

  • They won’t be able to see when you’re online or if you’ve read their messages. 
  • Their new comments on your posts will only be visible to that person, and you can choose to see the comment by tapping See comment. If you want others to be able to see their comment, you can tap Approve, then tap Approve to confirm, or you can delete it or ignore it.
  • You won’t receive any notifications for future comments from that person.
When you block someone from commenting, they can still view your photos and videos. Any new comments from them won’t be visible to anyone else except for them.

Your chat with the restricted person will move from your main Direct inbox to Message Requests, and future messages from people that you’ve restricted will automatically move to Message Requests.

You’ll be able to see the person’s message without the person knowing that you’ve seen it. You can then choose to delete the message or block or unrestrict the person.

If you’re in a group chat with someone that you’ve restricted, you’ll get a warning that you’ll see a restricted account’s messages. You can choose to stay or leave the group.

To unblock someone from commenting on your photos and videos, tap Unblock next to their name and then tap Unblock again to confirm. Keep in mind that when you block someone from commenting, it doesn't remove their previous comments.
