If you&#8217;ve ever found yourself feeling awkward, don&#8217;t worry; there&#8217;s a simple way to unfollow someone. Just make sure to double-check your selection of name first. Alternatively, you can also block, mute, or restrict another account. This method can be a little awkward if you&#8217;re not sure which account you&#8217;re trying to unfollow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing\"><\/span>Unfollowing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have noticed that someone has been following you on Instagram but you don&#8217;t want to keep up with their posts, you&#8217;re in luck! This article will show you how to unfollow someone on Instagram. You&#8217;ll also learn how to stop a follower from following you back. It&#8217;s very easy to do, and it won&#8217;t take much time. Just follow the steps below and you&#8217;ll be good to go!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking\"><\/span>Blocking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to block someone on Instagram, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. There are a number of ways to do so. To begin blocking someone, use the search tab and type in their username. Once you&#8217;ve found the account you want to block, simply select &#8220;Dismiss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muting\"><\/span>Muting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to get away from a person on Instagram is to mute them. By muting their posts, Stories, and other content, you can prevent them from seeing your content. In addition, you can unfollow someone who you no longer wish to see your content. This can be done in your account settings, so you will have to log in to your account to see the content they&#8217;ve shared. Once you&#8217;ve muted someone on Instagram, they won&#8217;t know that they&#8217;ve been unfollowed, and they won&#8217;t be notified that you&#8217;ve done it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricting\"><\/span>Restricting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restricting who you unfollow on Instagram is a useful option if you find yourself interacting with certain people more frequently than others. You can limit the number of users you follow, as well as what they can see and post. The restriction feature is also helpful if you&#8217;re concerned about safety. People can be blocked from viewing your posts if they violate Instagram&#8217;s terms of service. But how do you know when it&#8217;s the right time to unfollow someone?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricting_a_user\"><\/span>Restricting a user<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can restrict a user&#8217;s access to your account on Instagram. This prevents a user from being able to comment on your posts. It will appear in their &#8220;Requests&#8221; folder. Messages sent to a restricted user will not be delivered to their inbox. When you want to reply to a message, you can tap on the &#8220;read&#8221; status of the message. After you&#8217;ve restricted a user, you&#8217;ll need to remove the restriction to make them see your messages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricting_a_user_from_seeing_your_postsstories\"><\/span>Restricting a user from seeing your posts\/stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in restricting a user from seeing your posts\/story is to decide who should be able to see them. Facebook offers the option of blocking specific people or groups from seeing your story, while Instagram uses the &#8220;restricted&#8221; feature to prevent certain people from seeing your posts. Unlike blocking, however, this method does not prevent the person from seeing your story or replying to any comments that they make. Once you&#8217;ve made your decision, you can then move forward with creating your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_the_time_interval_at_which_you_unfollow\"><\/span>Changing the time interval at which you unfollow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One common mistake on Instagram is unfollowing someone by accident. This can be embarrassing for you and for the person you&#8217;re following. The next time you visit Instagram, they will see your unfollow, but they will most likely not follow you back. Then, you&#8217;ll have to wait three days for them to do it again. In this way, your growth will be stunted.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-QBooQEVK5s\" width=\"467\" height=\"261\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Unfollow Someone on Instagram?
