Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to do so. You can block a user, set up a private account, archive a post, or use the Hootsuite social media management software. Here are three of them. Just follow these steps and you&#8217;ll have no trouble keeping your posts private!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_a_user\"><\/span>Blocking a user<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve discovered that someone is abusing the Instagram app, you can block them. You must first verify your relationship with the company or account owner. If you do not have any proof, then you will have to wait a day or two before you can restore your account privileges. In the meantime, don&#8217;t repeat the actions that got you blocked in the first place. Instagram reserves the right to disable accounts at any time without warning. Nevertheless, you can always appeal an account-blocking decision.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve blocked a user, you must unlock their profile. Unblocking someone on Instagram is easy to do. First, you must enter the blocked user&#8217;s profile and click on the three dots that appear on the screen. From there, you can choose the option &#8220;Unblock.&#8221; In some smartphones, this option will be visible once you&#8217;ve entered their profile. Then, you must confirm that you&#8217;re ok to let this person see your posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_a_private_account\"><\/span>Setting up a private account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Setting up a private Instagram account allows you to share your pictures and updates with only the people you follow. Unlike the public Instagram account, private accounts are hidden from the public, so people who want to see your updates won&#8217;t be able to. If you want to limit the visibility of your posts on Instagram, private accounts can help you avoid stalking. The process is easy, and you can do it on any platform, including PCs and Macs.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of setting up a private Instagram account are numerous. For one, it&#8217;s easy to follow other people if they don&#8217;t have a private account. Another benefit is that people who follow you may be more likely to find your posts if they stumble upon them. Additionally, private Instagram accounts protect the original content that you share. Whether you&#8217;re posting images for a personal or business account, setting up a private account is a smart move.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Archiving_a_post\"><\/span>Archiving a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you accidentally deleted a post on your Instagram account, you may have noticed that other people may have seen it too. Fortunately, there is a way to archive it without permanently deleting it. Using Instagram Archive will move the post to a private part of your profile. Archived posts can be restored later, and do not notify other users. You also retain full control of the post. The only difference between archived and deleted posts is that they will no longer appear in your feed.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike deletion, archiving a post on Instagram will not permanently remove it from your profile. You can bring any post back to life at any time. To do this, go to your profile, tap the clock icon, select &#8220;Archive,&#8221; and then tap on the post you wish to restore. Once you have retrieved the post, you can either delete it or archive it. You can use the archive feature to keep memories of your life online.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Hootsuite\"><\/span>Using Hootsuite<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When using social media management tools like Hootsuite to hide Instagram posts, you can set the privacy of your posts to protect yourself from unwanted attention. You can also choose to use the free version, or upgrade to a paid plan if you need more advanced features. You can manage up to two social media profiles for free, or you can upgrade to a paid plan if you&#8217;d like more features.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to authenticate with your Facebook account. You can skip this step if you&#8217;d rather publish your posts manually. After setting up your smartphone account, you&#8217;ll need to sign in to Hootsuite using your Facebook password. Once you&#8217;re logged in, you&#8217;ll need to grant Hootsuite access to your Facebook profile, as well as your Instagram account.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ItkxlG3H_vU\" width=\"508\" height=\"284\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Instagram Posts From People You Don&#8217;t Want to See Them Do you want to know how to hide Instagram posts from people you don&#8217;t want to see them?
