Blocking an Instagram user means they won’t be able to locate your profile, posts, or Instagram story. They won’t be notified that you blocked them, but they can find out with a little detective work. While they can mention your username in their posts, these mentions aren’t displayed in your Activity stream. Here’s how to block another user.

Open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android device.

Find and load the profile of the user account you want to block.

To find the account, use the search function or tap the account’s username from anywhere in the Instagram app, including your list of followers.

Tap Menu (three dots), located in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Tap Block.

A confirmation box explains what happens when you block the account. Tap Block to proceed.

You’ll see a message that the account is blocked. Tap Dismiss to finish the process.

To unblock the account, return to its page, tap the menu button, and then select Unblock.

How to Block Someone Using a Web Browser

If you don’t have the app available or use a platform that doesn’t support it, you can block someone from the Instagram website.

Open a browser, navigate to the Instagram website, and find and load the profile of the user or account you want to block.

Tap Menu (three dots), located in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Select Block this user from the pop-up menu.

Select Block to confirm.

Select Dismiss to complete the process.

To unblock the account, return to its page and select Unblock.
