How to Block and Unblock Users on Instagram

Is someone stalking your Instagram profile and leaving harassing comments? Do you want to keep your parents, siblings, or exes from seeing your photos? Blocking a user on Instagram will keep them from being able to see or comment on the photos you upload. If you’ve made up with the person, you can unblock them just as easily. Read this guide to learn how in just a few taps of your screen.

Open your Instagram app.
 In order to block an Instagram user, you have to use the buy Instagram followers app. Make sure that you are signed in to your account.
Open the profile of the user that you wish to block or unblock. You can access the user’s profile by tapping on their name in your feed, or by searching for them.
·         You can search for users by tapping the Explore tab at the bottom of the screen. The icon looks like a compass. Enter the username that you want to search for and then tap it in the results list.

Block a user. Tap the Options button in the upper-right corner. This will open a list of options from the bottom of the screen. Tap “Block User” to block that person from your profile. They will no longer be able to view or comment on your photos or profile.
·         You will be asked to confirm, tap “Yes, I’m sure” to continue blocking

Unblock a user. Tap the Options button in the upper-right corner and then tap “Unblock User”. You will be asked to confirm. They will now be able to see and comment on your photos.
Tips
·         If someone's blocked you and you try to access their photos it says "No posts yet" so they're not notified.
·         The blocked user is not notified when they are blocked.
·         If you suspect someone stalking your photos then by blocking them you make sure that they can't have access to your account and your photos as well.
·         It’s always wise to switch on the private photo sharing option for your account so that anyone who wants to see your photos has to send you a friend request first.
·         Blocking and unblocking some user can also be termed as unfollowing and following a user whom you are either following or is being followed by.
·         If you don't want them mentioning you, change your user name
Warnings
·         The blocked user can still be able to see your photos through another account so make sure you turn on the private photo sharing option for your account.
