Instagram is a great way to share photos and videos with friends and family, but it can also be a source of anxiety for some people. If you’re one of those people who worries that everyone you follow on Instagram is going to see every post you make, here are some tips on how to stop people from following you. First, be selective about who you follow on Instagram. Only follow people who you trust and who will add value to your account. If someone follows you without any good reason, simply unfollow them. Second, make sure your posts are interesting and engaging. Don’t just post random photos from your day; try to put together a series or story about what you’re doing or what’s happening in your life. This will keep followers interested and motivated to check out your account regularly. Finally, use hashtags wisely. Not only will this help followers find your posts more easily, but it can also help promote your content across the social media platform. Use relevant hashtags that reflect the topics or interests that are important to you so that others can find it too. ..
Instagram continues to add deeper account management tools, and you’re now able to manually remove followers. This feature was available for users with private accounts for a while, but now it’s available for everyone.
Historically, the only way for users with public profiles to disallow followers was to block them. This is a harsh approach—just because you don’t want someone following you doesn’t mean they have to be blocked.
To remove one of your followers, fire up the Instagram app and head to your own profile. Tap on Followers to see everyone who is following you.
Beside the Follow button there should be a Remove button. Tap on that to disallow that user from following you.
Instagram will have you tap “Remove” again to confirm. Instagram won’t even tell them they were removed. Thanks, IG.
This feature should not be available for everyone across all accounts soon.
