New challenge only for attentive minds: who is the impostor?
Now that your account is private, you have full control over who can follow you. When someone wants to follow you, you will receive a request that you can accept or decline.
To remove current followers, go to your follower list, tap the user's name and select “Remove”. That simple!
Another important aspect of privacy is controlling who can tag or mention you in posts. In the Privacy menu, you will find options to manage this. You can choose whether everyone, just your followers, or no one can tag or mention you.
Your stories also follow your account's privacy settings. However, if you want more control, you can hide your stories from certain followers.
To do this, go to “Settings”, then “Privacy” and “History”. There, you can select who can see your stories and even allow replies from followers only.
When your account is private, only your followers can send direct messages. This helps limit unwanted contact and keeps your inbox more organized.
If you wish, you can disable comments on your posts to avoid unwanted interactions. On each post, there is an option to disable comments. Plus, you have control over who can respond to your Stories and Reels.
Making your Instagram private is an effective way to control who sees and interacts with your content. With these settings, you can create a safer, more comfortable space to share your experiences and special moments.
Remember that your online privacy is important and Instagram gives you the tools you need to protect it. Now, enjoy your journey on the social network with more peace of mind and control!
