Can you hide Instagram notes from some followers? Yes, you can. And, the process is simple and easy.
Instagram notes usually last 24 hours, and people love to write them just to express what they feel.
Sometimes, we do not feel like sharing everything with all our followers and need ways to hide them.
Let’s learn how to hide Instagram notes from certain followers.
Mute Notes from Some Followers on Desktop
- Go to Instagram and sign in to your profile.
- Then, search the profile you want to mute and click the Following tab.
- From the drop-down menu, select Mute.
- Confirm your selection.
- You can also Mute these followers by long-pressing their notes and selecting the mute option.
Mute Notes from Some Followers on the Phone
- Open the Instagram app on your phone.
- Search the profile you want to limit from seeing your notes.
- Go to the Following option and select Mute.
How to Set Controls on Who Sees Your Posts
To control who sees your notes on Instagram, you can follow these steps:
- Create a Close Friends List
Make a list of close friends and share your notes only with them. This way, your notes will be visible only to those you choose.
- Restrict a User
If you want to limit someone's access to your content without blocking them, you can restrict them. This means they won't see your notes or other features on your profile.
- Remove a Follower
If there's someone specific you don't want to see your notes, you can remove them as a follower. This stops them from seeing any of your future notes.
- Block a User
If you want to stop someone from interacting with you completely, you can block them. They won't be able to see your notes or any other content on your profile.
- Mute a User
If you don't want to see someone's notes, you can mute them. This means their notes will not appear in your chat list.
Using these methods, you can manage who sees your notes on Instagram and ensure your content is only visible to the people you want.
