It’s an IG option that protects you from unwanted interactions without having to block or unfollow people you know.
Note: The account will not be notified when you include it in “Restricted accounts”
How does it work
- When you apply a constraint, temporarily limit the interaction with an account
- Only you and the restricted account will be able to see the comments that said account makes on your posts
- You can approve comments from said account individually, and they will be visible to everyone.
- Your activity status is hidden
- You will not be able to see when you are connected or if you have read their messages,
