Over the years, social networks are adding a large number of features that users are probably not aware of or are confused by the similarities with other functions of the platform. For example, with regard to Instagram It usually focuses on the repercussions of the process mute, block, and restrict accounts.
Just as the most popular social network today allows users to share content in different ways, whether on Posts, Stories, Reels and IGTV, also makes it easy to limit interactions with unwanted people in three different ways: mute, block and restrictBelow we explain what changes in each of them and how to activate them.
Limitations on blocking, silencing or restricting accounts
Starting with the first one, mute means the “lightest” method of the three to avoid having interactions with that other person on Instagram, since one will avoid seeing all the posts, stories or directly all their content, but The counterparty will not notice it. And the other user will continue to have access to our profile.
In general terms it is a good way to stop watching content that doesn't interest us but without leaving us on bad terms with that other person you know. To activate the mute option you have to press the menu button on one of their posts or long press on one of their stories.
In the case of Blocking is the definitive way to cut all ties with another person permanently.Neither one will be able to see their posts nor they yours, as well as being unable to access your profile, send comments, chat messages or see if you are online.
Finally, The restriction method is an intermediate between the two previously mentioned forms., since from the other account they will be able to continue seeing their publications, although at the time of Comments must be approved by you in order to be visible to others. (if one denies them, they will still see their own responses but will not know that the rest of the users do not read them) while when sending a private message they are sent as requests.
If you want to block or restrict an account, the process is as simple as accessing the profile in question directly, opening the options menu and you will see both features in the drop-down list.
Do you already use any of the three options on Instagram? Has it been useful for you to maintain a healthier environment in your interactions?
