Some clarifications<\/h2>\n

\"Some<\/a><\/p>\n

Before giving you any explanation of the case, you have to make some clarifications.\u00a0Since there is no ad hoc function that allows you to hide the people you follow on Instagram, in order to succeed in your intent, you must necessarily make your own\u00a0account<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0block users<\/strong>\u00a0whom you want to inaccessible.<\/p>\n

In the first case, that is, if you decide to make your own private profile, this will also imply that the contents of your account, followers and followers can only be viewed by those you approve yourself.\u00a0Keep in mind, however, that your current followers will not be affected by such changes, so if you want a user who is already following you to be unable to see the list of people you follow, you will have to remove this from the list of the followers.\u00a0The changes made will have an immediate effect.<\/p>\n

In the second case, that is, if you decide to block a person on Instagram, not only will this person no longer see those who follow on the social network, but will not even be able to find and view your profile, photos, videos and your comments.\u00a0Even then, the changes made will be applied instantly.<\/p>\n

Choosing which of the two systems to use is therefore up to you, depending on what your real needs and preferences are.\u00a0However, these are reversible actions so if you decide to make your account private or block a user, this will keep you from thinking about it and doing the reverse procedure to cancel your choice.<\/p>\n

Hide who I follow on Instagram from smartphones<\/h2>\n

Are you wondering “how do I hide who I follow on Instagram?” And you want to understand how to do everything from Android smartphones or from iPhone going to make your own account?\u00a0Then start to grab your device and access the screen where all applications are grouped and then click on the Instagram app icon.<\/p>\n

Now, click on the icon of the\u00a0man<\/strong>\u00a0in the bottom right to access the section of the application dedicated to your profile, step on the button with the\u00a0gear<\/strong>\u00a0on the top right and scroll through the displayed screen until you find the\u00a0Private Accounting<\/strong>\u00a0that you find at the\u00a0Account<\/strong>\u00a0section\u00a0then takes\u00a0ON<\/strong>\u00a0its account and is done.<\/p>\n

Now, if you want someone who follows you to be able to view the full list of people you follow, you’ll need to do this: go to your profile (by touching the symbol of the\u00a0man<\/strong>\u00a0in the bottom of right of Instagram app), follow the list of upcoming\u00a0followers<\/strong>\u00a0looking for the user you want to go to (using the appropriate field or scrolling through the available list), tap on the button\u00a0(…)<\/strong>\u00a0next to its name and choose the\u00a0Remove<\/strong>\u00a0option\u00a0from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n

If you change your mind, simply bring to you again in the Instagram dedicated to your profile section (so pressing on the symbol of the ‘\u00a0little man<\/strong>\u00a0at the bottom right), press the button with the’\u00a0gear<\/strong>\u00a0, bring on\u00a0OFF<\/strong>\u00a0the switch located next to the item\u00a0Private account<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0Account<\/strong>\u00a0section\u00a0and confirm your choice by clicking on the\u00a0Ok<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0in response to the notice you see on screen.<\/p>\n

If you want to find out how to hide the people you are going to block a user (or more than one), what you need to do is to go to the user profile first through the Instagram feed (by clicking on his name you find on one of its posts) or by tapping the button with the\u00a0magnifying glass<\/strong>\u00a0at the bottom of the app screen, type the user name “innocent” and select it from the suggestions you see appear.<\/p>\n

Next you have to tap on the button\u00a0(…)<\/strong>\u00a0in the upper right and choose the\u00a0Block <\/strong>option\u00a0from the menu that appears.\u00a0Confirmation then what was done by tapping\u00a0You can confirm<\/strong>\u00a0(on Android) or\u00a0Block<\/strong>\u00a0(on iOS), in response appeared on the screen and then stop on\u00a0Ignore<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

If ritenessi then you should cancel the block by going in the section dedicated to your profile app (so pressing on the symbol of the ‘\u00a0little man<\/strong>\u00a0at the bottom right), by tapping on the button with the’\u00a0gear<\/strong>\u00a0, pressing on the entry\u00a0Blocked Users<\/strong>\u00a0, by selecting the ‘ referencing user, tap on the button\u00a0(…)<\/strong>\u00a0at the top right and choose\u00a0Unlock<\/strong>\u00a0from the menu that appears.\u00a0Confirmation then carrying out the operation of plugging\u00a0It confirm<\/strong>\u00a0(on Android) or\u00a0Unlock<\/strong>\u00a0(on iOS) and subsequently on\u00a0Ignore<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0and if you want to follow the person again in these taping on the top button.<\/p>\n

Hide who I follow on Instagram from computer<\/h2>\n

If you use a PC with Windows 10 installed and you are wondering “how to hide who I’m following on Instagram” using the official computer service app, the first crucial step you have to do is to start it by searching it in the\u00a0menu Star<\/strong>\u00a0t or by pressing the\u00a0magnifying glass \/ search field<\/strong>\u00a0on the taskbar, typing\u00a0\u00a0instagram<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0and selecting the first result in the list.<\/p>\n

Now, click on the\u00a0mouse<\/strong>\u00a0icon\u00a0located at the bottom right of the application window, select the button with the top\u00a0gear<\/strong>\u00a0symbol\u00a0(always on the right) and turn\u00a0ON<\/strong>\u00a0the switch that you find it in the ”\u00a0Private\u00a0<\/strong>Account”<\/strong>\u00a0section of the\u00a0Account <\/strong>section\u00a0on the left.\u00a0You can not<\/em>\u00a0!<\/p>\n

At this point, went back into the section of the app to your profile (you can do this by clicking on the icon of the ‘\u00a0little man<\/strong>\u00a0who is in the lower right corner of Instagram), click on the item window\u00a0followers<\/strong>\u00a0up, identifies the user that you no longer want to follow you from the available list or look for it by name using the appropriate toolbar, click on the\u00a0corresponding\u00a0button\u00a0(…)<\/strong>\u00a0and choose\u00a0Remove <\/strong>from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n

If I were to think about it then you can always cancel when done simply by going back to the application section dedicated to your profile (so clicking on the icon of the ‘\u00a0little man<\/strong>\u00a0in the lower right corner of the app window), clicking the button with the ‘\u00a0Gear<\/strong>\u00a0at the top right and turning\u00a0OFF<\/strong>\u00a0the switch located next to the\u00a0Private Account<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0Account<\/strong>\u00a0section\u00a0on the left.\u00a0Then click on the\u00a0OK button<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0response\u00a0to the warning you see appearing on the screen to confirm your choice.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to hide who follow on Instagram to specific users by going to block, the first thing you need to do is to bring to you in the application feeds (you can access it by clicking the icon of the\u00a0little house<\/strong>\u00a0that you find at the bottom left of the window ‘app) and select the name of the referral person you find on one of his posts.\u00a0Alternatively, click the\u00a0magnifying glass<\/strong>\u00a0symbol\u00a0at the bottom of the application window and go to the profile of the person to be blocked by pressing in the\u00a0Search Top<\/strong>\u00a0field\u00a0, typing their name and selecting the relevant suggestion.<\/p>\n

Now, click on the button\u00a0(…)<\/strong>\u00a0that you find in the upper right part of the app window, select the\u00a0Block<\/strong>\u00a0option\u00a0from the menu that appears and click on the\u00a0Block<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Respond to button\u00a0that appears on screen to confirm your choice made.<\/p>\n

If I were to think about it then, simply access your profile settings by clicking on the symbol of the ‘\u00a0little man<\/strong>\u00a0in the lower right corner of the application window, then clicking the button with the’\u00a0gear<\/strong>\u00a0, click on the item\u00a0Blocked Users<\/strong>\u00a0present on the left selection the reference user name from the list displayed and choose\u00a0Unlock<\/strong>\u00a0from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n

Then confirm the choice made by clicking on the\u00a0Unlock<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0in response to the alert you see on screen and if you feel it appropriate, follow the selected user again by clicking the\u00a0Follow<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0at the top.<\/p>\n

Hide who I follow on Instagram from the Web<\/h2>\n

As far as Instagram is concerned with the Web, unfortunately, it is not possible to activate from here the feature that allows you to make the account private (so if you are interested in doing so, you must act as smartphone or computer, as seen in the previous rows) but the only thing you can do to prevent certain users from viewing the list of people that follow is to block them.<\/p>\n

To do so, log in to your Instagram account via the browser by linking to\u00a0the login page<\/a>\u00a0, identify the user you want to block in the feed and click on his or her name on one of his posts to view the profile or search for it ‘right bar at the top and select the relevant suggestion from the ones that are offered to you then click on the button\u00a0(…)<\/strong>\u00a0that is in the top right and choose\u00a0Block this user<\/strong>\u00a0from the menu that appears.\u00a0Done!<\/p>\n

If you think about it, you’ll be able to go back to your steps at any time, but for the sake of things, you will need to intervene from the smartphone or tablet app or computer as I explained a few lines up.\u00a0From the Web, in fact, Instagram does not offer the ability to unlock users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
