Instagram is a great way to show off your creative side and connect with people you care about. However, sometimes it can be difficult to keep people out of your story. Here are a few tips to help:
- Hide specific people from seeing your Instagram story if you want them to see only the photos you upload. This will help keep them from getting too close and potentially ruining your image.
- Use filters or other features on your stories to make them less visible. This will help hide people from seeing them and also make it harder for them to get in the way of your creative process.
- Use hashtags in your stories so that people can easily find what you’re sharing if they want to follow you (or vice versa). This will help keep everyone connected and interested in what you’re up to!
Instagram’s Story feature is incredibly popular; it now has more daily users than Snapchat, the app it’s copying. The problem is, unless you have a private Instagram account, anyone, including your mother, can follow you. If you want to post photos from your wild parties to your Instagram Story, but also want to avoid an awkward family dinner, here’s how to block specific people from viewing it.

Open Instagram and head to your profile page and tap the Settings icon in the top right.
Next, tap “Story Settings” and then “Hide Story From”.
You’ll see a list of all your current followers. Find the follower you want to hide your Story from and tap the check box next to their name. Tap Done, and they’ll no longer be able to see your Story.
