Does someone know if you delete their Instagram request?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

When it comes to removing a follower on Instagram, the person you remove is not notified that you have taken this action. This means that they won’t receive any notification or message indicating that they are no longer following you. Removing a follower is a discreet action that happens silently.

Similarly, when you delete someone’s Instagram request, they are not notified about it. The person who sent the request will not receive any notification or message informing them that their request has been deleted. This can be useful if you receive unwanted or spammy requests and want to remove them without causing any confrontation or drama.

It’s important to note that removing a follower or deleting a request only affects the relationship between you and that person on Instagram. They will still be able to see your public posts if your account is not private, but they won’t have access to your private posts or updates.

If you want to take further action and completely prevent someone from interacting with you on Instagram, you have the option to block them. Blocking someone on Instagram not only removes them from your followers list but also restricts their access to your profile, posts, and stories. They won’t be able to search for your account or view any of your content, even if your account is public.

It is worth mentioning that blocking someone is a more drastic measure and should be used when you want to completely cut off any interaction with that person. Blocking is useful when dealing with harassment, unwanted attention, or when you simply want to distance yourself from someone on the platform.

Blocking someone cuts off all communication and access to your profile, without notifying the person about it.
