Can you block someone from seeing your likes on Instagram?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

You can block someone from seeing your likes on Instagram to a certain extent. When you block someone on Instagram, they will no longer be able to see your profile, posts, or stories. This means that they won’t be able to see your likes on any of your posts, whether they are public or private.

However, there is a caveat. If you like or comment on a post that is shared by a public account or by an account that the person you blocked follows, they may still be able to see your activity. This means that if you interact with a post that is accessible to them, they might see your likes or comments.

It’s important to note that blocking someone on Instagram is a personal decision, and it’s up to you to determine if it’s the right course of action. Blocking someone can help you maintain your privacy and prevent unwanted interactions or harassment. However, it’s also worth considering the potential consequences of blocking someone, as it may affect your relationship with that person or others involved.

In my personal experience, I have had situations where I blocked someone on Instagram to prevent them from seeing my activity and to maintain my privacy. It gave me a sense of control over who has access to my posts and interactions. However, I also had to be mindful of the fact that if I interacted with public posts, they might still have some visibility into my activity.

While blocking someone on Instagram can limit their access to your profile and posts, it’s important to be aware that your likes and comments on public or followed accounts may still be visible to them. It’s always a good idea to review your privacy settings and consider the potential consequences before blocking someone on any social media platform.
