That Instagram is one of the social networks that arouse most interest today is something obvious at this point. Part of their popularity is undoubtedly due to the great work they do from Instagram to incorporate new features into their application at a pace of vertigo, which keeps their users hooked and also serves to capture new ones..
One of Instagram's strengths is its 24-hour stories , in which we can include surveys , superzoom , animated gifs or text with a colored background.
It is true that when we have our public profile all the people who follow us can see our activity, but if there is someone who follows you and for some reason you do not want me to see your activity you can do a trick to do so. It is for this reason that in this TechnoWikis tutorial we will explain how to do this from your mobile in the social network of Instagram, both use Android and iPhone ..
1. How to hide activity on Instagram to another Android person
If you have a mobile with Android operating system and want to hide your activity to a specific person, you will have to perform the following process:
Step 1
Enter the profile of the person you do not want to receive notifications and press the icon of the three vertical points that you will find located in the upper right corner of the profile.
Step 2
Now a new pop-up window will appear in which you will see different options to make with that contact. Click on the second option “Blockâ€
Step 3
A warning will appear. It explains what it means to block that contact. Click on "Block"
Step 4
In the next window click on “Accept†and you will be done.
Step 5
Re-enter the user profile and click on the three dots icon and the arrow and then the option "Unlock contact".
Step 6
You will skip two notices like these that you will have to accept and thus you will have gotten the contact to stop following you without him knowing it and therefore you will not be notified of any of the actions you take in this social network.
2. How to hide activity on Instagram to an iPhone person
If your mobile phone is an iPhone, and you want to hide your activity from a specific person, the steps you are going to have to follow are similar and these are going to be the ones we discuss below:
Step 1
Enter the profile of the user to whom you want to hide your activity, and click on the icon of 3 horizontally arranged points that you will find in the upper right corner of the screen.
Step 2
A pop-up window will open on the screen, click on the “Lock†option that appears first highlighted in red.
Step 3
You must click on “Block†again to confirm the action.
Step 4
A message like the following will appear and you must click on "Discard" to continue. This person will no longer be able to see your activity on Instagram.
Step 5
If you want this person to see your activity again, look for their profile and click on the blue “Unlock†button.
n
A pop-up window will appear. Press "Unlock" to confirm the action. Now, to finish, press "Discard" and you will have unlocked this particular person, so now you will be able to see your activity again on Instagram.
Note
The negative effect of this trick is that with this action you also stop following this person and therefore you will not be notified of any of the actions that you carry out within the social network. You will also be able to see your activity as long as your profile is public, or in the case of being private, be your follower.
