- Enter the contact's name or nickname in the search bar.
- Then go to his profile and click on the unlock button and voila.
Previous restrictions are lifted. The contact will again be able to find you through Instagram search, but they won't see your posts in their feed. Indeed, you are no longer subscribed to each other.
