What Happens When You Restrict Someone on Instagram?
welcome to my youtube channel,i'm going to answer a question that i,was recently asked by an instagrammer,what happens when you restrict someone,on instagram,the restrict feature on instagram is an,excellent one designed to reduce,bullying and harassment on the platform,in my opinion it's one of the best new,features in its most basic form,restricting an account on instagram is,basically like blocking but without,making it super obvious,when you block someone on instagram they,won't know about it,instagram won't tell them that you have,blocked them,if they interact with your account,fairly regularly however it won't take,them long to figure out that they have,been blocked by you,when they search for your profile it,doesn't come up i have blocked myself,here as you can see when i search for,the username instagram tells me that,there are no results,if you have previously sent the now,blocked account messages and they,attempt to click on your profile via a,message instagram tells them that the,profile has not been found or something,similar,your account has basically disappeared,to them,but when they use an internet browser to,search for you without being signed in,on any instagram account or while,they're signed in on another instagram,account they can see your account,i'm not signed into instagram on my,browser here but when i type in the,exact link to the instagram account that,i've been blocked by i can see their,content and entire profile page without,any worries,that's when the person you have blocked,realizes that you've blocked them,i've learned that people have blocked me,in that way and other people have,learned that i've blocked them in that,way,although instagram doesn't tell the,other person that you're blocking him,the app might as well shout it from the,rooftops,it's very obvious,restricting accounts is a bit like,blocking but it's the stealth version of,it,the approach is more subtle the person,you have chosen to restrict will be less,aware of your actions than if you were,to have blocked them,it is a lot more difficult to work out,that you have been restricted than it is,to work out you've been blocked,just as with blocking instagram won't,tell the person you have restricted that,you have restricted them,when you restrict someone on instagram,this is what the app tells you,only you and the person you've,restricted can see their new comments on,your posts as well as their replies to,stickers in your stories,their chat is now in your message,requests you can unrestrict them from,your profile,they can still see the content on your,profile page they can still see how many,followers you have how many people,you're following and who those people,are,they can also still see your stories,reels and bio information,if they try to engage with your content,such as commenting on it or liking it,they can do so without any problems,you won't see the engagement once you've,restricted them however and neither will,anyone else,the restricted account will be able to,engage with your content as they usually,would but you and everyone else will be,none the wiser,you can choose to make their comments,one or all of them public so they can,then be viewed by you and everyone else,but unless you do that the comments will,be hidden from view,the same can be said for your instagram,stories only you and the person you have,restricted will be able to see the,replies,it will be as though you've blocked him,except you haven't,it's not just comments that instagram,will hide for you when you restrict,someone messages are also affected,you will still receive messages from a,restricted account but they go into a,different folder than regular messages,and you won't get a notification of the,message either,instead of going into your primary or,general message folder they will go into,the message request folder,i did not get a notification for the,message sent from this restricted,account,i wasn't even aware that i had a message,until i went into messages box and then,saw that i had one request,the writing is in blue when there are no,requests the word request is in black,if i go into the messages instagram,reminds me that i have restricted the,account,and as you can see instagram also says,they can't see when you're online or,when you've read their messages,the person you have restricted won't see,when you have read the message nor will,they be able to see when you are online,unless you take an action they won't,know whether or not you are even aware a,message has been sent,and even then they will only really be,aware if you respond to them or block,them,this works both ways you won't be able,to see when the restricted account is,online nor will you be able to see when,and if they read messages you've sent to,them,you'll need to unrestrict the account in,order to message back or you can delete,the message and never worry about it,again or block the account,in conclusion,at the end of the day blocking and,restricting accounts on in

Restrict Vs Block on Instagram | What Does It Mean? 2022
Restrict Vs Block on Instagram | What Does It Mean? 2022
so your safety on instagram is actually,a huge priority for instagram and,because of that they've given you tools,to restrict people's access to your,account so if there's someone who's,giving you trouble maybe they're,harassing you or you just don't want,them seeing your content you do have,some options to restrict the level of,access that they have to you and your,instagram page and those two options are,restrict and block and in this video,what we're going to do is walk through,the differences between restricting,someone versus blocking them explaining,what each of them means and then how you,can go about doing it so if there's,someone who's currently impacting your,use of instagram and you want to limit,their access to you we're going to help,you find the right choice between,restrict and block and then help you do,it so let's get right into it what's,going on it's ben here from flick the,destination for instagram domination as,well as instagram safety and that's what,we're covering in this video the,difference is between restrict versus,block and then how to do both of them,and then which one is best for which,situation so let's start off with,restrict what does restrict mean on,instagram when you restrict someone on,instagram it means that you are,restricting them from seeing certain,parts of your profile or from,interacting with you in certain ways,restricting is different from blocking,because users are still able to view,your profile follow you and have you as,a follower so restrict may be the right,option for someone that you just want to,limit their access to you but not block,them entirely so i already know your,next question how do i go about,restricting somebody on instagram first,you'll want to log into your account and,go to the profile of the user you'd like,to restrict next click on the three dots,icon and then select restrict you can,also restrict someone through the,settings option on your profile navigate,to settings then select privacy then,select restricted accounts search for,the profile you'd like to restrict and,then select this option and either,method will achieve the same result so,if you do want to restrict someone but,you're worried about what they may think,don't stress because the other user will,not be notified instagram does not tell,them that they've been restricted,however you will now be able to restrict,them from doing certain actions on your,profile the first is commenting and,technically they'll still be able to,comment on your content but it won't be,shown to the public only you and the,other user that you've restricted will,see the comment secondly you'll restrict,the visibility of your activity so,although your profile will look,completely normal to the person that,you've restricted they will not be able,to see when you're online like some of,your other friends can plus if they were,to send you a dm their dm would go to,message requests rather than your,primary inbox and these tools are,extremely useful if you're a public,figure or a brand because if you want to,eliminate any negative or hate comments,that may come your way the restrict,functionality is a great way to do that,especially because it doesn't cause too,much upset because the user won't even,know that they've been restricted so,it's a great way to quiet the haters to,the public without them being notified,and triggering them even further so how,do you tell if someone has restricted,you so to find out if you're blocked,it's pretty easy because if you go to,try to find their profile it just simply,won't exist and you won't be able to see,it but finding out if you're restricted,is a little more complicated so if you,think that you may be restricted from,somebody else here's some potential ways,to figure that out if you have dm,history with them from the past if you,go into your inbox you should be able to,see the last time that they were online,if you can't see that at all there's a,possibility that you've been restricted,from this user if you're not restricted,you'd also be sent red receipts when the,other person views your dm so if you're,not seeing those there's also potential,that you've been restricted so that's,everything you need to know about the,restricted feature how to use it and,what it actually means now let's move on,to blocking on instagram so first of all,how do you block someone so if someone's,really getting to you or they're just,going way too far and you feel like,restricting them just isn't enough it,doesn't send the message you're trying,to you can go ahead and fully block,someone which will mean you essentially,completely disappear from that profile,on instagram you'll still show up as,normal across every other page but for,that person in particular you won't,exist the user won't be able to search,for or find your profile and you will be,removed from their following as well as,followers and here's how you go about,blocking someone first go to the,person's profile that you'd like to,

How to know if someone has RESTRICTED you on Instagram
How to know if someone has RESTRICTED you on Instagram
what up it's your girl andy hanses,and today we're going to get into the,subject of,how do you know if someone has,restricted you on instagram,okay so,don't forget to like subscribe and here,we go,okay so when it comes down to being,restricted on instagram,it's kind of similar to,being blocked but,you're kind of blocked in a polite way,in a way where you won't even know it,it's more like um communication is,blocked right so if someone doesn't want,to really hear from you anymore they'll,go ahead and restrict you,now with being restricted,you're still able to see their stories,see their page,and you're also still able to comment,and you're still able to actually send,messages,okay,so those things can still happen so it's,kind of like you don't know that you're,restricted,so with getting into it um,basically there are some things that,happen when you're restricted though so,if you attempt to send a message to,someone who has restricted you,your message will still go through it'll,go to them but it will not go into their,main inbox,they will not get,an actual notification,saying that,they have a new message you know on,instagram where you look at that little,symbol it's a message symbol and you'll,see like a like a orange one or so,what have you,um,and if you send them a message they,don't see that,so or if they have other messages like,of course you know they'll be notified,from people from people they haven't,restricted obviously but your message,goes to a different inbox it goes to,something called a request box,so,um,now people want to ask a question how do,i know if i'm restricted,like how,how can i find that out,and,there's definitely a way of finding out,oh but also let me say this as well when,it comes to being say somebody who,should get you right,saying comment on their photo,um comment on your post photo,and,your,comment will still post that's no,problem,however,you can see your comment,and you know whoever that person ever,searches you they can see your comment,but they're not notified that you,commented they would actually have to go,to,that photo,and see if see if you've,said anything right and another thing,too is that i know i'm an iphone user,i'm not sure how this works with droid,as far as like what it would say but,it's similar things that would happen i,do know on the iphone um,if basically say i restricted somebody,they comment on my stuff,i'll go to that picture just let's just,say i don't know where i went to that,picture,basically i'll see where you commented,but i won't see what you said it'll say,restrict a comment and of course i'll,tap on it and then it'll say approve or,deny and that's when i see what you said,but,that comment that you left is strictly,going to be between you and that person,okay so,now if say another user is looking at,that same photo that other user will not,see,your comment whatsoever,they won't see,they won't see,it so now getting into finding out if,someone has restricted you the reason i,say it's tricky is because this solely,depends,on,the visibility of their profile if their,profile is private,you would literally,okay let me say this it's best that two,accounts,two accounts,you have your main profile then you have,another account,now obviously if this person's page is,private and you have another account and,that account is in your name other,pictures what have you,um,you have to add them they let them,accept the request for you know you to,get into that page and obviously they,wouldn't be doing that so you would have,to use maybe a friend,like and that's going to be kind of hard,because friends will be like what you,want me to add them what,what are you doing,so that's why sometimes there is no only,way to really find out if their account,is private um literally you the only way,you would find out is if you send them a,message and that message,in the inbox is sent you don't see scene,it says sent and let's say this is sent,for a very long time,it only time will tell,and that also is solely based off of the,communication between you and that,person like if they were all if you send,them a message and they always reply,back,then basically um,there's a you you have now you you get,the behavior but you see the behavior,change when you see that message says,sent for a very long time,okay,sometimes you just think they're busy,you just think they're then you notice,this has went on for a very long time um,okay,um so now if their page is public good,news if you got two accounts,if you got two accounts,you can you can definitely do some,researching here you can you can try,some things,so,it's recently just happened to me,unfortunately um,yeah i can't even get into it it's not,really that bad i'm not a bad person or,anything like that um just because i'm,gonna trigger you doesn't,mean you're a bad person,but however um someone has restricted me,right so i had to actually,not that i had to but i wanted to find,out,so i,actually have two accounts i have a main,instagr

How to Break Your Social Media Addiction
How to Break Your Social Media Addiction
The famous management consultant,,Peter Drucker, once said, "Tell me,"what you value, and I might believe you,,"but show me your calendar and,"your bank statement, and I'll show,"you what you really value.",And it's true.,While I might say that I value truth,,justice, and always eating my spinach,,a detailed look into those two troves,of information would yield
quite different answers.,Digging into my bank statements
would reveal an enormous,amount of money spent of coffee,,and wooden gnomes from eBay, and a look,at my calendar, not my Google calendar,,but an actual real-time log of,my life's events, if such
a thing were possible,to build, would shed
light upon way more time,than I care to admit, spent
scrolling through Instagram,,and Twitter, and other social media apps.,And I would bet that if we were,to look at your calendar, we would see,something similar, if not worse.,Comparisons aside, though, I think,it is safe to say that most of us,,myself included, spend more of,our time and attention than we would like,to on these apps, if we were to look,at our lives from a more
rational birds-eye view.,And that is why, today, I wanna give,you some tips for breaking
your social media addiction.,Whether you actually call it an addiction,,or whether you're in denial.,Now, as astute and long-time viewers,of this channel may know, I am a big fan,of the author Kyle Newport, especially,his book Deep Work, which,actually has a chapter
called Quit Social Media.,Given that fact, you may be surprised,to know that I'm not gonna
recommend quitting social media,in this video.,At least, not right up front, and,that's because I'm an advocate,of moderation, and I also recognize,that social media can
bring a lot of benefits,,but along with those
benefits come drawbacks,,and as the ex-Facebook data scientist,,Jeffrey Hammerbacher once said,,"The best minds of my
generation are thinking,"about how to make people click ads.",And of course, to make you click,those ads, those minds also have,to think about how to keep you,on their platforms for
as long as possible,,which means that, at the very least,,these things are meticulously engineered,to be huge time-sinks, but that isn't the,only criticism you can level against them.,They also can make you
a less happy person,,as repeated research has shown.,When you're spending a ton of
your time scrolling through,these feeds of meticulously crafted posts,that show the highlights
of people's lives,,including people that you probably know,in real life, and you're comparing them,,sometimes subconsciously,
to your own life,,the entire thing, warts and all,,you can start to make comparisons,that really put a damper
on your happiness.,So the question is, how do you use,these tools, and treat them like tools,,to get their benefits, while
avoiding the drawbacks.,Let's start off with something,that is very easy to do,
kill your notifications.,Notifications are like that ringing bell,that made Pavlov's dogs salivate,,only instead of giving you food,,they deliver a quick dopamine rush,in the form of a new comment, or DM,,or post from someone else.,Now, there is nothing wrong with checking,these posts, or answering your DMs,,but when you look at them in response,to a notification, you
are establishing a habit,,you are establishing a craving,,and when those notifications come,,in the future, you're going,to have fewer mental
defenses for avoiding them.,And the problem, here, is that,these notifications have no respect,for your time, or the fact that,you need long, uninterrupted periods,of concentration to
actually get your work done.,So go into your phone's
notification settings,,for each and every social media app,that you have, and destroy
those notifications.,Secondly, I'm going to suggest,that you redesign your phone's home screen,to remove all social media apps from it,,and this is something that
I actually did recently.,You may have seen the video that,I put out just a couple of months ago,,on my iPhone home screen, but even,that home screen layout
has now gone the way,of the dodo, because it had
social media apps on there.,I think Twitter was on there,
and Instagram was on there.,And at the time, I kind of justified it,,because, as a content creator,,I use those platforms for my work.,But I am also a consumer,
on those platforms,,and more often than I liked, I found,myself scrolling through them,,wasting my time, so I just got them,entirely off my home screen.,I created an entire second page,of apps on my phone, and I buried all,those social media apps inside of folders.,So if I wanna go to one,
I have to look for it.,It's a very intentional thing.,Now, if you are on an iPhone, like me,,there is one thing you have to do,,beyond just shoving
those apps into folders,,You have to actually turn
off Siri's suggestions,,as well, because, in my case, when,I would swipe down to
search for a different app,that wasn't on my home screen,,I would always see Instagram
and Twitter sitting,there, which is basi
