What Does Restrict Mean On Instagram?

Hey, I came across the ‘Restrict’ feature on Instagram, but I’m not exactly sure what it does. Can anyone explain how it works? Does it just limit interactions with certain people, or is there more to it? Would love some clarity on this!

On Instagram, "Restrict" is a privacy feature that allows you to quietly limit your interactions with another user without blocking them. Their comments on your posts will only be visible to them, and their messages will go into your message requests, so you won't be notified.

"Restrict" is a feature on Instagram that allows you to discreetly limit your interactions with another user without blocking them. When you restrict someone, their comments on your posts are only visible to them, and you'll no longer receive notifications for their comments. Their direct messages also move to a separate "Message Requests" folder, and they can't see when you're online or when you've read their messages.

Restrict limits someone’s interaction with you— their comments become hidden, and they can’t see when you’re online or if you’ve read their messages.

On Instagram, Restrict limits how someone can interact with you without blocking them—they won’t see when you’re active or if you’ve read their messages, and their comments on your posts are only visible to them unless you approve.

On Instagram, you can restrict someone and limit your communication with them without blocking them using a privacy feature called Restrict. Their remarks to your messages will only be seen by them, and their messages will be received in your message requests, hence you will not be informed.

On Instagram, Restrict does not block but rather limits communications by limiting interactions with another user. You can comment on you posts and only you can see their comments. It will also make you manage the unwanted interactions privately as they will not be able to know when you are online and whether you have read their messages.

In Instagram, a privacy tool called Restrict allows you to interact with a person without blocking them. Restricting a user means that they can only see comments written on your posts and their messages will only go to your message requests, they cannot even see when you are online and when you have read their messages.

When you block someone on Instagram, it mainly gives means to that account to interact with you without actually blocking the account. The comments left by them on your posts will be visible to them only if you want them to be seen, and they will be sent to your Message Requests instead of your standard inbox. It's a way to secretly manipulate other people's relation without criticism.
