Do you want to hide the notes from someone on Instagram? Follow the steps inside the guide to know how you can manage your privacy settings better and keep only those notes and more that you want to see. So, let’s get started.
Can we hide notes from someone on Instagram?
Yes, why not? Instagram Notes have a built-in privacy feature that lets you control who sees them. You don’t have to hide them from everyone, and can do so with just some specific people. The key is that Notes follow the same sharing settings as your Instagram Stories, and those things work just the same way. Therefore, when you create a Note, you can choose to share it with your “Close Friends” list or with “Followers you follow back.” You can pick either depending on what you want. By carefully managing who is on your Close Friends list, or by simply unfollowing someone you don’t want to see your Notes, you can hide your Notes from them without blocking them entirely. This just keeps your notes a secret from them, and your posts usually still stay visible until you decide to block them altogether.
Steps to hide notes from someone on Instagram
If you want to hide your notes from someone on Instagram or share them very selectively, then these are the steps that you can follow.
Go to Close Friends Settings
You can manage everything about your notes from this very settings section. So, from your Instagram profile, tap on the three horizontal lines menu in the top corner and then select “Close Friends.”
Make Your List
Review the list of users whom you want to add as close friends. This list determines who is in your private audience for both Stories and Notes, and only those you choose can see those you choose.
Remove the User
If the person you want to hide Notes from is currently on your Close Friends list, tap the “Remove” button next to their name. This will result in the removal of their name from the list, and you will be able to keep just the closest people in the list. Instagram does not notify them when you add or remove them, so you don’t have to think too much.
Post the Note
When you go to post a new Note in your Direct Messages (DM) section, make sure you select the “Close Friends” option at the bottom. Also, remember that if you choose the “Followers you follow back” option for your Note settings, you must unfollow that very person to disqualify them from the criteria to see the Note.
Now your Instagram Note is only visible to the people who are close to you and who you want to see it!
