To better understand the process, we have included screenshots to illustrate each step. Blocking someone from the home feed is particularly useful when you come across unwanted content or if someone is consistently bothering you.

From the Profile Page

If you prefer to block someone directly from their profile page, follow these steps:

1. Go to the profile page of the person you want to block.

2. Tap on the three-dot menu icon located at the top right corner of the screen.

3. Choose the "Block" option from the menu.

4. Confirm your choice by tapping "Block" again when prompted.

Blocking someone from the profile page is helpful if you encounter a user who consistently engages in inappropriate behavior or if you simply want to limit their access to your content.

From Comments Section

To block someone from the comments section, use the following guide:

1. Navigate to the comments section of a post.

2. Find the comment made by the person you want to block.

3. Tap and hold the comment until a menu appears.

4. Select the "Block" option from the menu.

5. Confirm your decision by tapping "Block" once more.

Blocking someone from the comments section is ideal when you want to prevent someone from leaving offensive or spammy comments on your posts.

From Instagram

If you're using Threads from Instagram and want to block someone, here's what you need to do:

1. Open the Instagram app on your device.

2. Go to the profile page of the person you want to block.

3. Tap on the three-dot menu icon at the top right corner.

4. Choose the "Block" option from the menu.

Blocking someone from Instagram will also block them on Threads, ensuring that you have control over your interactions across both platforms.
