and &#8216;Block&#8217; on Instagram are different. If you restricted someone, they can still find your profile, see your posts, and like things. But their comments on your posts are hidden until you approve them. Unlike blocking someone, they can&#8217;t find you, see your posts, or know what you&#8217;re doing on Instagram. Basically, &#8216;Block&#8217; hides you entirely from them, but &#8216;Restrict&#8217; just limits how they can interact with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_restricted_people_see_your_Instagram_stories\"><\/span>Can restricted people see your Instagram stories?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, people you restricted can still see your Instagram Stories, Reels, and posts. The &#8216;Restrict&#8217; feature doesn&#8217;t stop them from seeing your stuff. It only limits how they can talk to you. All future&nbsp;comments are hidden from others, and their messages go to your requests. But they can still watch your stories and see your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzvoice.com\/blog\/why-cant-i-see-the-comments-on-instagram\/\">Why Can\u2019t I See the Comments on Instagram?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_restricted_users_on_Instagram_see_your_posts\"><\/span>Can restricted users on Instagram see your posts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you restricted anybody on Instagram, they can still see your posts.

The &#8216;Restrict&#8217; feature is for quietly limiting how they interact with you. You can restricted someone and still follow each other.
