Tired of your friends and family mentioning you in other Instagram posts? If your answer is “yes” , you do not need to block them, as there is an option that you can access very easily to prevent anyone from mentioning you .
Of course, it is necessary to clarify that this will not prevent you from being tagged in photos and videos , since only the mentions made by other people in the comments will be blocked . In the same way, your name will continue to appear if you are mentioned, what will not be seen will be the link to your profile.
