Restriction on Instagram

The restriction is the new feature that is introduced to reduce bullying on Instagram. If a user continuously bulling you on Instagram with negative comments or bullying you through various interaction mediums on Instagram, then restricting them will help you.

Restriction is just like blocking someone from your profile, but it is slightly different. The restriction will hide the restricted user from anywhere on your profile such as posts, reels, videos without getting the person to know that you have restricted them.
