Instagram rolled out a Limits feature that allows users to automatically hide comments and DM requests from specific groups of people if they feel like they’re being targeted or harassed.

This Limits feature allows users to temporarily hide comments and messages from users that aren’t following them, as well as from users who started following them within the past week.

Our guide will show you how to use the Limits feature in the Instagram mobile application.
