The Instagram Limits Feature
Because Instagram recognizes combating mistreatment on social media platforms is necessary, it has introduced the Limits feature. While you currently have the ability to block specific Instagram users, the Limits feature lets you manage comments and messages by group rather than individual. With Limits, you can continue to receive comments and messages from your long-term followers and build those relationships, but limit communications from potential spammers and/or new followers. The feature hides limited comments and messages unless you approve them (see below).
Set Limits on Instagram
As mentioned, the Limits feature is available in the Instagram mobile app. As of this writing, it is not available on the Instagram website. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device to get started.
View Limited Comments
You can see the comments from those you’ve limited and then approve or delete the comment or block the user. Those accounts that aren’t following you could be spam or fake accounts, while recent followers are those who started following you in the past week.
View Limited Messages
Like comments you’ve limited, you can see messages you’ve limited as well. By setting limits, you can keep abusive comments and inappropriate messages away and get back to enjoying your Instagram experience.
