What is Soft Blocking?
Soft blocking on Instagram refers to a feature that allows users to restrict certain accounts from interacting with them without directly blocking them. This means that the restricted account can still see the user's posts and profile but cannot engage with them through likes, comments, or direct messages.
- Soft blocking is a less aggressive approach compared to directly blocking someone.
- It helps maintain a level of distance without severing all ties.
