Block Instagram accounts with more control
Blocking is a strong action. The Instagram blocking tool adds review and confirmation before a larger selection can begin.
Type BLOCK to confirm
Bulk blocking requires a clear typed confirmation before the queue can start.
Protect people with Keep
Kept accounts are excluded from selection and checked again immediately before a block.

A successful row changes to Blocked and its destructive controls are disabled.

Best used on a computer
Unfollow Assistant is a desktop Chrome extension, so the interactive preview is only available on a larger screen. Here is what it looks like in the meantime.
When an Instagram block tool is useful
Blocking can help remove spam followers, persistent unwanted contact, obvious bots, or accounts you no longer want to find or interact with your profile. It is stronger than simply unfollowing someone.
A complete scan gives you a structured place to review accounts rather than jumping between profiles. You still make every selection and decide when the Instagram block tool starts.
Block, unfollow, remove, or restrict
Unfollowing stops you from following an account. Removing a follower takes that account off your follower list. Restricting changes how comments and messages are handled. Blocking is the strongest option and limits profile access and interaction according to Instagram's current behavior.
Unfollow Assistant currently provides unfollow and block actions. It does not present remove-follower or restrict as if they were the same action. Choose block only when that stronger result is what you intend.
Safeguards before bulk Instagram blocking
The Instagram blocking tool requires the word BLOCK before a selected run begins. Keep accounts cannot be included, and completed blocked rows are disabled so they are not queued again.
There is no automatic unblock or one-click undo. Review usernames before confirming. If you later change your mind, use the action history to find the profile and manage it through Instagram.
Private, browser-based account management
Blocking requests use the Instagram account already signed in within Chrome. Unfollow Assistant does not ask for your Instagram password or run a remote server that signs into your account.
Keep works locally without an Unfollow Assistant account. Optional sign-in supports backup for protected accounts and successful action history across supported installations.
Should you block or unfollow an Instagram account?
Use the least forceful action that matches what you want to achieve.
| Comparison | Block | Unfollow |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Prevent further profile access and interaction under Instagram's rules | Stop seeing an account in your following list |
| Use for | Spam, harassment, bots, unwanted contact, or privacy cleanup | An account you simply no longer want to follow |
| Strength | A stronger account-level action | A lighter following-list action |
| Undo | Unblock manually through Instagram | Follow the account again manually |
Instagram safety
Pace bulk Instagram blocking carefully
Instagram may restrict repeated block actions. Our conservative recommendation is batches of roughly 30 to 50 with an hour or two between them, and smaller groups for an account that has recently had restrictions. Instagram publishes no guaranteed-safe threshold.
If Instagram displays Try again later or another action warning, stop blocking and unfollowing. Recovery time varies; wait until ordinary Instagram activity works before trying a smaller batch.
