Prevent being added to groups on Instagram
Some Instagram users may add you to private chat groups without your consent. This is a nuisance since it is annoying to be in groups that you do not want to be in and that, in addition, many messages are sent with the corresponding notifications.
We are going to teach you today to mitigate this a bit and we tell you how to prevent people you don't follow from adding you to this type of group chats on Instagram.
How to block being added to Instagram groups:
The process is very simple. We have to take the following steps:
- Access Instagram and click on our profile, which we can find in the bottom menu that appears on the screen.
- Once inside it, we will press the button that appears with 3 horizontal stripes and that we can find in the upper right part of the screen.
- Of the options that we see in the menu, we will select “Settings” .
- Now we will click on the “Privacy” option.
- In the new list of settings we will look for “Messages” and click on it.
- Now click on the option "Who can add you to groups" .
- We select the option "Only the people you follow on Instagram" .
Choose this option to prevent everyone from adding you to a group chat
This way we limit only the people we follow, the users who can add us to a group chat.
If any of the people you follow add you without your consent, it's up to you to talk to them and warn them not to do it again. You can unfollow him, to prevent him from adding you to a group again, or you can restrict him if you don't want to unfollow or block him. If you restrict it, when it adds you to a group, you will receive a request in which you can accept or not, access to that group chat.
