How to Block Bots on Instagram
To block a bot account, visit the bot’s profile and click the three dots on the upper-right corner of the screen. Then, click “block.” This action will block the account and remove it from your followers list. Once blocked, the account can’t find your profile, posts, or Stories, and it can’t follow you again.
Number of Fake Instagram Accounts
Instagram has an estimated 95 million fake accounts, out of a total userbase of around 1 billion. This means roughly 1 in 10 Instagram accounts are fake.
Instagram Story Privacy Settings
If your profile is public, non-followers can see your stories by searching for you and clicking on your story. Keep in mind that the visibility of your story is mainly determined by your privacy settings.
