3 Steps to control who can mention you on Instagram comment


Notifications are quite common these days if an Instagram account user is not aware when a stranger tags them in a comment or mentions them in any post.

This can get weird in some cases as the account user can get annoyed when others get to know about the mentions in comments or posts.

To put control over such acts, Instagram provides users their privacy about who can mention them in comments or posts.

"Allow comments from"

1. Everyone - With this option, anyone using Instagram would be able to mention you in their posts and comments unless your Instagram is private.

2. People you follow and your followers - This allows your followers and the accounts you follow on Instagram to mention in comments and posts.

3. People you follow - This option is quite a safe which you can rely on to choose, only people you follow are known people and have little less to worry about as compared to the above two options.

4. Your followers - This option would be risky if the account has a lot more followers and the account user might get irritated by all the tags.
