Here's how it works: when you activate Limits for "Everyone but Close Friends," you'll only see direct messages, mentions, and tags from those on your close friends list. Others can still interact with your public content, but their activity won't be visible to you. They also won't be notified that you've limited them. You can access and review these limited messages and comments at any time.
Limits can be set for up to four weeks at a time, with the option to extend if needed. To activate it, go to your profile, tap the three lines in the top right corner, and select "Limited Interactions." Here you can choose to limit accounts that don't follow you, recent followers, or everyone except your close friends.

Instagram is also making improvements to its "Restrict" feature. Now, you can prevent restricted users from tagging or mentioning you, in addition to hiding their comments. These updates come amid growing concerns about online safety, particularly for younger users. Earlier this year, Instagram and Facebook implemented features to prevent adults from messaging minors by default and to hide potentially harmful content related to suicide and eating disorders.
