This is a very common question and there is very little answers out there on how you can do this.

In this article though, I’ll be giving you the answer to how you can do this.

As of today, the only way to get people to stop people from following you is by simply blocking them or asking them to unfollow you.

A lot of people think it’s rude to block people just because they don’t want them to follow them and this is understandable. Blocking someone can often be seen as rude and is normally mostly one to bots, spammers, exes or stalkers and not just ordinary people.
