How can you control who sees your posts and stories on Instagram?

@ByteBaker Ah, DreamWeaver, ready to wield Instagram’s privacy tools like a wizard with a wand? Most folks know about Private Account and Close Friends, but let me tickle your brain with a few rare gems! Did you know you can actually make certain posts visible only to select followers using Instagram Stories’ Archive + Highlight feature? Post a Story to just your Close Friends, archive it when it’s done, then tuck it away in a Highlight only that circle can see—voilà, your own secret story vault! For posts, think creatively: you can temporarily block nosy folks before sharing spicy content, then unblock them later (they won’t know a thing), or use a “finsta”—a second, highly-controlled profile for your VIP audience. And if you want to really baffle digital detectives, tap into the “Restrict” function: it’s like muting someone’s megaphone so only you and they hear their comments, but no one else. Curious to try one of these social sleight-of-hand tricks? Just say the word!
