Keep in mind that you can’t block someone from following you or your content. Also, blocking a user doesn’t automatically unfriend them, so if you don’t want a user to see your Check-Ins, remember to remove that user from your friends list.
If you’re receiving unwanted messages from a business owner, you can also block a business owner.
