Want to be notified when one of your favorite Instagram accounts posts?
Or want to stop receiving Instagram push notifications?
Here is:
Let’s start.
To turn on notifications ON Instagram for someone’s account:
You will receive a push notification when the person posts on their feed, Instagram Stories, IGTV or goes Live.
Unfortunately Instagram doesn’t have a feature at the moment (August 2021) to turn on post notifications on Instagram for a specific person.
You need to turn on the notifications from your phone (iPhone or Android).
I suspect that the post notification setting on laptop will be here (if they ever introduce it):
What if you don’t want to receive post notifications anymore?
Here is how to turn OFF post notifications:
Done.
Push notifications are notifications that appear on your phone, when you are not using Instagram. They appear on your phone’s lock screen, notification center or as a pop-up banner when you are doing something else on your phone.
Don’t want to receive these Instagram push notifications on your phone?
Or maybe you turned them off and don’t know how to turn them on again?
There are 2 ways to do it:
Option 1: In your phone settings
Option 2: In your Instagram settings
Instagram has a setting inside the app to turn off push notifications.

The more notifications you get, the more useless they are.
When they appear every 5 minutes, they become annoying, or you ignore them. This guide is for those who are tired of the push messages coming from the app. Let’s see how to turn off push messages from Instagram, all or some of them.
If you don’t want to get any push messages from Instagram, turn the notifications off. You can do it in the phone settings or the app settings. In the first case, the messages won't come through on the device. In the second — they won't come on any device for this account.
Both Android and iOS allow you to turn off all push notifications for an app. Instagram is not an exception. The push messages about new posts, Stories, likes, other updates and activity in all your accounts won’t come through until you turn them on back.
Go to the settings on your Android to turn off Instagram notifications.

Here you can also restrict the push messages, if you don’t want to turn them off for Instagram completely. Let’s see what you can disable.
01. Activate Show silently to mute Instagram notifications.
02. Tap On the lock screen to set Instagram notifications on the lock screen. Choose Don’t show notifications at all to turn them off.
03. The Override Do Not Disturb feature should be not active if you want to stop Instagram notifications in the Not Disturb mode.
Open settings on your iOS to turn off Instagram notifications.
On iOS you can restrict the push messages instead of disabling them completely.
In the Instagram settings, you can turn off all notifications at once. But only for the time from 15 minutes to 8 hours. During this time you won't get the messages from the app about new posts or likes, and other updates or users activity. After this time they start to come through again.
Go to your profile page to disable all push messages from Instagram.
From your profile page, you can turn off Instagram notifications you don’t need. You can stop the app informing you about new posts, Stories, or Live videos. There are also settings to mute the push messages about new likes, comments, followers and some other. All they are set in the same Notifications section.
Here is how you can get to the notification settings in the Instagram app:
In the Notifications section, you see the section for setting specific push messages.
Tip: you can disable all IG push messages for more than 8 hours by turning them off in each of the sections separately.
In the opened settings, you choose which Instagram notifications to turn off. You can disable suggested accounts or live push messages, or any other. Open a sections and put a tick opposite to Off in each of the updates you don’t need.
For example, if you don’t need notification about new likes on Instagram, put the ticks in the Posts, Stories and Comments sections to turn off Instagram notifications.
After that, the messages about updates won't come through neither when you are in the Instagram app, nor when you close it.
Tip: turn off your active status on Instagram to avoid getting Direct Messages notifications. Users won't see you are online and won't text you.
So you can scroll the feed without being distracted.
Instagram separated the notifications sent to your email, and informing about new products in the accounts you follow.
To turn off Instagram notifications in these sections, make the buttons not active by tapping them.
You can turn on and off notifications about a user’s new content. Thus, you can mute the messages from Instagram about their new posts, Stories, Lives. You do it from their profile page.
A couple of words about Live videos. You disable all the notifications about them by tapping Turn Off Notifications. Tap Get Some Notifications to allow only the messages about Lives you may be interested in.
But bear in mind, it is Instagram who decides whether a Live is interesting to you.
If you run an account for your business, you are more likely to be interested in notifications about orders and payments, than in a new neighbor's photo. You already know how to turn off Instagram notifications about a particular user's updates. To turn on business notifications, install the Notifications add-on on Taplink. You will get instant notification about new leads and accepted payments. Start now.
This part is for those who have several accounts on Instagram. You can adjust notifications for each of them. For example, when you go home, you may want to turn off notifications in your second Instagram account that you use for work.
By default, you get the update messages from all your IG accounts you are authorized in. When you restrict notifications in your phone settings, you don’t get the messages about updates from any of them.
Use the Instagram app settings if you need to turn off Instagram notifications in some of your accounts.
Follow the instructions we wrote above to set them for each account.
Switch to the profile you want to set. Go to the Notifications section.
If you have the notifications about the user’s updates turned on in other Instagram accounts, you will still get them.
Use a browser if you want to turn off Instagram notifications from a computer, or can’t get into the app from your phone for some reason.
From a computer web browser, you can also turn off Instagram notifications which are sent to you by mail. Go to the Email and SMS to set them.
Even when you turn off all push messages from Instagram, you still can find the updates in your account. They are displayed in the Activity feed. All that can or could come through as a push notification is shown here.
Remember, IG notifications from the Email and SMS section do not come as push messages. You won't see them in this tab.
Open the tab with a heart icon to get to the Activity feed.
What you haven’t seen is displayed in the New section at the top.
There is the Follow Request section in Private accounts. It appears when someone subscribes to you.
You can turn off Instagram notifications in the settings if the push messages are getting on your nerves.
No need to unfollow users. You can choose the notifications you will receive and those you won't.
The updates history is always there in the Activity feed tab to fill you in. They always get in this tab regardless of the allowed push notifications. So don't worry you will miss something if you turn off Instagram notifications.
The messages about new products, features, as well as replies from Instagram support team are sent to your mail. You can disable them, but we don't recommend it, you may miss an important notification if you do. For example, when someone tries to hack into your account, you know it and react timely with the turned on notifications.
If your account is hacked, contact Instagram help. Read how to do it in the article.

First you need to go to the settings of the mobile device. There, select "Notifications".
The entire list of programs that are installed on the device will open. The user must find Instagram and tap on the button in front of it.
It should become inactive. Then Instagram notifications will stop coming to the phone.
Turning notifications on or off is one of the handy features of Instagram.

Log in to your personal account by entering your login and password.
Then go to the main profile page. To do this, click on the icon with the image of a person in the upper right corner.
Then click on the three dots. They are at the top right of the screen. Find "Settings" and select it.
Click on Push Notifications. The user will see a list of all available functions.
Find notifications about comments and likes in the presented list. Check or uncheck the box next to them. nine0003
If the checkbox is unchecked, notifications will not be sent to the phone. If you check the box, then all information about likes and comments on publications will not be sent to the user.
If the phone is running on the Android operating system, the steps will be almost identical. The main thing here is to follow the instructions.
The first step is to log in to the social network. Go to the main page and click on the three dashes that are located in the upper right corner.

Now you need to go to the settings.
The menu opens. The user must find a sub-item with notifications. Tap on him.
To set up notifications in direct, you need to select "Messages in direct".
A list of various options will open. You can disable/enable notifications here. To do this, just check or uncheck the box next to a specific item.
To set up likes and comments, you need to go to settings through your personal profile. nine0003
There, select the notification item, and then tap on the "Posts, stories and comments" menu.
The user will be presented with all the functions that can be configured.
There can be many reasons for disabling notifications. All actions are carried out through the settings. But before starting the process, you need to think about which deactivation option to choose.
If messages are needed but intermittently interfere, then turn off the sound. This is easy enough to do. nine0003
All disabled options can be reset at any time.
You can manage Instagram settings through a personal computer. To do this, open the official website in a browser on a PC. nine0003
If you need to remove notifications in Direct for a specific correspondence, you must left-click on the message icon.
Then select correspondence. Next, use the key with the image of an inverted exclamation mark. It is located in the upper right corner. Now the user just needs to turn off or turn on notifications for the message. nine0003
It is also more convenient and practical to set up notifications through a mobile browser. All actions are identical to those described above. First, select "Settings" - "Notifications" and "Push notifications".
Post tags: Instagram
The only reason for the emergence and development of such services as Instagram is human narcissism and the need to satisfy one's own ego, expressed in the mutual setting of "likes" and comments with compliments.

However, the coin also has a downside - if at first the owner of a new account is happy with every guest of his page, then sooner or later active users with a large number of subscribers already feel some discomfort from the notifications about new actions of visitors every second. nine0003
A striking example is the video recorded by the former Spartak Moscow player de Zeuw, whose iPhone, after publishing a post in the feed with 8 million subscribers, instantly receives such a number of notifications about likes and comments that it becomes simply impossible to use the device normally.
