Hello,
I share a very small Instagram page with my ten year old daughter, she takes a few photos and videos of us making stuff (poorly).
macetown_wood it is called just to prove how misguided we are.
It was just my way to introduce she to the Interweb, to show her to be careful.
It is set up in my name so maybe this is the problem.
How to stop all the little wannabe pornstars messaging with links to Onlyfans.
Now I don’t care what they do on Onlyfans, they not my daughter, but when my daughter can’t go and see if her editing of our video has got ten views I do.
I am not very good with technology so hopefully there is a very simple solution.
Thank you.

Unfortunately there isn't really much you can do, I regularly have my posts liked by fake accounts that have no posts but still manage to have thousands of followers. It has become a sad part of being on there.

You can report and block them but they create a new account every time. Is your account verified with the blue tick? My unwanted attention seemed to start when I verified my account.

I do block, but there seems to be a lot of them, not sure I’m verified as I don’t know!

Try this. Click on your avatar or logo at bottom right to go to your profile, then the three lines at top right. Scroll down to ‘hidden words’ in the ‘how others can interact with you’ section, then ‘custom words and phrases’. From here you can hide comments and hide messages, create a laundry list of inappropriate words, phrases etc.. etc.. It’s far from infallible, but it’s what’s available. HTH. P

Thank you Peter, I have found my way there. Your videos are a great help also.

I have the same problem on my Instagram account it drives me insane. I have the same picture of a girl with 10 different accounts so far. Instagram can do anything about it apparently.

People keep telling me to get an instagram account. Things like this make me want to avoid it like the plague ( which is my initial feeling anyway to be fair ) .
