    You can change who your posts are open to. You can also unfollow people without them knowing. This means you are still friends with them but that their posts don't show up to you.

    No, if you block someone on either Instagram or Facebook, they will not be notified. But if they will see that they're not following you any and when they try to follow you, it will not let them. At this point, they'll realize that you have most likely blocked them.

    Type their name into the "search" function (located at the top of the page, to the left of your name). There should be a box, with the word "friends" with a check mark. Hover over the arrow on this box and the last option is "unfriend". Click this and you are done.
