Adjust privacy settings

Tweak my account so only approved followers can see my posts and stories. Turn off activity status for everyone, limit message requests to people I follow, and add a block for the account @spam_brand. Confirm each change back to me with screenshots by end of day.

Before I lock down privacy, make it easy for my team to collaborate. Surface the tradeoffs: what gets hidden from search, how DMs behave, how message requests work, and whether approved followers will still see older posts. Flag settings that could break scheduled partner posts or analytics access.

The client wants posts visible only to approved followers but also needs analytics access for last quarter. I don’t know which privacy toggles retroactively hide older posts or cut off data. What will actually change if I switch to private now, will it affect past posts’ visibility, and how can I preserve analytics access for the marketing team?

Every time I tighten privacy after a harassment incident, partner reporting breaks and influencers lose access to analytics. Where is my workflow failing—am I missing stakeholder sign‑offs, failing to document exceptions, or applying settings too broadly—and what one change to process will stop breaking partner access while protecting the account?
