Whitelist & Blacklist

Last updated on Apr 23, 2025

Your Instagram feed should reflect what your brand stands for. That’s why Flock Social gives you full control over who your account engages with and who it avoids.

Blacklist: Skip the distractions

The Blacklist is where you put accounts you don’t want Flock Social to touch. Maybe it’s spam, maybe it’s a competitor, or maybe it’s just not a good fit. Once added, the system won’t follow, like, or view stories from that account again. Past interactions stay, but that’s the end of it moving forward.

Important note- You can add or remove users from your dashboard anytime.

Whitelist: Keep your people safe

The Whitelist protects your key connections—whether they’re friends, clients, or creators you respect. When you first connect your account, Flock Social automatically whitelists everyone you were already following. If you follow someone new after the setup and want to keep them on your list, just add them manually. This way, we won’t accidentally unfollow someone important.

Why It Matters

Your audience should grow in a direction that actually makes sense for you. These lists help you do just that. Use the Blacklist to steer clear of the noise. Use the Whitelist to protect the connections that matter most. It only takes a minute to manage, but it makes a big difference in how your growth feels and who it brings in at the end of the day.
