Yes, you can stop someone from messaging you on Instagram. Go to the person's profile, tap the three dots in the top right corner, and select 'Block' or 'Restrict.' Blocking prevents them from seeing your profile or sending messages. Restricting moves their messages to a separate folder, and they won't know you've read them. By managing your privacy settings, you can control who communicates with you on the platform.
