How do I block someone on instagram without unfollowing them?

[Kitama6]

I followed someone on instagram, but their pictures absolutely flood my homepage! It's so bad that I can't even see everyone else's updates! I don't want to unfollow them, but I don't want to see their updates anymore (if that makes any sense).

Can someone tell me how to block someone on instagram WITHOUT unfollowing them (or how I can no longer see their pictures being updated on the homepage WITHOUT unfollowing them?)

P.S. I DO NOT WANT TO UNFOLLOW THEM!! (I put so much emphasis on this because I have asked this question in the past before, and people answered my question by saying "just unfollow them" even though I specifically said I did not want to unfollow those people.

You can't block them and still be following them. Sorry .

Wish this could be done. I'd like to do this to some as well.
