How Do You Know If Someone Blocked You on Instagram?

Are you no longer able to view the profile of someone you are sure you follow on Instagram? Of course, this may be due to some connection or server problems, but unfortunately there is another possibility: This person may have blocked you!

So how do you know if this person has blocked you? I wonder if he froze or closed his account? Or is it something specific to you? Let’s see how you can tell if someone has blocked you on Instagram.

How to Know If You’ve Been Blocked on Instagram?

When you search on Instagram, some accounts appear to be inactive. These accounts are either truly inactive/disabled or they have blocked you. How will I know which one it is? If so, you can benefit from these tips:

When you type the username of the relevant person in the search bar, does this person’s name appear among the suggested accounts? If it appears and their account appears to be inactive, this person may not have blocked you but deactivated their own account.

If you don’t see the account you want when you search, it’s probably blocked you.

Let’s say you somehow viewed this person’s profile. If the person has blocked you, you cannot view the posts they shared, even if their profile is visible.

When you look at the profile of the person you think may have blocked you, you can see the number of posts, but if it says ‘no posts yet’ at the bottom, we can say it’s bad news. This is one of the main situations you may encounter when you are blocked.

Another clue is hidden in the interactions you have received from this person before. Comments and likes previously made by a person who blocked you on your posts will be lost.

If you remember the details of your post history about this person, you can check whether the comments have been deleted or not, but at this point it is useful to remind that the comments of permanently closed accounts are also deleted.

One of the easiest ways to understand that you have been blocked is to try messaging this person. If you can send a DM, this person has not blocked you. Because you cannot receive or send DMs to people you have blocked on Instagram.

You should also know this about the message: If you have a previously created chat history with this person, you can enter the same chat box and write a message.

If you are blocked, the messages you write will not be forwarded to the other party (even though you can send them). This person can instantly unblock you, read what you wrote and block you again.

How to Block a Profile on Instagram?

If you want to block someone who you realize has blocked you, what you need to do is quite simple. By following these steps, you can block the people you want to hide your shares with:

• After logging in to the application, type the username of the person you want to block in the search bar.
• Go to this person’s profile.
• Press the three-dot button in the upper right corner.
• Click ‘Block’.
• Depending on the version you use, you may have two different options.
• You can only block this person’s account by saying ‘Block this person’.
• If you wish, you can take more comprehensive action by saying ‘Block this person and any new accounts he may create’.
• In some versions, when you say ‘block’, other accounts that the person can create are automatically blocked.
• You can even report this account to Instagram by clicking ‘Block and report’.
