Do you think you have been blocked by someone on Instagram? You don’t know for sure because Instagram does not send you a notification when someone blocks you. The person you’re trying to find may have deactivated or deleted their account. But there are some ways by which you can understand that you may have been blocked.
We’ll tell you how to know if someone blocked you on Instagram.
How to Know If Someone Blocked You on Instagram
You can try to determine if someone has blocked you on Instagram by searching for the person’s profile.
- If it’s a public profile and you can see the posts, you have not been blocked.
- If it’s a private profile and you can see the profile along with the message, “This Account is Private,” you have not been blocked.
- If you can see the person’s profile and the number of posts published, but you can’t see the posts themselves, then the person has blocked you from seeing their posts.
- If you cannot find the profile, perhaps the person has deactivated/deleted their account.
How to Tell If Someone Blocked You on Instagram or Deleted Their Account
- If you know the username of the person you’re searching for, look for their profile on an Internet browser: Instagram.com/username.
- If you are logged into Instagram, you will see an error message: “Sorry, this page isn’t available.”
- This means you may have been blocked by the person.
To confirm if the person’s account has been deleted, log out of your Instagram account.
- Search for the person’s username again in an incognito browser.
- If you cannot see the profile, the person has probably deleted their account.
- If you can see the profile, the person has blocked you.
How to Know If Someone Blocked You on Instagram Message
If you have been blocked, Instagram will hide any chats you have had with the person in the past. So check your DMs.
- If you can still see your chats, then you have not been blocked.
- If you cannot see your chats, you may have been blocked.
To confirm if you have been blocked or the person has deactivated/deleted their account, check any group messages where both of you have taken part.
If you can see their name as a group participant, but not anywhere else, then they have blocked you.
