How to check if someone blocked you on Instagram; follow these steps (2024)

FAQs

How do you know if someone you follow blocked you on Instagram? ›

If you see something along the lines of 'Instagram user' and cannot see their profile picture, they might have blocked you. To confirm the same, open their profile, and if you are unable to see their posts or follow them, they have blocked you on the platform.

Blocking someone automatically unfollows them from your profile and you from theirs should they be following you. And you'll have to follow them and vice versa after unblocking them.

Simply head over to their Instagram profile and tap the box that says “Following.” There, you'll see a list of people that person is following. If you know for sure they were following you, but you're not on that list, you can safely assume you've been unfollowed. Sounds easy, right?

See who you've blocked on Instagram and unblock them

Tap or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile. Tap in the top right. Below Who can see your content, tap Blocked. You can choose to unblock someone by tapping Unblock to the right of their name.

One method you can use on any type of phone is by calling the person you suspect has blocked you. While typically you can expect to hear anywhere from three to 12 rings when you call someone before going to voicemail, a blocked number will only ring once and then go straight to voicemail, according to Tom'sGuide.com.

Can You Still See a Blocked Person's Profile? No, once an Instagram user blocks you, their profile becomes completely inaccessible. This means you won't be able to view their posts, stories, followers, or following list.

People aren't notified when you block them.

It is impossible to view Instagram private account, unless you follow them and they accept your request. That's it. No, if you have a private account, they can't see your highlights stories. in addition, they can't see your post or anything related on your page.

Restricted users can still search for your username and visit your profile page. Your username is visible to them everywhere on the Instagram app, such as your comments and likes on others' posts. Blocked users cannot visit your profile, search for your username or see your profile anywhere on the Instagram app.

What does it look like when someone blocks you on Instagram? ›

If the account is private and you can't find it, you've probably been blocked. If the account is public, and when visiting their page you can't see their profile image, post count, follower count, or following count, and the photo grid area reads "No Posts Yet," you have been blocked.

While it's obvious to someone when they've been blocked — because they can no longer find that user on the platform — it won't be obvious when they've been restricted. They will see that user's posts in their feed like they usually do. But they will no longer see when the user is online or has read their messages.

When you're blocked on Instagram, you are no longer able to interact with the person who blocked you. You will not see their profile in search, and you will not see their posts or Stories in your feed. You will still be able to tag the account, but it won't show up in their activity feed.

No, if you block someone on Instagram, they will not be able to see your followers and following list. Blocking someone on Instagram means that you do not want them to have any access to your profile, posts, or any other information related to your account.

If someone has blocked you, you won't be able to follow them from the same account that they have blocked. If you're referring to a private profile (where they have not blocked you but the photographs they post are hidden) you can send a follow request and if they accept it, you'll be able to see their profile.

If you're not blocked, the phone should ring anywhere from three to twelve times before going to voicemail. A blocked number may ring only once and then go to voicemail.
