How to find out if someone has blocked you on Instagram: 7 methods
Suspect that someone you've recently argued with has blocked you on Instagram? Instagram, by default, does not allow you to see a list of people who have blocked you. In fact, the platform won't even notify you when someone has blocked you.
Why someone can block you on Instagram
People may block you on Instagram for several reasons, including:
- Spamming their messages.
- Tagging them in irrelevant posts.
- Leaving inappropriate comments on their content.
If you have broken off a real friendship or relationship, the other person may also have blocked you so they can move on.
Have I been blocked on Instagram?
So how do you find out if someone you know has blocked you on Instagram? Here are seven methods you can try.
1. search for their username
If the profile does not appear in the search, it means that the person has deactivated his account or blocked you.
Remember, however, that people can change their usernames on Instagram. So there is a possibility that the person you are looking for did this instead.
2. search your profile
If you are blocked, you cannot comment on that person's post or send direct messages to that person. However, your previous comments and conversations do not disappear. So if you remember commenting on one of their posts or chatting via DM, open it and go to their profile.
If you see their profile without recent posts, you have probably been blocked. Since you can find out if someone has changed their username this way, you will definitely be blocked if the changed name does not appear in the search bar.
3. use a unique link to your profile on Instagram
When you create an account on Instagram, you get a unique URL that includes your username.
By replacing the username in the profile link with the name of the account of the person you suspect she has blocked, you should move to her account - if one exists.
If you open Instagram in your browser and search for their profile with a direct link, you will see their profile directly or a message: "Sorry, this page is unavailable."
To confirm whether the account exists, log out of Instagram and search for the same URL in a new tab. You will see the same message if the account is deactivated. However, if you see their profile this time, it means they have blocked you.
When someone changes their username, the URL name automatically changes as well. So if they have recently changed their username, this method will not help you locate their profile.
4. check from another account on Instagram
5. review shared group chats on Instagram
If you are participating in a group chat with another person, you can check if they have blocked you on that channel.
The other user will appear in the list of chat members. However, if you cannot access their profile, it means they have blocked you.
6. try tracking the same account again
If the person you are looking for displays without any recent posts or photos, try watching them again.
The other person did not block you - or may have unblocked you - if you can immediately follow them. Alternatively, you either stopped following the profile by mistake or were removed from their follower list.
If the other person has blocked you, you will see an error message and will not be able to watch them again.
7. mention and mark the account
When people block you on Instagram, you can't mention them or tag them in your posts or comments. This is another way to find out if someone has blocked you. However, setting your account to private has the same effect.
If you can't tag someone or mention them in a post on Instagram, search for their username or profile instead. If you see the message "This account is private," you can be sure that you have not been blocked. If the account exists, but you don't see any posts, there's a good chance you've been blocked.
Now you know how to check if someone has blocked you on Instagram
Instagram does not notify you when someone blocks you on Instagram, but you can use a few simple methods to check. If you discover that you have been blocked by someone you are close to, ask and see if they will unblock you.
If your relationship with someone is strained or the person refuses to unblock you, it is important to respect their decision - whether you agree with it or not.
Finally, when someone blocks you on Instagram, that person will automatically be blocked from your page as well. So you don't have to retaliate and block them back.
