In this post, you’ll learn how to know if someone blocked you on Instagram.
Am I blocked by this person or not?
This is a question that many people ask themselves on social networks.
A possibility is given on all platforms for the safety of users.
And if you were to be blocked, you would suddenly not have access to the content of the person who blocked you, but is that all?
Some social networks like Twitter, directly tells the person concerned that a user has blocked them but Instagram does not offer this.
However, there are a number of signs that can be seen to know if someone has blocked you or not. We are going to show you the tips to know if someone has blocked you on Instagram.
How to know if someone is blocking me on Instagram?
Search for the account that is blocking me on instagram
If you think that a user has blocked you on Instagram, you should try to search for them in the search bar of the application.
If his username is not found it may indicate that this person whose profile is private has blocked you.
But it can also mean that this account has simply been closed (permanently or permanently).
However, if the profile of this account is public and you suspect that it has blocked you, you will be able to see it appear in your search, but when you enter the account to see the photos posted, you will find the mention “no photos or videos yet”.
At this point, you can try to follow the person.
If you were already following them in the past, it is possible that the possibility to follow them is still there, but if you are blocked, when you click on it you will not be able to follow that person.
Even if you click on the “follow” button nothing will happen.
This is the first way to see if someone has blocked us on Instagram.
Check your old instagram conversations
If you continue to have doubts and have had conversations with this person in the past, check your conversation history.
In case you are blocked, the profile will appear without messages, which is a second sign that your account is blocked.
Use a computer in incognito
Another way to see if you are blocked by someone is to go to your browser (web or mobile) in private browsing and type instagram.com/username of the person you are looking for.
You can also search directly on Google by typing in their username and Instagram behind it. In any case, if you find the profile of the person you suspect has blocked you and you have used the previous tips, the block is certain.
Why can you see this account?
Because this user has blocked you via his phone, but not his web browser.
Use another account
If you still have doubts, one of the last possible alternatives to see if someone has blocked you on Instagram is to use the account of one of your friends or to create a new account.
If the account in question shows up in your searches and you can follow it, this confirms that this person is blocking you.
What happens if I block someone on Instagram?
To understand what change this imposes, let’s take a look at what actually happens when you block someone.
Likes on the blocked person’s posts will be deleted
Even if you have blocked someone on Instagram you should know that the likes and comments you had made will never be visible again.
Any interactions you may have had will be deleted.
Blocked users will no longer be able to follow you.
Blocking someone prevents them from accessing your content and therefore from following you.
The account of this person will appear as if you had never seen it. If his account is private you will not be able to see his content either.
What happens if I like the photo of a blocked person?
The fact is that if you have blocked a person on your application you can still access their content via the web, but don’t worry.
If you happen to like one of their photos, no notification will be made and the like will be automatically deleted.
If I block someone, can they see my photo?
No, this user will no longer have access to your account, but they will still be able to see the photos where you are identified if you have friends in common and you appear on the profile of these people in question.
