To know if someone has blocked you on Instagram, there are several methods to check:
- Try searching their username on Instagram. If you can't find their profile but can find it from another account or a friend's account, you are likely blocked.
- Visit their profile via their direct link (instagram.com/username). If you see "Sorry, this page isn’t available" when logged in, but the profile is visible when logged out or from another browser, you have been blocked.
- Check your direct messages (DMs) with them. If their username appears as "Instagram user" without a profile picture and you can’t see their posts or follow them, you are blocked.
- Try mentioning or tagging them. If Instagram prevents you from tagging or mentioning their username, it’s another sign you’re blocked.
- Look at past interactions like comments or messages. If their profile can’t load from these, it indicates a block or profile deactivation.
- If the follow button on their profile switches back to "Follow" after you click it, that confirms you are blocked.
By using these ways—searching from other accounts, checking profile links, DMs, mentions, and follow status—you can confirm if someone has blocked you on Instagram.
