When someone blocks you on Instagram, several visual and functional changes occur:
- You will no longer be able to find their profile by searching their username.
- If you do find their profile (for example through an existing message or comment), it will show "No Posts Yet" even if they have posts, with no visible followers or following count.
- You cannot see their posts, stories, comments, or likes anymore.
- You will not see their profile picture or name in messages; instead, you might see "Instagram User" with a blank profile picture.
- You cannot follow them again; the follow button may appear but immediately revert back to follow after clicking.
- Your previous comments and likes on their posts disappear.
- You cannot send them direct messages, and any messages you send will not be delivered.
- Older message threads still exist but without their profile details.
- If you ask a friend to check their profile and they can see it while you cannot, you are blocked.
These signs collectively indicate that someone has blocked you on Instagram.
