1. Search for Their Account
The most straightforward method is to search for the person’s account directly:
- Using the Instagram App: After he blocked even I know his user name but still his profile does not affear in search.
- Using a Web Browser: Enter the URL in the format
instagram.com/username
. If you see an error message like “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” it suggests you have been blocked or that the account has been deleted.
I have test this on my desktop and you can see screenshot that its giving me below error.
2. Review Your Direct Messages
As I have already chat with that user before blocking me so when I opened that conversation even I can message him but on the other those messages will not be sent to that user. I have also attached screenshot how that user profile is showing.
you can see that if a person blocks you at the top Instagram user will be shown instead of the user name.
now if you tap on the user profile from the chat below blank screen will show and sometimes it shows the profile but you cannot follow or send the request.
so you can get an idea if it is showing like that for you it means he has blocked you.
3. Look for Their Interactions on Your Posts
Check your own posts for any interactions from the user:
- If their likes or comments are missing, it may imply that they have blocked you. Once blocked, all previous comments and likes from that user will disappear from your posts.
- I have one of my post on which he had previously reacted but when I check it now even its show 2 relations but its showing only one user name, so if its happening in your case its mean that he had blocked you.
4. Ask a Friend to Check
A reliable way to confirm is to ask a friend to look up the account:
- Have them search for the user’s profile from their account. If they can see the profile while you cannot, it strongly suggests that you have been blocked.
5. Tagging and Mentioning
Attempt to tag or mention the user in a post or story:
- If you find that you cannot tag them, it confirms that they have blocked you. This method is useful because if you were merely unfollowed, you would still be able to tag them.
6. Seach that user name in incognito mode of browser
The most simple way this if you search his name on your account and that profile does not appear then you need to open your browser and search that user name.
https://instagram.com/username. if the user appear there but not in your account then its mean he had blocked you. If it shows screenshot like below it means that user deleted hos account.
