If you suspect that you have been blocked on Instagram, it is natural that you would like to know for sure. After all, those kinds of things are a little bit caustic, especially if it’s the guy who used to be your friend.
Don’t worry though, because it’s easy to find out if you’ve been blocked on Instagram or not. Then you will definitely know and can put it aside.
However, it is important to remember that if you are blocked on Instagram, it is possible that the person who blocked you does not want any contact with you and does not want you to view their profile, so you need to get rid of them and accept that as a fact. It is not advised to go looking for ways to circumvent their ban or try to contact them.
Next, here’s how to find out if you’ve been blocked on Instagram.
How do you know if you have been blocked on Instagram
In this example, Tom’s Guide writer Andy Sansom blocked me – but that won’t excuse him from his article deadlines. Before he blocked me, I could see his profile and content.
To find out if you are banned or not, you need to follow these steps.
1. Search their username

on Instagram, Search the person’s username. As you can see, no results come up when searching for Andy’s username.
2. Ask someone else to look up their username

now Have another person look up the person’s username. You see, when Mike Prospero, editor-in-chief of Tom’s Guide, searched for Andy’s handle, he immediately found his page.
The block takes effect immediately, but you may still see the person who blocked you in your notifications feed, if you have recent notifications from them.
There also seems to be a lag – after Andy blocked me, I can still search for and access his profile. However, it was possible to tell that I was banned because his profile looks like the image below: completely devoid of content with followers and the following counts hidden.
Here you are. Now you know how to definitively tell if someone blocked you on Instagram. If you would like more tutorials for using social media apps, read our instructions on how to download videos from Facebook, how to hide Facebook likes and how to change your username on Instagram.
