There are several ways you can follow to find out who blocked you on Instagram. Some of these ways require trusting third-party apps and submitting login information, but you can check if you’ve been blocked without downloading an app.
How to Check if Blocked on Mobile Devices
- Open the official Instagram app.
- Log into your Instagram account using your username and password.
- Search for this user by typing the name of the user you think has blocked you in the search section.
- If the user’s account is showing smoothly and you are still following each other, it means that the person has not blocked you. If the person’s account seems to be without problems, but you are no longer following each other, it means that this person has exposed you to the ‘soft block’ process. ‘Soft block’ is the name given to a person being blocked and unblocked again. Thus, people unfollow each other.
- If the account of the user you are searching for does not appear, it means that the person has blocked you or closed their account. In this case, you can make sure of the situation by following the next steps.
How to Check If You Have Been Blocked Via Computer
- Open one of the classic browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera on your computer.
- When your browser opens, open an incognito tab using CTRL + SHIFT + N. The reason we opened this incognito tab is because we have logged out of our account and we need to delete the cookies.
- In the address bar of the incognito tab, enter the username of the person you suspect has blocked you as ‘www.instagram.com/username’.
- If the person’s account is accessible, you can compare your results with results from mobile devices. If the person’s account cannot be found, the person may have closed their account temporarily or permanently. The person may also have changed their username.
