Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms which allows its users to share their life content like photos and videos on posts. Users on Instagram have their own Instagram feed which can be viewed by the public and people that follow them. Also, users have the option of making their profile private so that only their followers can view their posts.

However, if you’ve recently noticed that you are unable to see a certain person's posts in your Instagram feed and it is not that they have a private account. Then, it is possible that they are inactive or simply haven't posted anything in a while. But there are also chances that they may have blocked you.
Therefore, to get rid of this confusion, you can simply check to find out for sure. Given below are some easy steps that you can follow to know if someone has blocked you on Instagram.
Here’s how you can check if someone has blocked you on Instagram
Step 1: Open the Instagram app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Now, simply type the account name (that you think has blocked you) in the search input field.
- If the account is private and you’re unable to find it upon searching. Then, you can’t really say that they have blocked you.
- However, if the account is public, and while searching for their page, you can’t see any posts, their profile picture, followers count or the following count. Moreover, if the photo grid area reads “No posts yet”, then they’ve definitely blocked you.
Step 3: You can check this on your computer as well. Type in the link Instagram.com/ username (replace the word "username" with their Insta handle). Now, if you land on a page or pop-up reading "Sorry, this page isn't available." Then, you have surely been blocked.
Step 4: You can double-check by searching for the person's likes or comments on an Instagram account they follow. If you come across any of their comments or likes, it means that they haven't deleted their account but have actually blocked you.
Step 5: You can even use your friend's account to verify if you’ve been blocked. Just search for the person in question by using your friend’s account or any other Instagram account.
If you can find their profile or see photos, posts and additional info after searching for their account, it's confirmed that you’ve been blocked.
Point to note: You can follow the above-mentioned steps irrespective of what version of the Instagram app you have.
