If only you could find out somehow…

In this blog post, we’ll show you how to check if you’ve been blocked on IG—without downloading a sketchy app from the App Store.

Who blocked you on Instagram?

Follow these steps to find out:

  1. Open the Instagram App and click the Search Button

  2. Search for the culprit’s username. If it shows up, you’re not blocked. If it doesn’t, continue with Step 3.

  3. Go to a mutual friend’s Instagram. (The closer they are with the suspect, the better.)

  4. Go through their posts, likes, comments, and followers to see if the suspect’s username appears.

  5. If the user’s name appears, click on it.

  6. If you click on the user’s profile and are unable to see their content, even though it says they have a number of posts at the top of their profile, then they have blocked you.

  7. If the user’s Instagram profile is set to Private, then their name will still appear on the search list. So, they have either blocked you or deactivated their Instagram account if they don’t show up.
