How do you check who blocked you on Instagram?
While share other blocked method doesn’t work to check who blocked you on instagram, however, there are various ways you can use to check if they have really blocked you.
Here’re a few tips that can help you know if someone has blocked you on instagram or not:
1: Search username on instagram
The first method is pretty simple and straightforward. You go to instagram search and types the username you want to check.
If the username isn’t visible on the search suggestions or search results, it means this user have blocked you.
2: Try mentioning them on a post
Another method that helps you check if someone blocked you or not is by mentioning them in a post or a reel.
Mention them in a post by putting “@[User_name]” and see if the color gets blue or remain white.
If the color of the username you mentioned doesn’t change, it means they’ve blocked you.
3: Check DM messages
One other method is by checking their DM profile.
If you’ve talked to them on instagram and you have the chat available in your DM, open it and see if the username is visible or not.
If “User not found” comes instead of real username, it means you’re blocked by them.
