Did your latest Instagram shoutout go unmentioned? Did that photo you uploaded not get any likes or comments? Are your comments being ignored? If so, there’s a good chance that the person you are trying to reach has blocked you on Instagram. This can be frustrating, especially if you and the individual have a good rapport otherwise. This is an awkward position for anyone to be in, but luckily it can easily be fixed so you can continue sharing photos of your cat with their account. Here is everything you need to know about how to know if someone blocked you on Instagram and how to unblock someone on Instagram again.
How To Know If Someone Blocked You On Instagram
1. Your Account is Missing
Instagram is a social media platform so it has its own rules and regulations on how the account is to be treated. If your account goes missing, that means that the person or persons who blocked you have taken control of your account and started blocking you. You can’t just log in to your account for a few minutes, because you will be blocked immediately after logging in.
If you are unable to access your Instagram on any other device, then that means that the person who blocked you has taken control of your account and made it inaccessible from any other device or platform. You will not be able to view or delete their comment or post on Instagram even if you log in from another device or platform like Facebook, Twitter, etc. This may also happen if someone has changed their username as well as password on Instagram itself which can only be done by a user with administrator rights.
Instagram Account is Not Accessible from Their Mobile Device
If you try to access your Instagram account on your mobile phone but it doesn’t work, then that means that the person who blocked you has taken control of your account and made it inaccessible from their mobile phone. You will not be able to view or delete their comment or post on Instagram even if you log in from another device or platform like Facebook, Twitter, etc. This may also happen if someone has changed their username as well as password on Instagram itself which can only be done by a user with administrator rights.
You Can’t View Their Profile/Posts/Comments, But They Can See Yours
If you can’t view the profile of the person who blocked you on Instagram but they are able to see yours, then that means that the person who blocked you has taken control of your account and made it inaccessible from theirs as well. You will not be able to view or delete their comment or post on Instagram even if you log in from another device or platform like Facebook, Twitter, etc. This may also happen if someone has changed their username as well as password on Instagram itself which can only be done by a user with administrator rights.
You Can’t Access Your Instagram Account On the Web
If you have tried to access your Instagram account on the web but it doesn’t work, then that means that the person who blocked you has taken control of your account and made it inaccessible from their web browser. You will not be able to view or delete their comment or post on Instagram even if you log in from another device or platform like Facebook, Twitter, etc. This may also happen if someone has changed their username as well as password on Instagram itself which can only be done by a user with administrator rights.
How To Find Out Who Has Blocked You On Instagram
- View your Instagram profile in a web browser (web version) or on your mobile phone. Look for the “blocked users” section on your profile page. If you can’t find it, then Instagram has blocked you. You can still see other users’ posts, but you won’t be able to comment on or like their posts. If you have Instagram Stories turned on, you won’t be able to comment or like posts from people who have blocked you there either. You can still view these users’ Stories from the Instagram app on your phone or desktop computer, so long as they’re not also using Instagram Stories themselves.

- Log in to an email account that’s linked to your account on Instagram and then check your email inbox for any messages from the person who has blocked you there, telling you that they have blocked you and why.
- Log in to your Instagram account on a computer that’s not connected to the Internet, go to your profile page, and then click the “settings” link in the upper right corner of the page. Scroll down to the “Blocked users” section and then click on a name listed there. Instagram will open a window showing you who has blocked you and why they did so.

- Not sure if someone has blocked you? Send them an email asking them if they have blocked you. If they don’t respond, then chances are they have blocked you.
- If someone has blocked you, but you want to know why then send them an email asking them why they blocked you and include a link to your Instagram account in your message explaining what the problem is.
- If someone has blocked you on Instagram and doesn’t want to unblock you, then start a dialog with them using the “Send Message” feature that’s available on every Instagram profile page (you can also do this by going to your profile page and clicking on the “messages” link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen). Explain why you think this person should unblock you and give them a chance to explain themselves. You might even ask if there’s anything else that could be done to resolve the issue – like getting their block lifted or changing their reasons for blocking you so that it won’t happen again (for example, if they block you because they don’t like your profile picture, then ask them if they’d be willing to change it, or add a reason for blocking you to their message).

Conclusion
Blocking is a useful tool for managing your Instagram account and keeping unwanted content out. However, it can also be a source of stress if you accidentally block someone and want to unblock them. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to figure out who you’ve blocked, and there’s no reason to stress out about it. Be sure to unblock anyone you want to be able to see your content again, and you can go back to enjoying all of the benefits of the feature. If you have someone who you have a conflict with and you think they are blocking you, you can use these tricks to see if they have blocked you. If they have, it might be best to just let it go. If they haven’t, then maybe you can fix the problem.
