There are several ways to know if someone has blocked you on Instagram. One way is to go to the direct messages section in the app and look for the conversation with the person in question. If the text "Instagram User" appears instead of their profile picture and you do not have the option to follow them, you may have been blocked. If you are no longer able to interact with their profile, such as sending messages or viewing their photos, that is another clear sign of being blocked.
Another simple method is to directly search for the user's profile in the Instagram search bar. If you have previously interacted with that person through comments, likes, or tags, you can check if those interactions are still visible on your profile. If you cannot find the profile in any of these cases, it could be that you have been blocked or that the account has been deleted or suspended.
To verify if you have been blocked, you can also check the direct messages section on Instagram. If you have had private conversations with the person in question, see if their account is still active in direct messages. The disappearance of comments and likes from that person on your posts is also an indication of being blocked.
Attempting to access the person's profile from the web version of Instagram can also give you clues. Enter the exact username in the browser's address bar and try to access it. If you can see the profile without logging in but not from your account, you are likely blocked. Additionally, if you have been tagged in posts where that person participated and the tag has disappeared, that is another clue. Finally, if the profile does not appear in the search results, it is possible that you have been blocked or that the account has been deleted.
