Is there a way to check if another user blocked you on Instagram? I want to know if a friend blocked me. TIA!

Hi, Vivian!
There are different ways to know if someone has blocked you on Insta.
1. Search their profile – If their profile is public, you should see their posts, if private, then you should see a message that says “This Account is Private” – if you can see those then you’re not blocked. If you’re blocked, then the profile would not appear on your search and/or you won’t be able to see their posts. If their profile won’t show up on the search, but you can see them on old comments and tags, then click their profile and check the points stated above.
2. Browser search – If you know their username then you can search it in the format Instagram.com/username. If you click a search result you think matches the profile you’re trying to check and an error saying “Sorry, this page isn’t available” appears, that means you’re blocked.
3. Check your messages – If you have been blocked, Instagram will hide any message thread you’ve had with that person, so if you can still see your chat, then you’re not blocked.
4. Try following them again – If you can view their profile, try to follow them. If you’re unable to follow them no matter how many times you click the follow button, then you’re blocked. They will not get any notifications that you have tried.
5. Use another Instagram account or device – if you can’t view their profile from your account but have no problem viewing it from another account, then that means you’re blocked.
Hope this helps.
You can also use a third-party application to know who has blocked you on Instagram. There are several apps for this – you can click this link for more information. I hope this helps 🙂
Addition to the previous comments – if you can see their profile, but can’t see the posts from the account, you’ve been blocked. Instead of a grid of posts, you will see the message “No Posts Yet,” even though you can clearly see the number of posts that they should have (really sleek Insta lol)
