HE Instagram It is one of the most popular social networks today. Mainly used by users to share “food photos” initially, the app allows you to upload photos or videos and share them with all your followers or just a limited group of friends.
Despite giving users the option to make their profile private and preventing strangers from accessing their posts, it still block blocks other people and their viewing posts and stories. if you think you can blocked for someone TecMundo has listed some information on the social network that can help you identify this problem.
How do you know if you’ve been blocked on Instagram?
Below you can see the main evidence that someone blocked you on Instagram. It is important to note that there is no official way for the social network to know this information. Therefore, the details listed below are only “hints” left by the platform.
1. Search the contact in app search
Use the Instagram search tool and search for the name or @ of the person you think has blocked you. If the profile looks normal, all information and posts are visible, you are not blocked. There is also the possibility that the profile will appear with the message that the page is private; In this case, the person has not blocked you either.
If you can see the profile but the posts aren’t loading, it’s practically guaranteed that a block has been carried out, unless the social network is experiencing instability.
2. Check your inbox, tags and comments
Check your inbox if you’ve ever exchanged private messages with the person who may have blocked you. If the messages are still there, rest assured, there was no blocking. Now, if the messages disappeared, things might be different…
Of course, there is the possibility of simply deactivating or deleting the person’s profile. If you have a shared group chat to confirm, check if you can still find the profile there. If the person continues to appear in the group (and only in the group), we’re sorry but you’ve probably been blocked.
If the person once commented on one of your photos or videos or tagged your colleague in a post, check to see if the messages or tags are still there. Try accessing the profile from there. If it works, you must be blocked if the person’s information cannot be accessed.
3. Access profile with direct link in browser
Each Instagram profile can be accessed in a web browser with a direct link. And knowing exactly which URL to type is very simple: simply add the person’s @ to the end of the link. For example, TecMundo’s Insta profile is @tec_mundo and the profile URL is instagram.com/tec_mundo. It’s that simple.
To find out if someone has blocked you, make sure to log out of the social network in the browser and enter the direct address of that profile in any browser such as Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge and FireFox. If the page unavailable message appears, the URL may be incorrect or the profile may be disabled.
Otherwise, if the contact’s information and posts are visible, a block must have occurred. Try logging in to the social network and visiting the URL again: if nothing appears, you will definitely be blocked.
4. Visit the profile using another account
Another very simple way to find out if you have been blocked is to visit the other person’s profile using a completely different Insta account. If the information for the other account is visible but yours is not, you are blocked.
What to do in case of blockage
If you have come to the conclusion that you have indeed been blocked and you think it may have been by mistake, you can still try to find out why by contacting this person on another social network where they may have a contact.
However, if you’ve had any fights or arguments lately, we don’t recommend trying to talk to the person who blocked you.
