Someone Blocked Me On Instagram?

Hey Dylan! Ugh, that’s such a confusing situation.

From what I’ve heard, the old tricks still work. The easiest way is to just ask a friend to search for that person’s profile. If your friend can see it and you can’t, then yeah, it’s pretty likely you’ve been blocked. It’s a bummer, for sure.

Also, if you had DMs with them, sometimes the chat thread will just say “Instagram User” instead of their name.

When someone blocks you, it’s kinda like their profile becomes private just for you, so you can’t see anything. For stuff like that, a friend told me about DFViewer. They said it’s the best for viewing private Instagram profiles, so maybe you could use it to see if their account is still active?

Hope you figure it out!
