When a user blocks you, **[Instagram](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51883/how-to-delete-instagram-account)** does not send you a notification. You'll never know unless you look into it. \
**The following are signs that someone has blocked you on Instagram:\
\**

- Someone's account activity has slowed, and you **haven't seen their shares or stories on your feed** in a long time, nor have you received **direct messages** from them.\ \
- You try to find a **person's Instagram account handle**, but you can't find it or **access their page**.\ \
- Look for their account on the internet. In the app, go to the **Search bar** and **type in their username**. If the account does not appear in the search results, it has been **blocked or removed.**\ \
- To go to their **profile**, use an **old comment or a DM**. If their profile appears, but the photo grid displays a **User not found** and a **No Posts Yet message**, it means **they have blocked you**.\ \

- On the web, go to their Instagram profile. Enter **www.instagram.com/** into any **smartphone or desktop** **browser (username)**. If their profile is visible in the browser but not in the app, it signifies they have **blocked** you. If you can't find the profile on Instagram on the web, it's possible that the person has **deactivated** their account.\ \
- Try to keep up with them. Open their profile page in the browser by going to Instagram on the web. By tapping the **blue** follow button, you can see if they've blocked you. The button will not work if they have blocked you, and Instagram may imply that there is a problem with a message.\ \
- On groups and other accounts, look for **likes and comments**. This behavior shows that the individual has **blocked you** rather than **terminated their account.**
