There are a number of ways are available where you come to know easily whether anyone blocks you or not. Also, people have some misconceptions about other not working ways. So, we going to discuss both the methods and you can finally confirm whether you have been blocked or not. So, don’t waste more time, let’s start.
Visit Profile URL on Instagram Web
The best way to check that person who may block you is to visit the profile URL. Here you definitely need to know the username of the user or the profile URL. However, if you have the username of the user then you can easily make the profile URL as well.
When you have the profile URL then open an internet browser and make sure you do not log in to Instagram web. If you already login then you can use the private or incognito window on your device.
So, you need to visit this type URL “https://www.instagram.com/insert_username/“. If the user blocks you and you already log in then it doesn’t show you. Here it may possible that the user deactivates or delete the account. So, you need to cross-check that the account is open. Right?
So, once you use the incognito window on your browser and visit the profile URL then you can see the profile page. And when you log in then you can’t see, it means the user blocked you. It is a pretty easy and short method to check the user who blocks you. But you definitely need the right username or profile URL.
Now, if you use the private window and the user actually deletes or deactivates the account then it shows the URL no longer available. So, you come to know that the user actually deletes the account and did not post content in it.

Actually, all Instagram users also use WhatsApp. So, we see that when a user blocks WhatsApp, it doesn’t show the profile picture. It is a sign that the person blocks you. Now, some people use the same method and try to check the profile picture. But the main thing is, that Instagram still shows the profile picture even if the person blocks you.
