Can I block someone who has blocked me?

Yes, you can block someone who has already blocked you. To do this, you first need to identify the person who has blocked you by searching for them in your contacts list or by searching their name on a social media platform.

Once you find the person’s profile, you can click the appropriate blocking button. This will block the user from seeing any of your posts, messages, or contact information. Additionally, if the user ever tries to unblock themselves, you will need to re-block them.

How can I find someone who blocked me on Instagram?

Unfortunately, there is no direct way to determine if someone has blocked you on Instagram. However, there are several methods you can try to determine if that person has blocked you. The first way is to open the Instagram app and search for the person’s profile.

If you can’t see their profile page, it could be a sign that they have blocked you. However, it could also mean they have just deleted their profile, so it’s important not to jump to conclusions.

Another method is to ask mutual friends if they’ve seen the person’s posts recently. If they have, then the person may have just blocked you but not them.

A third option is to search for posts featuring the person and see if you can view them on your feed. If so, this could be further evidence that you’ve been blocked.

Unfortunately, you won’t know for sure if someone has blocked you until you receive confirmation from the person in question.

How come I can see the profile pic of someone who blocked me?

The profile pic of someone who has blocked you might still be visible to you because the blocking process can take some time to take effect, depending on the platform you are using. For example, if you are using social media, the profile pic might remain cached in the app stored on your device, even if it has been blocked on the server side.

This means that until the app refreshes with updated information, the profile pic will still appear visible. Additionally, some platforms do not allow you to block individual profile pics, so the image would still remain visible even after the block has been initiated.

When someone blocks you on Instagram do their messages disappear?

When someone blocks you on Instagram, their messages and profile will no longer be visible to you. Their messages will not show up in your inbox, and any comments or likes they made on any of your content will no longer be visible.

Their profile will also no longer show up in search, your followers list, or any conversations you have with mutual followers. Additionally, all messages that you sent to the person who blocked you will still remain visible to you, but if you try to view the profile of the person who blocked you, you will get an error message indicating that the profile could not be found.

When you block someone on Instagram does it block all their accounts?

No, when you block someone on Instagram it does not block all of their accounts. Blocking someone on Instagram will prevent you from seeing their profile, posts, and stories in your feed as well as prevent you from being able to send them messages.

That said, it will not prevent them from creating another Instagram account. Additionally, the person being blocked will still be able to see your account and posts, they just won’t be able to interact with them (e. g.

, commenting on posts, sending direct messages). Therefore, if the person being blocked creates a new account, you will need to block that account separately.

How can I hide my Instagram from someone without blocking them?

You can prevent someone from seeing your Instagram account without blocking them by using the Privacy Settings feature. To do this, go to your profile and tap the three dots on the top right corner. Select ‘Privacy and Security’, then ‘Account Privacy’.

From here, select ‘Share with’, and you will be presented with three options – ‘Public’, ‘Friends’, and ‘Custom’. If you select ‘Custom’, you can then ‘Turn Off’ the ability for a certain user to ‘See your posts’ or ‘View your profile’.

Once you have done this, the user will be prevented from seeing your profile and posts, even if they follow you. You can also select ‘Turn Off’ for specific types of posts – for example, you could turn off the ability for a certain user to view just your Stories, or just the photos you have posted.

When you block someone do they know?

While blocking someone on social media or other platforms may make you feel like it’s a silent, safe form of protection, it’s important to know that there are some ways the person you blocked can tell that you blocked them.

Whether or not the person knows for sure that you blocked them may depend on the platform you used, but it’s important to keep in mind that many people may be able to tell.

For example, when you block someone on Facebook, the person won’t be able to see your profile, but due to the activity notifications sent out on Facebook, your friend may be able to tell that you blocked them.

They may notice that whenever you post something, you no longer show up in their list of mutual friends.

In general, people can usually tell if they’ve been blocked from a person due to how the platform works. This could be as simple as trying to send a message or call a contact and realizing they can no longer do so.

In platforms such as Instagram, if the person you blocked has mutual friends with you and they can see posts on your profile, they may infer that you blocked them.

It’s important to remember that the person you blocked will likely be aware of what happened and know you blocked them, even if they aren’t completely certain. Therefore, if you decide to block someone, it’s important to understand the potential consequences and be aware of the impact you may have on the person you blocked.

Does someone know when you block them?

When someone is blocked, they are usually not made aware of it right away. Generally, they will only know they have been blocked if they attempt to contact the person who blocked them. For example, if they try to call them, send them a text message, or even interact with them on social media, they may notice that their attempts are not being received.

If they realize they have been blocked, they may try to reach out to the other person to determine why they have been blocked.

Why is blocking not working on Instagram?

There could be a few reasons why blocking is not working on Instagram. The most likely explanation is that either the device or the app is outdated and needs to be updated. It is also possible that there might be some sort of glitch with the app.

Another potential explanation is that the account you are attempting to block is not active or has been deleted. Additionally, if you are blocking someone from within a shared group, the app may not allow you to block that particular user due to technical limitations.

Lastly, if you have multiple accounts, make sure you are blocking the correct account.

In order to determine why blocking is not working on Instagram, try restarting the device or updating the app and see if that helps. If that fails, try switching between accounts to make sure that the account you are trying to block is not inactive or deleted.

Additionally, if you are running into the issue while trying to block someone from within a shared group, you may have to resort to other platforms like direct messages or text messages in order to effectively block them.
