You can’t see a list of “who blocked you” on Instagram, but you can usually figure it out for specific people with a few checks and some detective work.

Can I See Who Blocked Me on Instagram?

Instagram does not offer any feature or setting that shows you a list of accounts that blocked you.

Any app or website that claims to “show all people who blocked you” is unreliable and risky for your privacy and account security.

Instead, you can only check individual accounts to see if you were likely blocked.

Quick ways to tell if someone blocked you

Use these checks on the account you suspect:

  1. Search their username in the app
    • Open Instagram, go to Search, and type their exact username.
 * If their account is private and you can’t find them at all, it likely means you were blocked or they changed/deleted the account.

 * If their account is public, but when you tap it you see no profile image, no post/follower/following counts, and “No posts yet,” that’s a strong sign you were blocked.
  1. Check old comments or tags on your posts
    • Find a post where they previously commented or were tagged.
 * Tap their username.
 * If it takes you to a blank-looking profile with no posts or gives “Sorry, this page isn’t available” or “User not found,” you were likely blocked or they deleted their account.
  1. Use your Direct Messages (DMs)
    • Open your chat with that person, then tap their profile picture or name at the top to go to their profile.
 * If you see a “User not found” error or can’t view their profile details, this usually means they blocked you or deleted their account.
  1. Check their profile in a browser
    • If you know their username, go to https://www.instagram.com/username in a browser.
 * If it shows “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” then either:
   * The account was deleted, or
   * You are blocked.

 * To distinguish: log out of Instagram and open the same link again.
   * If you still see the same error while logged out, the account is probably deleted or changed.
   * If you now see their profile, that suggests your logged‑in account is blocked.
  1. Ask someone else to search them
    • Have a friend search the same username from their account.
 * If your friend can see the profile but you can’t, that is another strong indicator you were blocked.

What you cannot do

  • You cannot :
    • See a complete list of everyone who blocked you.
* Use any official Instagram feature to reveal “who blocked me.”

* Reliably use third‑party “block checker” apps without risking your security and possibly violating Instagram’s terms.
  • Be careful with:
    • Sites and apps asking for your password or login to “scan who blocked you.” These can steal accounts or misuse data.

Common confusions: blocked vs restricted vs deleted

Sometimes what looks like a block is something else:

  • Blocked
    • You can’t find the profile (or it looks empty), can’t see posts, and often can’t send DMs properly.
  • Restricted
    • They may still be able to see you, but your comments on their posts might be visible only to you and them.
* It can feel like being blocked in some ways, but you may still see their profile and posts.
  • Deleted or deactivated account
    • No one (including friends) can see the profile.
    • The username link shows that the page isn’t available, even when you’re logged out or on another account.

Mini FAQ and forum‑style notes

“Is there any way to see all accounts that blocked me?”

No. The only option is to check one person at a time using the methods above.

“Can I still see someone’s posts if they blocked me?”

Usually no. If they fully blocked you, you won’t see their posts in the app. A few users mention that for some public profiles you might still see older content via search engines or logged‑out browser views, but not stories, DMs, or full interaction.

“Are there tricks to bypass blocks?”

Public discussions sometimes mention viewing public profiles while logged out or from another account, but you still can’t interact as the blocked account. Trying to evade someone’s clear boundary can also cross personal‑respect lines.

TL;DR

You cannot see a formal list of who blocked you on Instagram, but by searching their username, checking old comments/DMs, and comparing what you see with a browser or a friend’s account, you can usually tell for specific people.
