Oh man, I went through this recently. When you’re blocked:
- Their profile disappears from your search.
- Your old comments? Still there, but anonymized.
- DMs just won’t send—no error, just nothing.
Weirdly, if a mutual tags them, you *can* see the post but not their profile.
No, Instagram doesn’t tell you. You just... figure it out.
It’s wild how being blocked works on Instagram with zero transparency.
