"Can someone explain how being blocked works on Instagram?"

Hey guys! Sooo, I think I got blocked by someone, but I’m not 100% sure. Like, their profile just *poof* disappeared from my followers list, and I can’t find them in search anymore.

Does anyone know *exactly* how being blocked works on Instagram? Like, can they still see my posts if we have mutual friends? And what about DMs—do old convos vanish too?

Also, is there any way to confirm if it’s a block or if they just deactivated? Super confused rn lol.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
