Following Their Account Again

If you are suspecting someone has blocked you on Instagram then go to the search tab then search for the person again, you cant see the person’s page on the search results if you are blocked.

When someone blocks you, the chat thread between you and that person will disappear, so when you go to your DM and find out a chat between you and that person is not there anymore, then definitely you’ve been blocked, but if you find out the messages are still showing then it means that person has not blocked you.
