  • Question
    If my page is public on Instagram, can a blocked person still see my profile?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Not unless they sign out or into a different account that you didn't block.
  • Question
    Can they message my friend even if I blocked them?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If your friend hasn't blocked them or vice versa, they can message your friend. They just have to follow your friend in order to send them a direct (private) message. The fact that you blocked any of them has nothing to do with it.
  • Question
    If you block someone, can they see your followers or who you are following?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No, they cannot. When you block a user, they cannot view your profile at all. It will just show a message saying the page is unavailable. If they are logged out, they can see how many followers you have but can't click the link or see the followers are unless they sign into an account that you didn't block. If your profile is private, then only your followers can see who you are following.
  • Question
    If I unblock a contact, will he know about it?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No. No notification is sent to them if you unblock them. You could send a message to them explaining that you unblocked them.
  • Question
    Can I say I deactivated my account when really I've blocked them? Will they be able to find out I actually blocked them?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    They can tell if they sign out or into an account you didn't block, and they will see your profile is there. If you deactivated your account, nobody will be able to view it, logged in or not.
