In this article, we’ll take a look at what happens when your Instagram account is either blocked or deactivated.
If your Instagram account is blocked, you won’t be able to log in and you won’t be able to see your account or any of your posts. If your account is deactivated, your account will be hidden from other users and you won’t be able to post or see any of your previous posts.
Both a blocked and a deactivated account can be reactivated, but if you’re blocked, you’ll need to contact Instagram to find out why your account was blocked in the first place.
If you think your account has been blocked or deactivated by mistake, you can appeal Instagram’s decision by following the instructions on this page.
If you’re not sure what to do, or you’d like more information, keep reading for more details on blocked and deactivated Instagram accounts.

What is the difference between deactivating and blocking on Instagram?
People often ask, “What is the difference between deactivating and blocking on Instagram?” The answer is that they both achieve different results.
When you deactivate your Instagram account, your profile and all of your posts will be hidden, but your account will still be stored on Instagram’s servers. This means that if you want to reactivate your account, you can, and your profile and posts will be restored.
When you block someone on Instagram, on the other hand, their account will be deleted and they will be unable to create a new account with the same username. Blocking someone also prevents them from seeing your posts and interacting with you.
So, if you want to temporarily hide your profile from others, or if you want to completely remove someone from your Instagram account, deactivating is the way to go. If you want to prevent someone from contacting you or seeing your posts, blocking is the way to go.
How do you tell if you are blocked on Instagram?
Instructions
1. Open Instagram and try to view the profile of the person who you think has blocked you.
2. If you are unable to view their profile, you have likely been blocked.
3. If you can still view their profile, but are unable to like or comment on their posts, you may have been blocked.
4. If you can still view their profile and like and comment on their posts, you have not been blocked.
How do I know if someone blocked me or deactivated?
When you’re blocked by someone, you can’t see their posts, photos or profile. If you try to visit their profile, you’ll see a message that says “This account is not available.”
If you think you’ve been blocked, there are a few things you can do:
– Try viewing the profile of someone you know who’s friends with the person you think blocked you. If you can’t see their posts, they’ve probably blocked you.
– Try looking up the person’s name on Google or another search engine. If their profile doesn’t come up, they’ve probably blocked you.
– Try sending them a message. If you don’t receive a reply, they’ve probably blocked you.
How does deactivated Instagram account look like?
A deactivated Instagram account looks very different from an active one. When an account is deactivated, it is hidden from other users and the owner cannot post, like, or comment on photos.
The main difference between a deactivated and a deleted account is that the former can be reactivated while the latter cannot. If you deactivate your account, your username, photos, and followers will be saved. However, if you delete your account, it will be completely erased and cannot be recovered.
To deactivate your account, go to the Settings menu and select “Account.” Scroll down and tap “Deactivate Your Account.” Instagram will ask you to provide a reason for deactivating your account. You can choose from a list of options, or type in your own.
Once you’ve provided a reason, Instagram will ask you to re-enter your password. Once you’ve done that, your account will be deactivated. To reactivate it, simply log back into Instagram using the same username and password.
If you’re not sure whether you want to deactivate your account, you can temporarily disable it instead. This will hide your profile from other users but will still keep your photos and followers. To disable your account, go to the Settings menu and select “Account.” Scroll down and tap “Temporarily Disable Your Account.”
To reactivate it, log back into Instagram and select “Enable My Account.”
How do you know if someone deactivated or deleted their Instagram?
Instagram is a social media platform that allows users to share photos and videos with their followers. It is one of the most popular social media platforms, with over 1 billion active users.
There are a few ways to tell if someone has deactivated or deleted their Instagram account. One way is to check if they are still following you. If they are not following you anymore, they may have deleted their account. Another way is to check if their profile is still on the platform. If their profile is no longer on the platform, they may have deleted their account.
What does being blocked on Instagram look like?
If you’ve been blocked on Instagram, you may be wondering what that looks like. What does it mean for you and your account?
When you’re blocked on Instagram, you won’t be able to see the account that blocked you. You also won’t be able to see any of that account’s posts in your feed, on your profile, or in any of your search results.
If you try to visit the account that blocked you, you’ll see a message that says “The account you are trying to view has been blocked.”
If you try to follow the account that blocked you, you’ll see a message that says “This account is not following you.”
If you try to like or comment on the account’s posts, you’ll see a message that says “This post is not available.”
Your account may also be removed from any hashtags that the account you were blocked by is using.
If you’re blocked on Instagram, you won’t be able to send the account a direct message, and you won’t be able to see any of their direct messages.
