You can view people you've blocked on Instagram, but it's not immediately accessible from your profile. To see the list of blocked accounts, you'll need to go to the Instagram settings.

Go to your Instagram profile, tap the three horizontal lines on the top right corner, and select "Settings" from the menu. From the settings page, scroll down to the "Account" section.

In the "Account" section, tap on "Blocked Accounts" to view the list of people you've blocked. This list will include the names and profiles of the accounts you've blocked.

Viewing Blocked Accounts

Alternatively, you can also find your blocked accounts by clicking on your profile avatar in the top right corner, then choosing Edit Profile, and navigating to the bottom Privacy and Security section, where you can click View next to Blocked Accounts.

Over 5.7 million account blocks happen per day on Instagram, so chances are your block list contains at least a couple accounts.

  2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner of the screen.

Unblocking Someone

Unblocking someone on Instagram can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've got you covered.

You can unblock someone on Instagram by going to their profile and tapping the three horizontal dots on the top right corner, then selecting "Unblock" from the dropdown menu.

First, make sure you're logged in to your Instagram account.

To unblock someone, you don't need to know their Instagram password or any other sensitive information.

If you've blocked someone and then unblocked them, you won't be able to see their posts or stories, but they will still be able to see yours.

Unblocking someone doesn't mean you're automatically following them.
