How to Know If Someone Blocked You on Instagram

It's really annoying when you came to know that someone has blocked you on Instagram. You won't be able to see their profile and send a message. Moreover, Instagram will also delete your old conversation without your consent.

Due to privacy reasons, Instagram doesn't send any notification when you get blocked. If you are unable to find any person in your profile, it is not necessary that you have been blocked. It might also be possible that the person has either unfollowed you or deactivated his account.

Here are 2 simple ways that can help you to find out if someone has actually blocked you on Instagram.

Check if you have been blocked using the username

It's quite easy to find out if someone has blocked you when you know the username of that person. Follow this step-by-step guide - 

• Open Google Chrome app or any other web browser in your phone.
• Go to the Instagram website and login to your account.
• Now type the web address given below in the URL tab and replace username with the username of the person who you want to find out if he/she has blocked you.

https://www.instagram.com/username

• If the webpage displays an error message as shown in the below picture, then it might be possible that you have been blocked.

This error may also occur if the person has deactivated his account or the username doesn't exist.

• To verify further, logout of your Instagram account and try to visit the webpage again. If the profile is loading and you didn't get any error message, then it's for sure that you have been blocked by that person.

When you don't know the username

Sometimes, you don't know the username of the person. In that case, try to find out the username from other social media accounts like Facebook. Still if you don't get the username, we have another simple workaround to find out if the person has blocked you or not

First, search the person's name on your Instagram account and then search it from your friend's account. It's better to use your mutual friend's account who you know is already following or followed by that person. If you can find the person from your friend's account and not from yours, then you have been blocked.

That's how you can find out if someone has blocked you on Instagram. You can also check:

How to View Hidden Photos on Facebook

Facebook is the biggest social networking site ever created with over 1.94 billion active users who upload around 300 million photos per day and these numbers are getting higher and higher by the time.

Facebook also faces security and privacy threats each day and they are constantly working to make it safer and private since the Facebook is highly concerned about user’s privacy and they do whatever it takes it to more private.

Out of thousands of privacy bugs on Facebook, I talked about one where a user can see the private friend list of someone by doing a graph search and there was a Google Chrome Extension to automate this task but this privacy bug has been fixed and the extension was removed from the Chrome Webstore.

While doing some browsing on Graph search of Facebook I came across a simple graph search which allows you to see someone’s hidden photos on Facebook.

Once I say hidden photos it means hidden to you but not to everyone, it also doesn’t mean that you can see someone’s private photos on Facebook.

If you are not a friend with someone then you can’t see the photos in which they are tagged by their friends even if those photos are public.

How to Reveal Someone’s Hidden Photos on Facebook

Revealing hidden photos means “Seeing someone’s photos that are somewhere public but not visible to you”.

As an example, your friend uploaded a group photo publicly and tagged you into the photo which would be visible to you, your friends and everyone who check your friend’s photos.

But if someone checks your timeline they won’t be able to see that group photo since it is not shared by you.

By any chance, if someone wants to see your photos where you are tagged in, then first they have to check all of your friend’s photos which is hectic and impossible if your friend list is hidden.

Did your friends tagged you in an ugly group photo but you decided to hide it from the timeline? Or your friend may be looking good but you are like a potato then what? Hide it from the timeline? Of course.

But this trick is going to uncover your potato face to your friends if they come to know about it. And also you can see all photos of someone on Facebook.

Follow these steps to See Hidden Photos of Someone on Facebook.

1. Go to the timeline of the person whose hidden photos you want to reveal.

    It should be like https://www.facebook.com/username

2. Now you have to find the numeric Facebook ID of that user. Get this FB_id easy From here

3. Do a graph search on Facebook like – www.facebook.com/search/facebook_id/photos-of/

You just need to replace the faceook_id with the real numeric ID.

Now you are viewing hidden photos of the target profile.

Example of Graph Search to View Hidden Photos on Facebook

As an example, I am taking this Profile to show you the process. https://www.facebook.com/openhow [You can see there are very fewer photos are visible]

Now I will find the Numeric ID of above profile by checking the URL which contains the ID.

So I got the Facebook ID for the above profile which is 593892447305450

To reveal the hidden photos you need to perform a Graph search on Facebook like 

https://www.facebook.com/search/Numeric_ID/photos-of

To see hidden photos of the above profile I have to make the URL looks like this 

https://www.facebook.com/search/593892447305450/photos-of/ now copy the URL and paste in the address bar of your browser and hit enter.

From here, you would be able to see hidden photos of the above profile. If you check the revealed photos then you will notice that these photos are public where the target user is tagged.

This graph search will list all the photos at one place whether they or hidden or shared with you, you can simply scroll down and view photos on Facebook.
