Instagram doesn't notify users when they are blocked by someone but, there are ways to check it. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Obi-@pixel8propix)

Search feature: A possible reason why you cannot find someone’s profile on Instagram is that they have blocked you or changed their username. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Eyestetix Studio)

Check from another account: Try to find them using another account and in case they appear from another account but not yours then you might be blocked. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Alexander Shatov)

Open their profile on web: Every user has a unique profile link that includes their username. Type 'instagram.com/username'. If you get a “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” either the account does not exist, or they might have blocked you. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Sam)

Mention or tag their account: Instagram does not allow you to tag or mention people if they have blocked you. To check, try to mention or tag them in a message. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Deeksha Pahariya)

Search for mentions on your profile: Instagram retains your previous conversations and comments. To check if you've been blocked by someone you were in touch with, check mentions. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Kenny Eliason)

Follow them again: Click on the follow button on their profile, if it changes from ‘following’ to ‘follow’ after a few seconds, they have blocked you. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Warren Umoh)

Check DMs: Head over to the DM section and open their conversation. Now, tap on their username, if it appears as 'Instagram User', you might've been blocked. (Image Source: Unsplash/@Eyestetix Studio)
