No, once you block someone on Instagram, you won't receive their messages, even if they try to send them. Blocking essentially cuts off all communication from that user. If you want to restrict interactions but still see messages, consider using the 'Restrict' feature. This way, their messages will be moved to your Message Requests, and they won’t be notified if you read them.
