To determine if someone blocked you on Instagram or deactivated their account, check if their profile still appears in search results or through a mutual friend's following list. If it doesn't, they may have blocked you or deactivated their account. Another telling sign is trying to access their profile through direct links (if you remember their username); a message saying ‘User not found’ could suggest blocking or deactivation. For a more definitive answer, if you can see their profile from another account but not yours, it’s likely you’ve been blocked.
