When you're blocked on Instagram, you can't find the person's profile using search; their profile appears as 'User not found' or doesn't show up at all. Additionally, if you visit their profile directly from a previous comment or like, it will display no posts, even though the post count might still be visible. Direct messages with the person will also remain but you cannot send new messages to them.
