Yes, you can be blocked if you delete your Instagram account and create a new one. Users or accounts that had blocked you previously may still have blocks applied to the new account if Instagram's algorithms detect similarities in IP address, device, or user behavior. Consider changing your IP and device or contact support for help.
FAQs & Answers
- Will deleting my Instagram account prevent others from blocking me? No, deleting your Instagram account does not guarantee that previous blocks will be lifted, as blocking can be linked to your device, IP address, or behavior patterns.
- How can I avoid being blocked when creating a new Instagram account? To reduce the risk of being blocked, try using a different device, change your IP address, and avoid suspicious behavior that might trigger Instagram's algorithms.
- Does Instagram notify you if you are blocked? Instagram does not send a notification when you are blocked by another user; however, you will notice limited interaction with that user's profile.
