Instagram users have the ability to block other users in order to prevent them from being able to interact with them on the photo- and video-sharing platform. Users can view all of the accounts they’ve blocked on their private blocked list. While viewing this list, they’ll have the option to unblock accounts they’ve previously blocked.

Our guide will show you how to see the users you’ve blocked in the Instagram application.
