Am I Blocked? Checker
Suspect someone blocked you? Tick the signs you're seeing on Instagram, Snapchat, or WhatsApp and get an evidence-weighted verdict — plus the one test that settles it for sure.
Check every sign that matches what you see:
Check the signs
Tick the boxes on the left as you verify each sign in the app.
Definitive test for Instagram
The strongest single test: search their exact @username while logged in, then check the same URL (instagram.com/username) from a logged-out browser. Visible logged-out but not logged-in = you are blocked.
How to use it
- 1
Pick the platform
Instagram, Snapchat, or WhatsApp — each has different block behavior.
- 2
Verify each sign
Open the app and check the signals one by one.
- 3
Read your verdict
The checker weighs the evidence and estimates how likely a block is.
- 4
Run the definitive test
One conclusive check per platform confirms it.
Why there's no official "blocked" notification
No platform tells you when you have been blocked — by design. Blocking is meant to be a quiet safety feature, so apps deliberately make a block look similar to an account being deleted, deactivated, or set to private. That ambiguity is why the reliable approach is combining several signals rather than trusting any single one, which is exactly what this checker does.
Blocked vs deactivated vs restricted
The three states get confused constantly. Blocked: their account exists for everyone except you. Deactivated or deleted: the account is gone for everyone — check from a logged-out browser or a friend's account to tell these apart. Restricted (Instagram) or muted: you can see everything normally and will probably never notice — these are designed to be invisible to you. If a profile loads fine in incognito but not from your account, that is the blocked signature.
Avoid "who blocked me" apps
Third-party apps promising a list of people who blocked you do not work — platforms expose no such data — and many exist to steal credentials or push subscriptions. Every check on this page uses only what you can see yourself in the official apps, and none of it notifies the other person.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if someone blocked me on Instagram?+
The clearest combination: their profile doesn't appear when you search their exact username, or it opens showing “No posts yet” despite them being active, and your old DM thread shows their name as unavailable. Confirm by opening instagram.com/their-username in a logged-out or incognito browser — if the profile loads there but not in your account, you are blocked.
What's the difference between being blocked and them deactivating their Instagram?+
If the account is deactivated, it is invisible to everyone — including logged-out browsers and your friends' accounts. If you are blocked, the profile still exists for everyone else. That is why the incognito test and checking from a friend's account settle it.
How do I know if someone blocked me on Snapchat?+
Blocked: they disappear from your friends list AND username search finds nothing, while a friend's account can still find them. If you were only removed as a friend (not blocked), their username still shows up in your search results.
How do I know if someone blocked me on WhatsApp?+
Look for the combination: your messages permanently show one check mark, their profile photo and last seen disappear, calls never connect, and you get an error adding them to a group. Any single sign can be a privacy setting; all of them together strongly indicates a block. The group-add test is the most reliable single check.
Can I see a list of who blocked me?+
No platform provides a list of accounts that blocked you, and any app claiming to show one is a scam — often harvesting your login. The only way to know is checking the signs for a specific account, like this tool walks you through.
Will the person know I checked?+
No. Everything this checker asks you to verify — searching a username, viewing a profile from a logged-out browser, checking message ticks — is invisible to the other person.
Does restricting on Instagram look like blocking?+
No. If someone restricts you, you can still see their profile and posts normally — your comments just become invisible to others and your DMs land in their requests. Restriction is designed to be undetectable, while blocking hides their whole profile from you.
