When you block someone on Instagram, they will no longer be able to see your profile, posts, or stories. This means that any messages you have sent them will also become invisible to them. Essentially, blocking someone on Instagram is a way to completely cut off communication and prevent them from accessing your content.
However, it’s important to note that blocking someone does not automatically delete any messages or conversations you’ve had with them. If you had previous messaging threads with the person you blocked, those conversations will still be visible in your Direct inbox. This is because Instagram wants to preserve the integrity of your conversations and not delete any past interactions.
While the blocked person won’t be able to see your messages or start new conversations with you, you also won’t be able to message them. It creates a one-sided communication block, ensuring that you have control over who can contact you on the platform.
It’s worth mentioning that if you decide to change your username after blocking someone, they won’t be able to mention or tag you unless they know your new username. This adds an extra layer of privacy and makes it more difficult for the blocked person to track your activities on Instagram.
When you block someone on Instagram, they lose access to your profile, posts, stories, and any messages you have sent them. Your messaging threads with the blocked person will remain in your Direct inbox, but you won’t be able to message them anymore. Changing your username after blocking someone further restricts their ability to mention or tag you unless they are aware of your new username.
