If you are a user of the photography social network par excellence, Instagram, you will already know that everything is joy when you get a new follower. The application alerts you with a notification, shows you his username, and gives you the option to follow him as well, if you wish.
This is nice. In addition, having more followers motivates you to continue uploading content, taking care of the quality of what we upload and that we are all happy that they recognize that they like your work, of course. But what happens when one of those followers leaves, and stops following us?
We do not receive any notice, we have no record of that cruel abandonment, and also if we do not investigate a little we will never even know who has stopped following us on our Instagram. But this has a solution since there are a series of methods to find out who has dared to abandon us to our fate, stop seeing our great content and the stories so fantastic that we went up.
That is why we are going to see today how to find out who stopped following us.
As we said nothing and nobody notifies us who has stopped following or blocked us in this social network, But it is easy to know if someone in particular has performed that action for our pain and that it can cause us great sadness and pain.
However, let's not put ourselves in the worst case, since it may be that the user who we are checking that has stopped following us has paused his account or has finally decided to unsubscribe from Instagram. Everything is possible. So Let's not get sad and let's see what methods we can use to check it.
Method number 1: Profile search
The first thing we must do is start a search for the user profile in question. That is, if we want to know if a specific person has blocked us, or stopped following us, we must write their username in the search engine and if it does not yield any results then there may be two possibilities: has temporarily or permanently deleted your user profile on Instagram or has effectively blocked you on Instagram.
Method number 2: Alternative search
To confirm the first step, We can ask a friend to carry out a search with his user for that specific profile, or use a second account that we have on Instagram. If once the search is done, that person appears then we have bad news. This means that you have been blocked on Instagram.
But if, on the contrary, it does not appear in the alternative search, it may be that the user we are looking for from Instagram has been able to delete their account, and because of this we do not have access to your profile or the option to view your photos. But it will be generalized for anyone who follows that profile, at least until they reactivate their account, if they do so at some point.
Method number 3: Locate your Stories
The stories that Instagram can upload to profiles are a fresh, fun and dynamic tool, and many of the users tend to fill this section with content, Therefore, if that user we are looking for is assiduous to upload those stories (or stories as you prefer to call them) to their profile, and you have stopped seeing them ... it may be another way to confirm that you have been blocked on the network.
Unfortunately we must get used to the idea, or try to find out what we have done to upset him if that has happened. We will not make a drama of this either, life can be wonderful.
Method number 4: private messages
Another way to find out if our hearts have been broken is through private messages. Instagram allows us to send private messages, as if it were a messaging application, to our friends and followers. We just have to look for the user that we think has blocked us and try to send him a direct and private message.
If by doing so you cannot send them these messages and another message appears with the words "this user is not available" ... I regret to inform you that the person in question has blocked you. But do not despair that there will always be more fish in the sea.
Method number 5: Search through the computer
An interesting and discreet way that you can make to know if you've been blocked on Instagram It is precisely, access or enter Instagram from your computer or PC. Access your account and from your computer begins the specific search for that user we suspect.
If you find it and you can also access that profile, if it is public of course, then I am sorry to inform you that that person has definitely blocked you from Instagram. This means that he blocked you from his smartphone, using the app for it, and not from a computer or PC, so you can search the profile and find it, but unfortunately you will not be able to follow it, it will not even give you the option.
In short, remember that if someone blocked us it could be for a thousand different reasons, you just have to know how to accept it and look for more followers who know how to value our Instagram profile, or simply canceled their account and decided to go to other less friendly networks.
