Now, you&#8217;d like to unblock that user and remove them from your list of followers. But how do you do it? First, you need to know the username of the blocked user. To find out, navigate to the explore page and type the username into the search bar. Once you&#8217;ve found the blocked account, select it and tap the Unblock Button to unblock the person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_a_user_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Unblocking a user on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In case you&#8217;ve accidentally blocked someone on Instagram, it&#8217;s very easy to remove their blocks by following them. Simply click on their profile to follow them. Once you&#8217;ve followed their profile, you can click the Unlock button to remove their block automatically. If you don&#8217;t want to follow that person, you can also unblock them on Facebook. To do so, follow them back and you&#8217;ll get an email when they unblock you.<\/p>\n<p>To unblock a user on Instagram, first go to their profile. If you&#8217;re using a desktop computer, you&#8217;ll want to log in and go to their profile. Once there, tap the three dots on the top right corner of their profile. From here, click Unblock. Alternatively, you can also right-click the user&#8217;s handle and tap the &#8220;Unblock&#8221; button. If you don&#8217;t have a desktop computer, you can still use this method.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_a_blocked_user_from_your_following_list\"><\/span>Removing a blocked user from your following list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone follows you, it may be time to remove them from your following list on Instagram. Blocking people won&#8217;t stop them from seeing your posts, but it can keep them from following you back. Here are a few ways you can do this:<\/p>\n<p>To remove a blocked user from your following list, tap on their name on your profile. If they don&#8217;t accept the request, you won&#8217;t see their posts or Instagram Stories. However, you can still send DMs to them and re-follow them. If the blocked user accepts your request, they&#8217;ll be notified. It&#8217;s that simple! So, how do you remove a blocked Instagram user?<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose to mute their account. This is useful if the user you&#8217;re following is rude or has a lot of followers. The unfollow button is not available everywhere, so you&#8217;ll need to check the settings on your phone to see whether it works. Also, the unfollow button is not visible on iPhones or Android phones. So, if the person who has blocked you has a private profile, you won&#8217;t notice a difference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessing_a_list_of_blocked_users_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Accessing a list of blocked users on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you use a Chromebook, accessing a list of blocked Instagram users is simple. You just need to login to your account and type in your username and password. Then, click the &#8220;Blocked&#8221; tab to see a list of blocked Instagram users. You may also want to consider using the Chromebook&#8217;s Guest Mode setting, which lets you view Instagram without a password. Once you&#8217;ve located the list, you can follow the blocked users and unblock them.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have a list of blocked accounts, you can use this information to unblock them. To access the list, first sign in to your Instagram account. After logging in, you can click on the profile picture of the blocked account to access its profile. From there, you can view posts made by that person. Note that you won&#8217;t be able to comment on or send a direct message to that person, but you will still be able to see their previous conversations. If the username has changed, you can also try searching for them to see if you can find their new username.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_suspicious_accounts_to_Instagram\"><\/span>Reporting suspicious accounts to Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to report accounts is through an email. This is a good option if you&#8217;ve been impersonated by an account. Using the email will also give Instagram an opportunity to investigate the account. If it turns out to be a fake account, it will be removed and the account owner will be contacted. Instagram will then investigate the matter and act if necessary. Here are some of the best ways to report a fake account.<\/p>\n<p>First, you can report accounts that you feel are abusive. You can report entire accounts, posts, comments, direct messages, or stories. The reporting process is anonymous. This means that the other account will not know who reported them. It&#8217;s important to report abuse to Instagram so that they can act accordingly.
