How To Get Unblocked On Instagram:

If you’ve blocked someone on Instagram, that person won’t be able to send you direct messages or tag you in any posts.

You can attempt these methods to get unblocked on Instagram:

1. Changing Email ID

To unblock yourself from someone’s Instagram account, create a new Instagram account with a valid email ID that’s different from your previous registered email.

Simply add a new account to your existing Instagram app using this new email ID. Here’s how:

• Tap your profile photo at the bottom right.
• Then tap the three horizontal bars at the top right.
• Select “Settings” and scroll down to tap “Add Account.”
• Use the new email ID and submit to create the account.

2. Change the Username

When creating a new account, the initial step is choosing a username unique from your previous Instagram account.

Ensuring the uniqueness of this username is crucial, especially because your previous account has been blocked.

Remember, once the account is created, changing your username allows the new account to be associated with that specific username.

3. Create the Account with Previous ID

After creating a new Instagram account with a new email ID and username, the next step is transferring the account username to the previous one.

Once completed, you’ll observe multiple accounts added—your current and the previous account. From your new account, you’ll be able to locate the person who blocked you.

4. Change Username to Previous One

After creating a new Instagram account with a different username and email ID, you might wonder if you can add your previous username to your current account.

Certainly, you can always change your username whenever you wish, provided the desired username is available for use.

Once you engage in a conversation with someone who blocked your previous Instagram account, you can revert to your previous username. The primary reason for this change is to ensure visibility in searches, considering your username might be associated with other social media accounts or other users.

To change your username, simply navigate to your Instagram profile page and tap on the ‘Edit Profile’ option. From there, you can modify your username to the previous one if available.

5. Send Person Request

Once you’ve finished creating a new Instagram account with a new email ID and reverted to your previous username, the next step is ensuring you’re unblocked on someone’s Instagram account.

To send a follow request to the person who blocked your previous IG account, simply search for them from your new Instagram account using the app’s search bar, then send a follow request.

6. You’re Now Unblocked

If you’ve sent a follow request from your new Instagram account using your previous username, the next step is to wait for the person to accept your request.

Once the request is accepted, you regain access to view their posts that were previously hidden from your blocked account.

Additionally, you can send them direct messages, make calls, and video chat with that person on Instagram.

Successfully performing these functions using your new Instagram account under your previous username indicates that you are no longer blocked.
