What Happens When You Block Someone on Instagram
When you block someone on Instagram, that blocked user will not be able to message or follow you. And also that user won’t be able to find your profile, posts, or Stories. Not only that they won’t be able to mention your username or tag you anywhere.
But if you like or comment on posts shared by public accounts or the accounts they follow, people that you block can still see them.
After you block someone, all likes and comments made by that user will be removed from your photos and videos. But your old chats with that blocked user will not be deleted.
