What Happens When You Block Someone on Instagram

When you block someone on Instagram, the person that you have blocked will no longer be able to post anything on your timeline or see your posts and stories on Instagram.

Instagram does not notify people when anyone blocks them. Hence, the person that you have blocked will not immediately know that you have blocked him/her.

The Blocked person will still be able to mention your User Name on Instagram, but the mention won’t appear in your activity. In case you change your User Name, the blocked person won’t be able to mention you without knowing your New User Name.

As mentioned above, you can always Unblock someone on Instagram, in case you happen to change your mind.
