    How to Unblock Someone on Instagram

    You can avoid conversation and interaction with Instagram users by blocking them. However, if you change your mind or accidentally blocked the wrong user, you may need to unblock them. Regardless of the reason, if you’ve made up your mind to unblock an account, we’ll guide you through several ways to do so.

    Note: Unblocking an account will not restore the user in your followers/following list. You have to send a request to follow the account.

    Through Direct Message

    You can also unblock an account from your list of DMs. However, this method will only work if you’ve not deleted the conversation with the blocked account. The Blocked accounts will have the Instagram User as their profile name instead of their actual profile names.

    On Mobile

    1. Launch the Instagram app.
    2. Tap the messenger icon.
      open-messenger
    3. Open the conversation with the blocked account.
    4. Tap on the Unblock option.
      unblock
    5. Select Unblock on the given prompt.
      unblock-button

    On PC

    1. Open Instagram on your web browser and log into your account.
    2. Switch to the Messages tab.
      open-messages
    3. Open the conversation with the blocked account.
    4. Click on Instagram User.

    5. Click on the Unblock button.
      unblock-button
    6. Select Unblock to confirm the prompt.
      unblock-prompt
    7. Click on Dismiss.

    Through Instagram Settings

    You can control different aspects and features from Instagram settings. In the Settings menu, you can view the list of all the blocked accounts and unblock them within the list.

    1. Launch Instagram.
    2. Switch to your profile section.
    3. Tap the three horizontal lines icon.
      click-3-lines
    4. Select Settings.
      settings
    5. Tap on Privacy.

    6. Scroll down and open Blocked accounts.

    7. Tap the Unblock button beside the profile that you wish to unblock.

    8. Select Unblock to confirm the prompt.
      unblock-prompt
    9. If prompted tap on Dismiss.

    Through Profile

    Unlike the web version of Instagram, blocked accounts can appear on search results on the mobile version. So, you can unblock accounts by looking them up on the search feed.

    1. Launch Instagram.
    2. Switch to the Explore tab by pressing the magnifying glass icon.
    3. Type the blocked profile name on the search bar and open the profile.
    4. Tap the Unblock button.
      unblock-from-profile
      You can also tap the three dots icon at the top right corner and select Unblock.
    5. Press Unblock to confirm the given prompt.
      unblock-prompt-2
    6. Press Dismiss or the Ok button.
      dismiss
