Instagram is a social media platform where users can share photos and videos with friends. It\u2019s also a great way to connect with people from all over the world. But what happens if you start seeing posts from friends that you can\u2019t follow? Chances are, they\u2019ve been restricted. In this article, we\u2019ll show you how to know if someone has restricted you on Instagram the easy way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few ways to know if someone has you on restricted on Instagram. The easiest way is to open up the Instagram app and go to your profile. If you see a blue icon with a white line across it in the top-right corner of your profile, that means you are restricted from interacting with other users. If you have multiple accounts and one of them is restricted, you will only be able to view or post content from that account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re one of the many Instagram users who have been restricted from seeing certain posts, follow these simple steps to determine if it’s something you did wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have restricted someone on Instagram, they will not be able to see your posts unless they un-restrict you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve been restricted on Instagram, there’s a good chance that the person who did it is still interested in talking to you. Here’s how to know for sure: Log in to your account and look at your profile. Under “See All” on the left, select “Account Settings.” Look for the “Restricted Mode” switch and make sure it’s set to “Off.” If it’s not, send a message to the person who restricted you and ask if they would please turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re having trouble seeing your posts on Instagram, there may be a simple solution. You can restrict other people from seeing your posts, too. Here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Open Instagram on your phone or computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Tap on the three lines in the top left corner of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. On the “Settings” tab, scroll down and tap on “Privacy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Under “Who can see my posts?” select “No one.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Tap on “Save changes” at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking means you remove someone from your list of followers. Restricting means that you limit the amount of time, number of posts or number of comments that someone can have on your posts. Here’s how to know if someone has restricted you on Instagram:
If you see a message that says “This user has been restricted,” it means that this user has been given limited access to post, like or comment on your posts. To un-restrict this user, follow these steps:
1. Open Instagram and tap on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Select Settings from the menu that pops up.
3. Under “Account Settings,” tap on “General.”
4. Under “Restricted Mode,” tap on “Remove User.” (Note: If this is the first time you’ve removed a user, Instagram will ask you to confirm that you want to do this.)
5. Tap on the name of the user you want to un-restrict and then tap OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re unable to message someone on Instagram, and you think they may have restricted your account, there are a few things you can do to check. First, open up the app and sign in. If the person you want to message is not listed in your contacts, or if their profile hasn\u2019t been updated in a while, then they likely have restrictions on their account. Next, head to their profile and look for the \u201cRestrictions\u201d button. It will show you a list of all the places they\u2019ve been restricted from messaging, including Instagram itself. If they\u2019re not on that list and you think they might have restrictions on their account, try messaging them anyway \u2013 sometimes people forget they\u2019ve put restrictions on themselves and remove them later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re seeing fewer likes on your posts than you would expect, there’s a good chance someone is restricting you on Instagram. Restricted users don’t see all of the posts that others do, and they can’t follow or like other accounts. To find out if someone is restricting you, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Open Instagram and sign in.
2. Look at your profile page. On the left side, under “Posts” (or “My Posts”), you’ll see a list of all the posts you’ve made.
3. Notice how many likes each post has.
4. Compare the number of likes on posts that are public (viewable by everyone) to the number of likes on posts that are restricted (viewable only by the person who locked them). If the number of likes on restricted posts is much lower than the number of likes on public posts, it’s likely that someone is restricting you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re concerned someone on Instagram has restricted your account, there are a few things you can do to check. First, open up the Instagram app and sign into your account. If you don’t have access to it, you can also try using an app like FollowerLabs or Snooze that will help you see who’s following and unfollowing your posts. You can also try looking for any suspicious accounts that may have been created recently (within the last week or two) and following them just to be safe. Finally, if all else fails, reach out to Instagram directly via their customer service page. They’ll be able to help investigate and potentially restore your account if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
