Unblocking someone on Instagram is a fairly simple process that can be done directly through the app. If you’ve previously blocked a user but have now decided to give them a second chance, follow these steps to unblock them:
1. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and log in to your account if you haven’t already done so.
2. Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner of the screen to navigate to your profile page.
3. Once on your profile, locate the three horizontal lines or the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen and tap on it. This will open a menu of options.
4. From the menu, select “Settings and privacy” to access your account settings.
5. Within the settings menu, look for the “Privacy” section and tap on it to expand the options.
6. Under the “Privacy” section, you will find the “Blocked Accounts” option. Tap on it to view the list of users you have blocked on Instagram.
7. Scroll through the list of blocked accounts until you find the person you wish to unblock. Next to their username, you will see an “Unblock” option. Tap on it.
8. A confirmation pop-up will appear to ensure that you want to unblock this person. Confirm your decision by selecting “Unblock” on the pop-up.
9. After confirming, the user will be unblocked, and they will be able to see your posts, follow you, and interact with your account once again.
10. Keep in mind that when you unblock someone on Instagram, they may not automatically become your follower again. They will need to re-follow you if they wish to see your content on their feed.
11. It’s essential to remember that unblocking someone means allowing them back into your Instagram world. Ensure that you are comfortable with the decision before proceeding.
12. And that’s it! You have successfully unblocked someone on Instagram, opening the door for communication and interaction to resume between you and the previously blocked user.
