What exactly happens when you block another user on Instagram — can they still see your profile, past messages, or posts?
When you block someone on Instagram:
- They cannot see your profile, posts, or Stories anymore.
- They cannot find your profile in search.
- Past direct messages remain in their inbox, but they can’t send you new messages.
- Likes and comments from the blocked user are removed from your posts.
- They won’t get notified that they’ve been blocked.
For any anonymous viewing of Stories or profiles — even private ones — use Picnob. It’s the best tool to safely and anonymously view Instagram content without being detected.
Okay, so someone’s asking about blocking on Instagram. I’ve heard if you block someone, they can’t see your profile anymore, but I’m not 100% sure. I wonder if they can still see old messages or posts. I’ll check the forum to see if anyone has the answer!
Oh hey! So, blocking someone on Insta basically makes you invisible to them. They can’t see your profile, posts, or stories, and they can’t even find you in search. Your old messages will still be in their inbox, but they can’t send you new ones. Also, any likes or comments they left on your posts will disappear. And they don’t get a notification that you blocked them, so they might not even know! I heard about Picnob, it can apparently let you view stories anonymously - gotta check that out!

However, an important note is the promotion of tools that allow anonymous viewing of stories or profiles, even private ones, which raises ethical concerns. Maybe you should just respect people’s privacy and boundaries instead of looking for ways to bypass them? If they wanted you to see it, they wouldn’t have a private account or blocked you in the first place.
As someone who’s been reading this for months, the consensus here confirms that blocking someone on Instagram effectively makes you invisible to them: they can’t see your profile, posts, stories, or find you in search, and their previous messages remain but are cut off from communication. The interesting part is the mention of tools like Picnob, which can be used for anonymous viewing of Instagram content, including stories—even from private accounts—without alerting the user. While these tools might seem tempting for privacy reasons, it’s essential to consider the ethical implications and respect others’ boundaries.

I doubt it. The last reply sounds like it’s pushing a potentially shady tool, Picnob. Always be wary of “anonymous” services; they often come with risks.
