There are times when, while looking at the Stories of our contacts on Instagram, we miss someone. What happen? And it's strange, because his account is active, he continues to upload photos to his wall as normal... but his stories don't appear. Why? Has he stopped doing them? Has he blocked us? Here we are: here we are going to teach you how to discover if you have been blocked from Instagram Stories.
How to Block Someone on Instagram Stories
Before getting into the subject, we are going to teach you precisely how to prevent someone from seeing your Stories on Instagram. Only the Stories, be careful, your Instagram feed will continue to see it but you don't want it to be able to see everything you tell through the ephemeral stories of Intagram. The procedure you must follow is the following.
First, we are going to open the Instagram application and we are going to go to our profile screen, that is, we will press the silhouette iconthat we find in the lower bar of the same.
Later, click on the menu with three lines that we have in the upper right part. A side window will open where we will click on 'Settings',the gear-shaped icon that we can see in the lower right part.
Now it is the section of 'History' that interests us. In it we are going to select those users from whom we want to hide our Stories. We simply click on 'Hide story from' and select the person (or people) that we do not want to see the videos we make. This way you will only have blocked whoever you want in the Stories.
How to know if you have been blocked in Instagram Stories
There is no infallible method, or an application, that will tell you 100% if you have been blocked by someone from their stories, but we can use some that another way to find out For example, ask a friend to find the contact you suspect may have blocked you. If you've uploaded Stories and he can see them, we're sorry to tell you that you've been hidden from his stories.
Another way to find out if you've been blocked from stories is to create another Instagram account, associated with another email.As in the previous case: if we can see the Stories in that other account without problems, it means that you have been blocked in your main one.
Let's continue: if you enter the desktop version of Instagram on a computer and, in incognito mode, you can see the Stories of the suspicious account, is that you have been blocked on your mobile.
Basically, these are the three easiest ways to tell if a user has hidden you from their Ephemeral Stories. If you discover that someone has done it with you, we recommend that before you do anything, take a breath and reflect. Why did they hide their Stories from me? Think about the real reasons that person might have for acting in such a way. Do you have a close relationship or are you just acquaintances? Have you had any bad experiences in the past? Or do you know for sure that some of their opinions may bother you and it was a 'preventive block' to avoid bad feelings between you?
Any blocking action on networks is usually of a preventive nature. Don't take it personally and if you doubt the blocker's intentions or think you may have done something wrong, talk to them personally. People understand each other by talking, right?
