Instagram is a popular social media app, recently they’ve introduced a new feature of restricting accounts.
This feature work like this – if someone restricted your profile, then you won’t be able to comment. If you send them a message, they won’t get any notification. Overall, Instagram will try to minimize your interaction, like they won’t see your post or story on their feed.
Now, if someone is blocked you can tell by going to that person’s profile, you won’t be able to see their bio, post, and profile picture.
But the problem with the restriction feature is you can see all these, but you won’t be able to interact.
No worries, there is an easy way to see if someone has restricted your Instagram account or not.
