How to determine the presence of lock in Instagram
Method 1: Voluntary Unlock
Provided to return the user's name to the search results list is easiest due to voluntary unlock, sending a certain way with a request to remove restrictions. As an easy to guess, this option does not guarantee anything, and it is not always available because of the blocking, which applies to the direct.
Separately, we note that before proceeding to any actions, you should make sure that you generally enter user data correctly. At the same time, you should always use login, as it is a unique, and not a familiar name that can be changed without restrictions.
Method 2: Account Checking
If it is not possible to find the user in the usual way, you can try to shift the account. If you successfully transition to the account you can get acquainted with previously inaccessible publications, in addition, making sure that the problem lies in blocking.
In the absence of an additional account, as well as the desire to create a new one, you can use the browser version of the social network by inserting the sought -mashable user after the domain name. It is best to do this without authorization in the same way as shown in our example on the screenshot.
Method 3: User Comments
Alternatively, if you cannot transition directly by reference or find an account using an additional account, you should perform a user search for activity. You can do this as in comments that were left by a person earlier and just by the presence of a page in the list of subscriptions or subscribers.
In the comments, for example, access restrictions and display errors do not apply, and therefore, if the user profile still exists, you will find the appropriate message. Otherwise, it is very high the chance that the account owner simply completed the removal, and for this reason it became unavailable through the search.
In addition to deleting, the reason for the lack of a user among the search results can be the fact that the owner simply changed the current name using the appropriate account settings. In this case, you can check and search for a person in this case by the previously mentioned comments, focusing not on the names, but on the text of the messages.
Method 4: Search through third-party funds
As an additional solution, you can try third-party services that allow you to view user accounts from Instagram without registration. If you can find a person by name on such resources, you can safely discard any options other than blocking.
