If your comment isn’t visible to your friend but you’re able to see it just fine, the post’s creator likely restricted your account. If the post has a lot of comments, it might be tricky for your friend to find the one you left. Make sure your friend check’s the comment list thoroughly before jumping to conclusions. If the person restricted you, they’ll see “restricted comment” instead of your actual comment. If they want, they can tap the See comment link below this message and choose to Approve or Delete it.

This isn’t the most reliable way to find out if you’re restricted as many people disable Activity Status for privacy reasons. But if you’ve always been able to see statuses like “Active yesterday” “Active 30m ago” but don’t now, it’s possible they’ve restricted you.

This can be a tricky way to determine whether you’re restricted, as some people don’t read their Instagram messages right away. However, if the person has been quick to respond in the past but no longer opens your messages, they’ve likely restricted you.

If someone is harassing you on Instagram, don’t hesitate to block and report them.
