Hello,

In case I have 2 separate Instagram accounts on the same device.

let's call them user1 and user2.

now, I followed user3 from my user2 (but not from user1).

then, user3 blocked user2 (and while he blocked, he clicked on 'block user and all includes new accounts they may have created').

so right now, I also can't search for user3 from my user1 (because user1 and user2 are logged on same device).

so:

user3 blocked user2 and all the associations.

user2 can't search for user3 now.

user1 can't search for user3 (because he's associate with user2).

in case user3 search user2, will get his page and will see the button 'unblock'.

my question is:

what happen if user3 search for user1?

will he be able to find user1?


Windows / Chrome 122.0.0.0

In case, if user3 blocked user2 and all related accounts, then user1 might be blocked too. So, if user3 looks for user1, they might not find them. It depends on if Instagram thinks user1 and user2 are connected.
