Sometimes, negative influence, harassment, and spams prompt us to block users since you cannot stand them on your account. However, this may not always be the case, and it may be due to personal reasons. So, if you change your mind or for other reasons, you may want to view blocked accounts on Threads.
As you know, after you block someone on Threads, you will completely remove the connection with that person. This means they can’t see your Profile or content and cannot interact with you in any form.
This is also the case for Instagram since both platforms are connected to one account. That’s why blocking someone on either of them does the same for the other side.
However, what to do if you mistakenly block someone on Instagram while only trying to do so on Threads? Well, whether you make a mistake, change your mind, or want to review, viewing blocked accounts is necessary.
So, this article will help you find the blocked list on the Threads and Instagram accounts to use it to your advantage. Meanwhile, let’s also learn to view Threads without an account if you are interested.

What does a Blocked Threads Account look like?
If you block someone on Threads, you will only see the upper parts of their Profile page. This means you can still look at their username, name, and Profile picture.
However, without unblocking that account, you cannot see any posts, comments, likes, or replies from that person. Remember, you aren’t only blocking them from accessing your content. Instead, it works both ways.
So, after you block an account, you can only view the small header with basic info on that profile. However, finding and seeing your Profile is impossible for the other party.
How to Unblock Someone on Threads?

Remember, you must know the full username to find someone. After seeing it, tap it to open their Profile page and press the “Unblock” button.
If you have multiple persons to unblock from your account, you can instead go directly to the blocked list.
For this, tap the menu from the top right on your Profile page and select “Privacy.” Now, choose the “Blocked” option from the list, and you will find all the users.
Now, find the person by scrolling through the list and tap the “Unblock” button next to that username to remove the ban.
Note: Unblocking an account on Threads will automatically unblock that person on Insta and vice versa. So, you don’t need to repeat this step once you do this on one of your apps.
