- Unblock the Person Temporarily:
- Go to your profile: Tap your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Access Settings: Tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) in the top right, then tap Settings.
- Privacy Settings: Tap Privacy.
- Blocked Accounts: Tap Blocked Accounts to see the list of users you’ve blocked.
- Unblock: Find the person you want to view, then tap Unblock. Confirm the action.
- Search for the Person:
- After unblocking, go to the search bar and type their username to find their profile.
- View the Profile:
- You can now view their profile and content. Remember that they can see your profile and content too until you block them again.
- Reblock if Necessary:
- If you don’t want them to know you’ve viewed their profile, you can block them again after viewing. Simply go back to their profile, tap the three dots in the top right, and select Block.
Using a Secondary Account
If you don’t want to unblock the person and prefer a more discreet way, you can use a secondary account:
- Create a Secondary Account: Log out of your current account and create a new one or switch to an existing secondary account.
- Search for the Person: Use the search function to find their profile.
- View the Profile: View their public content without them knowing it’s you.
Important Considerations
- Privacy: Be mindful of the privacy and ethical considerations when viewing someone’s profile, especially if they are unaware.
- Mutual Blocking: If both you and the other person have blocked each other, unblocking them temporarily should allow you to search and view their profile.
By following these steps, you can view the profile of someone you’ve blocked, but always consider the privacy and mutual respect aspects when doing so.
