The reasons for getting the<strong> &#8216;User Not Found&#8217; message<\/strong> can vary but in a nutshell, it means that the profile you&#8217;re attempting to visit is unavailable at the moment. If you try to access a person&#8217;s profile from Instagram&#8217;s desktop version, the same error can appear with the message <strong>&#8220;Sorry, this page isn&#8217;t available.&#8221;<\/strong> The error message implies that the user has blocked you,\u00a0 changed their username,\u00a0 deleted their account, their account is suspended, or their account is disabled.

Below is the list of the most probable reasons why you&#8217;re seeing the &#8220;user not found&#8221; error.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Account_Has_Been_Temporarily_Disabled\"><\/span>1. The Account Has Been Temporarily Disabled<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">We all know Instagram is an addictive place to be and sometimes people might want a break from it. Instagram does allow its users to take a break to get detox from social media. Many people might uninstall the app or log out of the account while some choose to<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/americbuzz.com\/how-to-temporarily-disable-instagram-account\/\"> temporarily disable their Instagram accounts<\/a><\/strong>. So there can be chances of you coming across a profile saying the<strong> &#8216;User Not Found&#8217;<\/strong> on Instagram then it might be because the person might have disabled their Instagram Account of their own will. Deactivating your account gives you the power to come back to the platform whenever you feel like it. This doesn&#8217;t apply that the person is permanently deleted from Instagram but it gives the user to temporarily deactivate their Instagram accounts as non-existent until they\u2019re reactivated.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Account_Might_Have_Been_Deleted\"><\/span>2. The Account Might Have Been Deleted.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Another most common reason why you are seeing a <strong>\u201cUser Not Found\u201d<\/strong> message is that the user has deleted their account. There can be any reason why someone decides to delete their Instagram account one being they have made a new Instagram account or just had enough of Instagram and do not want to use it further. So you can get the error message if the person has deleted their Instagram account of their own will.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Also, see: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/americbuzz.com\/use-instagram-audio-calling-feature\/\">How To Use Instagram Audio Calling Feature From Your Instagram Profile?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Instagram_Has_Deleted_The_Users_Account_Or_Banned_HimHer\"><\/span>3.

Instagram is very strict with its policies and guidelines and often bans account which promotes hate speech, abuses, illegal behavior, etc. So the chances are high that Instagram might have restricted the particular user&#8217;s account due to a violation of its policies and as a result, you are <strong>seeing the \u201cUser Not Found\u201d message<\/strong> while trying to visit such user&#8217;s profile.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_You_Might_Have_Mistyped_or_Misspelled_The_Username_Of_The_Person\"><\/span>4. You Might Have Mistyped or Misspelled The Username Of The Person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Instagram usernames are very unique and at the same time hard to spell and type. This increases the chances of mistyping the username of the person on the search bar. This might also cause you to get the <strong>\u201cUser Not Found\u201d<\/strong> feedback when trying to access the profile of such a user because you\u2019ve missed a letter or character in their username.\u00a0 In such cases we recommend you to cross-check the spelling properly and then search for the person. Or else you can also search for other accounts that are Mutual with them and search for the username in their follower or following list.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_User_Might_Have_Changed_Their_Username\"><\/span>5. The User Might Have Changed Their Username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">There can be instances that the user might have decided to change their user name for whatsoever reason and due to this change the chances of getting the<strong> \u201cUser Not Found\u201d<\/strong> feedback when trying to access the profile increases. In such cases we recommend you to connect with the person through some other mode and ask them their new updated username.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_You_Might_Have_Been_Blocked_By_The_User\"><\/span>6. You Might Have Been Blocked By The User<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">If none of the above-given reasons explains why you\u2019re getting the<strong> \u201cUser Not Found\u201d<\/strong> notice when trying to access a user\u2019s profile, then chances are you\u2019ve been blocked by the user.
