Pinterest is a social media site where you can share images and discover cool new things. Since it is a social media site, you can interact with other users through things like commenting, liking, and following. Along with these features, there is also a block feature that allows users to block others from preforming certain actions on their profile. If you are a Pinterest user, and want to find out if someone has blocked you, then you've come to the right place. This article will explain how to find out if a user did, indeed, block you.
Steps
Trying to Follow the User
-
1Go to the user's profile page.
-
2Try to follow the user. There should be a red "follow" button underneath their information. Click on the button.Advertisement
-
3See if you get an error message. If you get an error that says, "Error following [username].", then it's likely that you've been blocked.
- If you are able to follow them, you are not blocked.

QuestionWhat can I do about being blocked?
R2_d2000Top AnswererNothing really. If you have been blocked, then that means that the user does not want to interact with you. You cannot message them and you can't interact with them in any way. If you know them in real life, and the block was the result of an argument, then you could try to make up with them. But other than that, you really don't have any other options.
Warnings
- Do not try to create new accounts to circumvent the block. This violates the Pinterest Community guidelines, and it may result in all of your accounts being banned.[2]⧼thumbs_response⧽
