Instagram is a great social media platform for people who are just starting with social media. This is because it can be described as an overall platform with almost everything. From there, you can choose which parts of the platform you like the most and then niche down to a platform specializing in that. We know that sounds a bit confusing, but we’re sure a few examples will help. So, let’s think about everything you can do on Instagram. One can share pictures and check out their friends’ profiles. You can DM and share funny videos and posts with your friends. The Explore tab helps you see more of what you seem to like.
So, it’s the perfect place for you to explore and find what you want from social media as your form of relaxation. For example, if the only thing you like is being able to chat with your friends with funny GIFs, then WhatsApp, Telegram, and Messenger are the perfect fit for you.
Today’s blog will discuss what happens when you like an Instagram photo that you’ve already liked before.
What Happens When You Like Instagram Photo that You’ve Liked Before?
Instagram is slowly becoming the type of woke platform where even the smallest missteps can land you in big societal trouble. With that information in mind, it’s not that difficult to understand why you might be scared of liking someone’s Instagram post twice.
Thankfully, it’s not something you need to be scared about because double-liking is not a concept on Instagram. Regardless of how often you tap on someone’s picture, they’ll only receive one notification. So, in short, nothing happens when you like an Instagram photo you’ve already liked.
However, if you happen to unlike and then like a picture again, they will be notified that you liked their post. Chances are, they don’t even remember if you liked that picture before. But if it’s an old post, there’s a chance you might come across as a creep in this situation.
Don’t you worry; we’re here to get you out of this mess. You have two options here: you could block and unblock them again. If they call you out on it, you could simply say it was an accident or something like, “I was checking if you’d notice.”
Or, you could just tell them what happened truthfully. Although it’s a higher risk situation, it’ll also bear a higher reward.
Here’s how to block someone on Instagram
Step 1: Open Instagram and go to the Explore tab.
Step 2: Enter the name of the user you wish to block in the search bar at the screen’s top. From the results, select their profile.
Step 3: On their profile, tap on the ellipsis icon. Select Block from the list that appears, and that’s it!
Here’s how to unblock someone on Instagram
Step 1: Open Instagram and tap on the icon at the screen’s bottom right to go to Your Profile.
Step 2: Tap the hamburger icon at the top right. On the menu that materializes, select the top option, Settings.
Step 3: On the Settings page, you want to select Privacy. Now, scroll down to the bottom till you find Blocked Accounts.
Step 4: On the following list, tap the Unblock button next to the user you wish to unblock.
Now, all you need is a good excuse for this, and there are plenty. But you should keep in mind that people don’t react well to being blocked, be it a close friend or acquaintance. Unless you’re sure you’ll be able to convince them that it was a mistake, don’t try this method.
