Can you block someone on Instagram if their account has been deactivated

instagram

This is kind of petty but I cannot understand how a deactivated Instagram account can be blocked.

A friend claimed to have blocked me after deactivating my account. He assumed I blocked him.

My understanding is that if your Instagram account is deactivated, people are unable to view your profile. As such, they unable to block you… Is this right?

So I was either removed before deactivation or shortly after reactivating?

You can block a person who deactivated their Instagram, if you have exchanged private messages with them. Just go to that person private message in the inbox , then go to settings, and the press block sender. I promise that person will be blocked, even if they reactivate their account.
